Drew McIntyre defeats Seth Rollins to retain WWE Championship at MITB 2020
At the Money in the Bank 2020 PPV, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre retained his title by defeating The Monday Night Messiah Seth Rollins via pinfall.
Last week, Seth Rollins had said that he believes Drew McIntyre should not be the WWE Champion as the Scottish Psychopath doesn’t have what it takes to be a good leader. Seth Rollins had even vowed to defeat Drew McIntyre at the Money in the Bank 2020 PPV and claimed that he would lead WWE to a bright future as the new champion. However, Seth Rollins failed to complete his vow as the WWE Champion defeated him in the recently concluded PPV. Drew McIntyre also proved to Seth Rollins that he could be a great leader as he thanked The Monday Night Messiah for delivering a great match while shaking his hand.
