Randy Orton will face Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12th, 2025, emanating from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Viper and The ‘Alpha’ share an intense rivalry, and McIntyre challenged Orton upon his WWE return.

Both superstars have significant fan support from the WWE Universe, and fans expect it to be a power-packed bout.

Freddie Prinze Jr. picked his choice between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton

During an episode of Wrestling with Freddie, the former WWE writer was in conversation with Jeff Dye. During that, he picked The Scottish Warrior as the winner of McIntyre vs. Orton.

I’m going the other way, Jeff. I’m taking Drew McIntyre. He’s been off for a while. He’s taken some losses. He’s taken some beatings. I think he’s due for a good push. You got to get someone ready for the championship, after John Cena eventually loses, to pursue whoever that champion’s going to be. And Drew can kind of pursue him whether they’re a heel or a babyface. And, he’s the man. The crowd goes big for him.So, I’m going Drew all the way.
