WWE News Roundup: Legend unhappy over Zelina Vega's match being cut, John Cena's latest return, Top star wants Randy Orton as new WWE Champion (September 13, 2021)

#3 Drew McIntyre wants Randy Orton to become the new WWE Champion

In the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW, Bobby Lashley will defend his WWE Championship against Randy Orton.

Drew McIntyre, who is no stranger to feuding against Lashley and Orton, has picked the latter to win the match. The reasoning behind his pick is quite simple - McIntyre cannot technically challenge for the WWE title as long as The All Mighty remains champion. This development came as part of a stipulation when The Scottish Warrior lost to Bobby Lashley inside Hell in a Cell.

WWE's official Twitter account recently posted a video of Drew McIntyre making his prediction for Lashley's next title defense:

“Randy, very dangerous, one RKO, and the match is over. Lashley, dangerous, Hurt Lock is no joke. MVP will sc**w you over. I experienced it firsthand. I want Randy Orton to win, obviously. I can't fight for the WWE title until Lashley loses it. Randy is more than capable, all it’s gonna take is one RKO and the match is over. That’s my prediction!” said McIntyre.

Who does @DMcIntyreWWE think will win the #WWETitle match this Monday on #WWERaw? The answer is simple! #WWEDC pic.twitter.com/AdhN9eSbQz
