5 Reasons Drew McIntyre should retain the WWE Championship at SummerSlam

#4. Randy Orton doesn't need a WWE Championship at this stage of his career

Drew McIntyre, Ric Flair, and Randy Orton

Randy Orton is arguably enjoying one of the most phenomenal runs of his professional wrestling career right now. 'The Viper' has been tremendous during his current heel run and has been top-notch both inside the ring and on the microphone in the lead-up to his feud against Drew McIntyre.

By now, Orton has already established his place as a veteran of the business and has numerous world title reigns to his name. While he would absolutely love to add another come SummerSlam 2020 and eventually get another step closer to breaking Ric Flair's record, beating Drew McIntyre to do so isn't exactly a necessity.

Randy Orton always was and will be relevant in WWE. And, he still will be the hottest heel in the company even without a World Title around his waist. As of now, Randy Orton's next World Title reign can wait a little longer and it certainly doesn't need to occur against Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam 2020.
