Bengaluru, November 20: An upset was reserved during the main event of past week’s episode of Monday Night RAW where Drew McIntyre pinned Randy Orton to win back the WWE Championship for the second time in his career. Not only did this end the historic fourteenth title reign of The Viper, but it also altered the lineup for Survivor Series 2020.
As per the theme of the show, the WWE Champion is scheduled to face the Universal Champion in a non-title Champion vs Champion match. So now Drew McIntyre will face Roman Reigns in a mega battle which can be billed as the top babyface going up against the top heel of the roster.
Sky Bet has revealed the betting odds for Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre at WWE Survivor Series 2020 and it's in favor of the blue brand. As per the odds, Roman is likely to pick up the win with 1/2 odds, while McIntyre is a narrow underdog at 6/4.
With Reigns being considered as a wise and trusted shoulder compared to Drew, it's likely that a win will be kept in store for him so that he remains undefeated since return at SummerSlam 2020.
For those who have forgotten, Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre collided at WrestleMania 35 in 2019 in a high stakes match and stretched that feud for months to follow. But the capacity is higher in Survivor Series 2020 as it shows how strongly these two characters have been built on WWE TV. It will be a true Clash of Titans, this Sunday night.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about this match and explained why WWE made a title switch, so late during the Survivor Series build. He added that after much consideration, the decision came down to WWE wanting to produce a babyface (Drew McIntyre) vs heel (Roman Reigns) match on November 22nd.
