WWE TLC 2015: Full match card analysis and predictions

We might get to see this sight on the Raw after TLCTables, Ladders and Chairs.For ordinary muggles, these might just be things lying around their house, but for a wrestling fan, Tables, ladders and chairs are the weapons that gave them a plethora of memories to cherish. In addition, on Sunday night, the WWE Universe will get some new memories for their archive vault.WWE has a packed card for the last pay-per-view of 2015 and it might have some direct implications on the Road to WrestleMania. Also, the entire WWE team will be looking to end 2015 with a bang after the recent drop in the ratings.With just days away from the latest edition of TLC, we give you the complete match card analysis and predictions for the pay-per-view.

#7 Predicted Match: Ryback vs. Rusev

WWE did not announce this match on the homecoming edition of Raw, but at some point before the pay-per-view, this will surely be added to the card.

Ryback and Rusev will simply not be excluded from the year ending pay-per-view and they will get their fair share of the limelight. However, the chances of this match adding anything extra to the show are quite minimal.

It will probably be treated as a boring affair and at the end of the day, it would be hard for us to remember that the match even happened. Rusev is the favourite to win this one and his League of Nations friends or Lana could help him get there.

Prediction: Rusev wins.

#6 Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger (United States Championship)

The way in which both superstars were using chairs throughout the past few weeks made it clear that it was going to be a chairs match between these two.

For most of the fans, this might serve as a toilet break and to an extent; WWE cannot blame them. The feud did have an initial storyline foundation, but the execution from WWE’s side felt heavily ordinary.

They did not bother developing the story beyond the premature stages and it really hurt everyone involved. The association between Del Rio and Zeb Colter could break down at the pay-per-view, but Del Rio is going to keep hold of the Championship until you know who returns – John Cena.

Prediction: Del Rio retains.

#5 Charlotte vs. Paige (Divas Championship)

This is perhaps the most confusing feud in the WWE right now. It was supposed to follow the usual babyface-heel dynamic at one point, but then WWE screwed everything up and now we have no idea on whom to cheer.

Of course, keeping the match neutral would have worked if it was down in NXT, but the main roster crowd are unforgiving when it comes to such matches. And to top it off, it is a divas match as well.

It has all the flavours of a potential disaster. For the prediction, Charlotte is unlikely to drop the title to Paige at TLC and we might get to see the inclusion of Becky Lynch into the scenario.

Prediction: Charlotte retains.

#4 Kevin Owens vs. Dean Ambrose (Intercontinental Championship)

Owens and Ambrose had a great match at Survivor series. These two clearly had more to come and WWE did the right decision by booking them into another pay-per-view match.

The Intercontinental Championship on the line raises the stakes for this one. This match could go either way. Ambrose winning the championship from Owens would set the stage for a rematch between these two at Royal Rumble, but pushing this feud to a third pay-per-view might not go down well with the WWE universe.

So WWE is likely to end it at TLC with a Kevin Owens win. Ambrose could then recover from the defeat with a solid performance in the Royal Rumble match.

Prediction: Kevin Owens retains.

#3 Team ECW vs. Wyatt Family (8 Man Elimination Match)

For the second consecutive pay-per-view, Wyatt Family is booked alongside some legendary names in the business.

Last time around, it did not go well for the Wyatts as the Brothers of destruction put them into place. Now, Wyatts are in a mission to regain the lost momentum and in their way are some of the most extreme wrestlers that used to be part of a revolution in the 90s.

The match is expected to be a fun affair with all the tables that are going to be annihilated. As for the result, a win for Wyatt Family is the right way to go. The ECW originals are not desperate to add one more win to their resume, but at this moment, the Wyatt family are.

Prediction: Wyatt family wins.

#2 New Day vs. Lucha Dragons vs. Usos (Tag Team Championship)

From a wrestling point of view, this match has the potential to steal the show.

We are bound to see some fast-paced tag team action when the bell rings and it will be a treat to say the least. If this was not enough, we got the New Day and ladders. The entertainment quotient in the match is going to be too damn high because of all these factors in play.

In short, no matter how hard WWE might push the other matches; this could end up being the best one on the card. Either New Day or the Usos could walk out with the championship, but it is New Day that has the upper hand.

WWE would want to put over Usos in a two-team match rather than a three-team affair. Therefore, the title is likely to stick with the New Day for the time being.

Prediction: New Day wins.

#1 Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)

The chances of the title going out of his hands are nil

Although most fans find it hard to digest this match, sadly, this is the best that WWE could afford at this moment.

They are trying desperately to get the fans invested into this feud and to an extent; they have been successful as well. The baby face credentials of Roman Reigns are indeed getting a boost, but on the longer run, this is not going to be enough.

When it comes to the winner of the match, there is no other result that Sheamus regaining the championship. Taking the title so early from him would not be a good thing for anyone and WWE is well aware of this fact.

Reigns is likely to get screwed again in an attempt to make him attract more sympathy.
