#3 Drew McIntyre retains his WWE Championship at TLC, possibly to clash with Sheamus at Royal Rumble

Drew McIntyre retaining his WWE Championship at TLC 2020 was absolutely the right decision. There was no point in giving him a second run with the title only to make him drop it a few days later.

However, there were more than a few moments in this TLC match when it felt AJ Styles may walk out with his third world championship win. A fantastic encounter from top-to-bottom, the inclusion of The Miz in the ending stages of the match further indicated that we might be in for a massive title change.

Eventually, things ended in a predictable yet right manner, with another match from McIntyre and Styles possible down the road, considering The Miz played a minor spoilsport. However, the reigning WWE Champion must be ready to face his imminent challenger in the form of Sheamus at Royal Rumble.

Also, the rumors of McIntyre possibly dropping his title as a result of RAW’s dwindling ratings thankfully didn’t come true. If there's any Superstar who can take RAW's momentum forward in the long-run, it's The Scottish Psychopath.
