Every good story needs a great hero and a great villain. If Drew McIntyre is the biggest hero on Monday Nights, the moniker of the Brand's most nefarious villain has to go to The Viper, Randy Orton. The Apex Predator has been on roll through 2020 and is undoubtedly the best heel in the business once. From his promos to his stellar in-ring work, the third-generation Superstar hasn't missed a step throughout the year.

While his match against Edge at WrestleMania 36 came under a lot of criticism, The Viper more than made up for it by having one of the best matches of the year against The Rated-R Superstar at Backlash. After putting down Edge and his best friend, Christian, Orton has currently set his sights on another legend, The Big Show.

While some might argue against it, given The Viper's track record of delivering damp squibs at SummerSlam, we are here to remind you that it is the best version of Randy Orton. Many believe that The Viper is at the prime of his career at the moment.

Drew McIntyre has expressed his desire to face off against The Apex Predator. Drew McIntyre dubbed Orton as the 'Joker to his Batman', someone who can help him in his solidify his position as a top dog in WWE.

It's almost been a year since Orton challenged for a World Title. Given the dearth of top heels on RAW, Orton seems to be an obvious choice. A win over Drew McIntyre will be the perfect way for Orton to cap off what has been one of the best heel runs in recent memory.
