Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes are set to battle each other for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event. This is a match that holds great significance for both superstars, as neither of them can afford to get pinned. As a result, a speculation has been swirling that WWE could add a third member to this clash, which is slated for this weekend.Fans believe Randy Orton could make a return tonight and get added to this Undisputed WWE Championship match. What makes it a believable case is the fact that the former United States Champion has a purpose to go after both superstars. On the one hand, he has a score to settle with McIntyre, while on the other, Orton has been wanting to get a shot at Rhodes' gold.However, the chances of The Apex Predator getting added to the Undisputed WWE Championship match at Saturday Night's Main Event are very low. Only one episode of SmackDown is left before the Peacock-streaming special, and it wouldn't be adequate to build a proper storyline, justifying Randy Orton's involvement in this blockbuster title match.Besides, if this move comes at the eleventh hour, it will look forced and redundant. WWE's creative head, Triple H, may not make such a hasty decision and the company would rather shift all its focus to Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. Moreover, Orton has been away from television for weeks now and it does not look like WWE has any major plans for him at this point.It will be interesting to see what unfolds tonight when the go-home edition of SmackDown for SNME emanates from Salt Lake City, Utah.Randy Orton to face Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre in a major PLE?Randy Orton's booking has remained uncertain of late as WWE has been using him sporadically on the shows. However, this could change soon as The Viper may return next week on SmackDown after Saturday Night's Main Event to start a blockbuster feud with Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.Currently, Rhodes and McIntyre have been feuding for the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, Orton could return after SNME and get involved in the mix. He could look to settle some unfinished business with The Scottish Warrior. Besides, The Viper may also set his sights on the top prize, aiming to become a 15-time World Champion.As a result, it could lead to a three-way feud for the Undisputed WWE Championship on SmackDown.
