WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has been feuding with Randy Orton since August, with their first match taking place at SummerSlam. Soon after, they squared off in an Ambulance match at Payback, and the Scottish Psychopath has retained his title on both occasions.
However, both bouts had iffy finishes, so the two RAW Superstars will now square off inside the Hell in a Cell at the upcoming PPV of the same name.
Orton's past has been a big part of the feud, and in a recent interview with Metro, McIntyre shared his thoughts on The Viper's early years in WWE. "I was obviously aware of it. I didn’t get jealous, I never had that mentality but it was interesting to hear," he started.
"I never saw it at the worst, I guess – I heard the stories from the people that were there. I saw enough that I spoke about during the promos live on television. There’s a lot of truth to this story, and the things that Randy got away with. He says himself, he should have been fired a lot of times. The truth is, he was so good, so talented and had so much potential, that’s why he got away with murder."
This is an interesting take, and WWE has done a decent job of making things personal between these two heading into their next title match on PPV.
