5 Things WWE subtly told us at TLC 2020: Major mistake finally fixed, Returning star to lose Championship right after winning? (December 20th, 2020)

#3 WWE going all out with Sasha Banks after a massive TLC victory

And still!

We were among those worried that Sasha Banks would lose the SmackDown Women's title at TLC 2020. Technically, The Boss has already overcome the "first title defense" curse that followed her for the last four years.

However, given how WWE has been with Sasha Banks' title reigns, it's hard to blame anyone for thinking so. Banks' feud with Carmella hasn't exactly set the world on fire, but they had a solid, technical match to welcome the latter back to the ring after a long time away.

In a good effort, Sasha Banks ended up defeating Carmella at TLC 2020 to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship for the second time. This is a clear-cut indicator that WWE is going all-in with Sasha Banks as the SmackDown Women's Champion. After five short title reigns, she deserves one that has actual length and meaning.

The story played out well and the submission victory made it all the sweeter for The Boss at TLC.
