As it was noted earlier and announced by WWE, Champion Drew McIntyre has tested positive for COVID-19.
WrestleVotes reports that WWE is working on a suitable replacement to face Randy Orton tonight on Monday Night Raw.
WWE was banking on McIntyre vs. Orton tonight to keep their ratings to a respectable level against the College Football Championship game.
In regards to the Royal Rumble on January 31, McIntyre could be ready in time for the show but at this point, nothing is guaranteed but Goldberg vs. McIntyre is still being advertised on WWE.com.
