3 Things possible at WWE TLC 2019

The last PPV of the decade!
The last PPV of the decade!

With the year and decade coming to an end in a few weeks, WWE will look to cap off a successful year with one of the most brutal nights of the year. This Sunday, the promotion will go live on the WWE Network from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota with its annual TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs pay-per-view.

TLC is usually one of the better events on the WWE calendar as there are multiple hardcore matches on the card. The event usually has a tables match, a ladders match, a chairs match, and a TLC match in the main event. However, like the Hell in a Cell event in October, this card has a strange build and there will likely be multiple last-minute matches announced. As of now, there are seven matches announced for this Sunday’s show.

On the RAW side of the card, Russev and Bobby Lashley will finally clash in a Tables match. Their rivalry has been brewing for months as a result of an extremely personal storyline. The Viking Raiders will issue an open challenge for the RAW Tag Team Championship.

Aleister Black will clash with Buddy Murphy in a Single's maMatchFinally, the odd team of Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will challenge the Kabuki Warriors in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

On the SmackDown side of the card, the New Day will once again collide with the Revival for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Roman Reigns will go one on one with King Corbin in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match. In the main event for the blue brand, “The Man” Bray Wyatt will go one on one with the Miz in a non-title match.

With that being said, here are 3 things possible for this Sunday’s TLC Pay per view. What are your thoughts and predictions? Leave them in the comments section. Also, be sure to stay tuned to Sportskeeda for the latest breaking news and rumors as TLC draws closer.


#3 Bray Wyatt will defeat The Miz with assistance from The Fiend

In an unexpected turn of events, 'The Fiend' will not be wrestling in a match at TLC this Sunday. Instead, Bray Wyatt himself will be taking on The Miz in a non-title match. This match came to be after The Fiend ripped Daniel Bryan’s hair off a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown.

This will be the in-ring debut of the Firefly Fun House version of Wyatt. Hence, it will be interesting to see how he is booked and how he wrestles as compared to 'The Fiend'. One would think that he might not be booked too strong since he is supposed to be a “healer” while the Fiend “hurts” people. Don’t be surprised if Wyatt is reluctant to hurt the Miz too much. This is where The Fiend comes into play.

Maybe there will be an accidental ref bump, which leaves one or both men down. When that happens, the lights go out and The Fiend attacks the Miz and Wyatt picks up the victory. An ending like this would help book Miz in a strong light. At the same time, it will also highlight the "healer" aspect of Wyatt's character.

#2 Ronda Rousey or Shayna Bazler will cost Becky Lynch the Women's Tag Team Championships

A possible return?
A possible return?

In the main event of last year's TLC event, Ronda Rousey cost Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Asuka. Could we see the same thing happen one year later?

This year, Becky and Charlotte are teaming together to take on the Kabuki Warriors for the Women’s Tag Team Championships. They even raised the bar this week on RAW by making it a TLC match.

Now, here's why it sounds familiar. Last year, Becky, Charlotte, and Asuka were in a TLC match for the Single's Championship. The only difference this year is that they are now challenging for the tag team gold and Kairi Sane is now in the mix. It’s doubtful that WWE will have Charlotte and more importantly, Becky loses cleanly. So, that is where Ronda Rousey or Shayna Bazler come into play.

Lynch hasn’t defended her title since Hell in a Cell back in October, so WWE is going to have to find her a fresh feud to start in 2020. Even if the match isn’t at the Rumble, the only two women that come to mind are Rousey and Bazler. Bazler is set to defend her NXT Women’s Championship next week on NXT, and she likely drops the belt there to move up to the main roster. An attack this Sunday at TLC to plant the seeds for the future feud isn’t far-fetched.

Then there is Rousey.

When the Women’s Triple Threat Match was the main event of Survivor Series last month, many thought that a Rousey return was possible, especially since the commentary team constantly brought her up. She didn’t appear, but you have to think that WWE is going to want her around for WrestleMania season.

Another thing to consider is that Rousey and Lynch have never had a one-on-one match, and Lynch didn’t beat Rousey in their triple-threat Match at WrestleMania. So, one would think that a singles match between the two for WrestleMania is the ideal plan.

With these two factors in mind, don’t be surprised if Rousey or Bazler show up this Sunday to kick start 2020 and a feud with “The Man” for the RAW Women’s Championship.

#1 Roman Reign's climb back to the top continues with a win against King Corbin

With WrestleMania season around the corner, you can almost guarantee that Roman Reigns will be heavily featured and most likely in a World Title picture. Last month, he was the sole survivor for Team SmackDown in their victory in the traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. The next stop on his road will be a victory over King Corbin at TLC.

While Reigns may not win the Royal Rumble next month, he will be a huge favorite in that match. Meanwhile, King Corbin has had the upper hand on Reigns throughout the majority of their feud, including dumping dog food on Reigns last week on SmackDown. A loss for Corbin won’t hurt him much as he has had a solid year in 2019.

With Reigns on a collision course for a possible WrestleMania match with The Fiend, he is going to have to be booked strongly since it is already established that it takes an enormous amount of damage to keep The Fiend down. So, expect Reigns to dominate Corbin at TLC to continue on the road that will lead him back to the top.
