#5 Randy Orton couldn't lose to Drew McIntyre for the third time
Even though there's an argument to be made that Drew McIntyre needs the WWE Championship far more than Randy Orton does, you cannot dispute the fact that for Randy Orton to lose the third successive contest to Drew McIntyre would have just diminished the aura the man has. Even though Randy Orton has been blessed with a fantastic career where he has achieved much, many feel that the 2020 version of Randy Orton is his best avatar. As for Drew McIntyre, there is no shame in losing to one of the all-time greats.
