WWE recently revealed that Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will appear on this week’s WWE RAW where he’ll give fans an update on Ric Flair’s health. The Nature Boy was attacked by Randy Orton last week after the two delivered an incredible promo. The incident hyped up the ongoing Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre feud and also gave a healthy boost to the Randy Orton vs Edge storyline that is currently on hold. Randy Orton is scheduled to face WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam 2020 which will take place on August 23 (August 24 for Indian viewers).

Randy Orton was earlier scheduled to face Edge at SummerSlam, but after the Hall of Famer injured himself at WWE Backlash, plans were changed. After that, WWE chose to go with a Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre feud which will now headline SummerSlam. There is speculation that the Rated-R Superstar could soon return and continue his feud with The Legend Killer. WrestlingNews claims Randy Orton will become the new WWE Champion at SummerSlam but will go on to lose his title to Edge at Royal Rumble 2021 or WrestleMania 37.

“An idea was pitched to have Orton win the title and then defend against Edge at the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania and McIntyre could win the title again at a later date to get his true crowning moment with fans in attendance,” claimed the report.
