A fresh contest over the most prestigious prize in sports entertainment is likely to be the main event of WWE TLC when Drew McIntyre faces AJ Styles. A Sudden Death Triple Threat was announced for last night’s episode of Monday Night Raw to determine the new number-one contender for the WWE Championship. By the end of the match, It was Styles who stood tall by taking advantage of the scenario to earn himself a title opportunity.
Riddle and Keith Lee were the two other competitors of the match other than Styles who hit a crossbody on Lee for a close two-count. He wanted to execute a Styles Clash on Riddle. But Riddle slid back from the hold before dropping Styles with an overhead kick followed by a German Suplex for another close 2-count.
