AJ Styles has previously competed in one WWE Championship TLC match at the 2016 event when he successfully defended the gold against Dean Ambrose, aka Jon Moxley, in a match that would also see him rip his tights. As for Drew McIntyre, he is probably more closely associated with WeeLC, a match that took place between Hornswoggle and El Torito on the Kickoff show of a WWE Extreme Rules show in 2014. Drew McIntyre was a stablemate of Hornswoggle’s in 3MB and this match would see McIntyre put himself through a table with a tope for no reason at all.
