Bengaluru, August 14: The SummerSlam rivalry between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre has been escalating for the last few weeks. While The Champion has proven his dominance over the Raw roster, The Challenger appears to no less by bringing back the Legend Killer gimmick who is hunting down the legendary names of the WWE, systematically.
The Nature Boy was the latest one to be on that list. As seen on this week’s episode of RAW, Randy Orton turned on Ric Flair after his big win against Kevin Owens. He hit a low-blow on the veteran before punting him in the head. It was an apparent way to write Flair off the storyline perspective. But that may not be the case.
Major spoiler ahead:
According to the latest information by Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the partnership between Randy Orton and Ric Flair is still intact. WWE has a major swerve planned, here that would play out to be a shocker at SummerSlam 2020. This, in turn, will allow Orton to become a fourteen-time world champion.

I Wanted Last Night To Go Differently. What I Would Have Said Is I Don’t Know What Would’ve Happened If My Son Was In This Business. But I Do Know What Charlotte Has Done, And Like You Randy, She Is Much Better Than I Ever Was, Just Like You Have Surpassed Your Father. That’s it. pic.twitter.com/TNOsjSodVi
