With WWE Champion Drew McIntyre testing positive for COVID-19, WWE had to make changes to the lineup for last night’s episode of Raw.

McIntyre had originally been set to face Randy Orton in a non-title match in last night’s main event. Triple H instead made his return to Raw in last night’s opening segment and was interrupted by Orton. Triple H accepted Orton’s challenge to face him in a fight later in the show.

After Triple H retrieved a sledgehammer from under the ring, the lights started to go out. The sledgehammer was then lit on fire. The lights fully went out — and Triple H was gone when they came back. Alexa Bliss appeared in the corner of the ring and shot a fireball into Orton’s face. Orton writhed in pain as the show went off the air and the commentary team speculated that Orton might now be blind.

McIntyre still appeared on last night’s show via video and gave an update on his condition. McIntyre said he isn’t experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and urged everyone to take COVID-19 seriously. Later in the episode, another video aired where McIntyre accepted Goldberg’s challenge for a WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble.
