#2 Drew McIntyre defied the odds to retain the WWE Championship at WWE TLC

The pay-pay-view portion of WWE TLC 2020 opened with Drew McIntyre taking on AJ Styles in the first Tables, Ladders and Chairs match of the evening.

But the one-on-one WWE Championship match would eventually become a Triple Threat bout when The Miz cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase in the middle of the conest.

The Miz made his entrance while both McIntyre and Styles were down. He clearly felt that he could climb the ladder and steal the title.

Enter Styles' massive associate, Omos. The imposing Superstar made his way into the ring and swiftly took The Miz off the ladder. He then slammed Mr. Money in the Bank through a table at ringside.

Ultimately, McIntyre went on to retain his title, and he will likely enter the new year as the WWE Champion.

After its latest failure, the Money In The Bank briefcase is a concept that desperately needs some changes.

Braun Strowman failed to win a title after he won the briefcase in 2018. Likewise, Otis never received a title opportunity after he won the match this year. Instead, he lost the briefcase to The Miz. His unsuccessful cash-in at WWE TLC 2020 is another blow to the credibility of the famed contract.
