It didn't take Drew McIntyre long to take back the WWE title
Drew McIntyre had won the WWE title by defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 and had successfully defended it against several opponents over the next few months. He finally lost the belt to Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell, in what was Orton's 14th World title win.
McIntyre was determined to take back the WWE title from The Viper, and he did exactly what he had been promising over the past few weeks. Drew McIntyre has had the greatest year of his pro wrestling career in 2020, and things only got better tonight. Here's hoping he gets another lengthy WWE title reign on the RAW brand.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
