Miz Cashes In His Money In The Bank Briefcase And Fails At WWE TLC 2020

Unfortunately for The Miz, WWE TLC was not awesome.

During a hellacious TLC match between AJ Styles and Drew McIntyre, The Miz came out to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase but despite his best efforts and proclaiming earlier today that he could lead Monday Night Raw, Miz was unable to come away with the championship as Drew McIntyre once again successfully retained the gold.

The TLC match opened the event, as was first reported by our premium service, Fightful Select and would see AJ and later on, The Miz, do everything they could to wrestle away the championship from Drew McIntyre but McIntyre was able to fight through a brutal leg injury to climb the ladder of success.
