UPDATED: More On Spoiler For Tonight’s Raw, WWE Behind in Scripting Show
UPDATED: A new report confirms the previously-noted potential spoiler for tonight’s Raw, with details on how Drew McIntyre’s COVID-19 positive has affected planning the show. PWInsider reports that the main story for tonight’s show will build to a confrontation between Randy Orton vs. Triple H in the main event slot.
The site also notes that WWE is way behind on scripting the show and that as of 7:02 PM ET the first hour had not yet been completed. There were at that point only rough outlines for hours two and three so it’s not yet certain if this is an actual match or just a brawl between the two. While the lateness of completing the show is of course not something new, this week’s is specifically due to McIntyre’s positive test.
ORIGINAL: A big possible spoiler is online for tonight’s episode of Raw. As previously reported, Triple H is set to start tonight’s show after WWE had to change plans around due to Drew McIntyre testing positive for COVID-19.
According to Wrestling Inc, the word backstage at Raw is that The Game will be wrestling on tonight’s show. This would make for the WWE executive’s first match since June of 2019, when he worked a special live event in Tokyo, Japan.
WWE is said to be shuffling things around to deliver a big show even with McIntyre being out of action, and thus out of his match with Randy Orton. Orton is reportedly still working the main event of Raw, though it isn’t known if he will be facing Triple H or someone else.
