WWE TLC 2020 will see Drew McIntyre go one-on-one in a highly anticipated match against AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. However, the original plans for Drew McIntyre's opponent were different as Braun Strowman was going to challenge him. However, The Monster Among Men is currently facing a storyline suspension from WWE after he attacked Adam Pearce on RAW recently.

Bryan Alvarez reported on Wrestling Observer Live that Braun Strowman is rehabbing from a leg injury, but won't be out for a long time.

“The story, as noted, is that Braun was scheduled to face Drew McIntyre at TLC but he got the leg injury and he is rehabbing it. I didn’t hear anything about surgery, just that they are rehabbing it. Presumably, he won’t be out that long but I guess we’ll see.”

Really? You’re gonna suspend me for what expecting what I’ve earned? Everyone and their brother knows what I’ve done to get here and I’ve more than earn a title opportunity. To hell with this place & all the backstage politics BULLSH**!!! #ImDoneFollowingOrders #EveryoneWillFall https://t.co/5AnZBLZkqu

Drew McIntyre (c) vs. AJ Styles - TLC match for WWE Championship

AJ Styles defeated Keith Lee and Riddle in a triple-threat match on RAW a few weeks ago to earn the right to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at WWE TLC 2020. The match has since been announced to be a TLC match.

The strange alliance of AJ Styles with John Morrison and Mr. Money in the Bank The Miz has made things interesting. Could we see The Phenomenal One win the WWE Championship for the third time in his career at WWE TLC 2020? Or will The Miz, the ultimate opportunist, end 2020 as the new WWE Champion?
