The WWE Championship should return to familiar territory this Sunday at SummerSlam, where it will be defended by Drew McIntyre against Randy Orton. The title has not closed out a pay-per-view since April, but that appears destined to change this Sunday.
McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar for the championship in the main event of WrestleMania 36’s second night. Over the past four months, WWE’s most prestigious belt has been placed in a prominent position, yet the main event spot has proven elusive.
McIntyre had a tremendous match with Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank, but that show was built around the Money in the Bank ladder match.
