WWE has announced a couple of major title matches for next week's episode of Raw.

The most notable of these bouts is Randy Orton defending his WWE Championship against the man he took it from, Drew McIntyre. Defeating 'The Viper' will mean McIntyre replacing his rival against Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Survivor Series 2020 next weekend.

Hell In A Cell 2020 saw Orton take the belt from McIntyre at the third time of asking, having fallen to the Scot at SummerSlam and Clash of Champions. The duo have continued feuding since then, even meeting on opposite sides of a six-man tag on last night's show, with McIntyre picking up the pinfall that saw him and The New Day defeat Orton, John Morrison, and The Miz.

The Survivor Series go-home Raw will also see Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston putting their Tag Team Championships on the line against Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin of the Hurt Business. This will be The New Day's second defence since swapping belts with The Street Profits upon moving from SmackDown to Raw. They are currently booked to face Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford at the PPV.
