For those wondering what a Sudden Death Triple Threat Match was supposed to be, it ended up being no different compared to a normal Triple Threat Match in WWE.

While that was a bait-tactic on WWE's part to reel in viewers for Keith Lee, AJ Styles, and Riddle's number one contender's triple threat match, the bout itself was an engaging affair and it was certainly the match of the night.

As all three men gave it their best shot this week, the more experienced veteran - AJ Styles - prevailed as the victor in the end.

It was being rumored that Braun Strowman would somehow end up being the challenger to Drew McIntyre's WWE title. But AJ Styles was the best pick for The Scottish Warrior at this juncture.

A loss wouldn't affect The Phenomenal One's momentum in WWE, while Riddle and Keith Lee could potentially face McIntyre down the road when both of them have gained enough momentum to challenge the WWE Champion.

The good news for Riddle is that he may move on to a feud against Bobby Lashley after The All-Mighty attacked him in a backstage segment this week.

Styles and McIntyre haven't faced each other in a one-on-one match inside WWE's squared circle, so their upcoming clash at TLC is something that most fans are looking forward to at the moment.
