In this article, we will take a look at things that three things shouldn’t happen at WWE TLC and two that should. So, without further ado, let’s dig right in.


#1 Shouldn’t happen at WWE TLC: Roman Reigns wins clean

Since Survivor Series last month, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens have been involved in a brutal feud on WWE SmackDown. Both Superstars, along with Jey Uso and Paul Heyman, have worked extremely hard to deliver one of the best storylines in the business at the moment. They are now set to lock horns in a singles match at WWE TLC with Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship on the line.

Owens has nailed the role of the babyface heading into the match while Reigns is at his absolute best right now. The standout point from this feud remains the fact that Owens has taken the fight to Reigns every single time. From calling out The Tribal Chief for treating his cousin Jey Uso unfairly to mocking the actual importance of The Head of the Table, KO has done a brilliant job in making Reigns look like a villain ahead of WWE TLC.

As for Roman Reigns himself, his reliance on Jey Uso to do his dirty work, low blows, and other unfair means to win major matches have been a highlight of his heel run. That shouldn’t change when he is defending his Universal Championship at WWE TLC. There are a lot of interesting possibilities that the creative can explore as they can rely on last-minute interferences as well as typical low blows for the champion. He must employ one of those methods to pick a win at the upcoming pay-per-view.

An unclean victory for Roman Reigns will allow the creative to protect Kevin Owens while also ensuring that a lot more heat is directed towards Roman Reigns. This is one of the few ongoing feuds in the company that can be continued beyond WWE TLC. After spending months on the side-line, KO is finally involved in a world title picture, and he deserves to stay there for a while.

#1 Should happen at WWE TLC: Sasha Banks retains her title

Sasha Banks won the SmackDown Women’s Championship and retained it against Bayley. Her celebration, however, was cut short by Carmella who returned and attacked the champion. Both Superstars have been engaged in brutal backstage altercations over the last few weeks. Banks is now scheduled to put her title on the line against Carmella at WWE TLC.

Both Banks and Carmella locked horns for the title on SmackDown as well. However, that match ended in a disqualification after Carmella’s associate was involved. It appears that she will use that advantage once again at WWE TLC. However, it should be Banks who gets to walk away with the championship.

Sasha Banks is an incredible Superstars and is arguably one of the best performers in WWE today. She can carry herself very well inside the ring as well as on the mic. She should be the SmackDown Women’s Champion for a while as it will allow the creative to identify other challengers in the meantime. We could see her feud with Bianca Belair as well, which is expected to challenge for the title soon. But none of that will happen if Banks ends up losing her title at WWE TLC.

#2 Shouldn’t happen at WWE TLC: The Fiend loses to Randy Orton

The ongoing feud between ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton on RAW has picked up a lot of pace over the last few weeks. Since both these Superstars share a long history, their rivalry seems all the more interesting right now. They are set to lock horns in a Firefly Inferno Match at WWE TLC, and it should be The Fiend who gets a victory.

Previously, we saw The Fiend hail Alexa Bliss as his strength, but Randy Orton was quick to turn things around. He showed how he could use Bliss as The Fiend’s weakness instead. That said Bliss could still make an appearance during their WWE TLC only this time she will have a better plan. It will be too soon to tease a plausible split between Bray Wyatt and Bliss as of now.

Most importantly, The Fiend can’t afford to lose another big match. It is obvious that he has lost a lot of momentum since his debut and the creative have to book him strongly to keep him relevant. This match has a lot of potential something that will immensely benefit both the Superstars. As far as Randy Orton is concerned, a loss at WWE TLC won’t cause a lot of harm to The Viper.

#2 Should happen at WWE TLC: The Hurt Business win the RAW Tag Team Championships

In the weeks leading up to WWE TLC, we have seen Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods engage in multiple altercations with Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin. It is safe to say that Alexander has been booked quite strongly throughout this rivalry. The two members of The Hurt Business are now set to challenge The New Day for the RAW Tag Team Championships.

This match for the tag team gold should end with Alexander and Benjamin winning the titles. It would be a huge step-up for them, and if the last few weeks have proved anything, it’s that they both deserve to become the champions. With their win at WWE TLC, the three members of The Hurt Business will now have a title around their waist.

It is important for the RAW’s tag team division to crown new champions. They desperately need other teams to challenge for the title. Alexander and Benjamin’s victory at WWE TLC will allow other teams to get into the mix in the weeks to come. Even if that doesn’t happen, we can always see The New Day and The Hurt Business continue their feud beyond the upcoming pay-per-view.

#3 Shouldn’t happen at WWE TLC: A successful Money in the Bank cash-in

Miz can definitely wait with his MITB cash-in

After a long wait, we are finally set to see Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles lock horns inside the squared circle. Both Superstars are booked for a match at WWE TLC with McIntyre’s WWE Championship on the line. But the latter has another threat looming in the back as The Miz intends to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract.

Miz promised that if Styles can’t take the title away from McIntyre, he will end up cashing-in his MITB contract. As exciting as it may seem that shouldn’t happen at WWE TLC. McIntyre is in the form of his life at the moment, and losing the title might end up jeopardizing the same. With Roman Reigns as the biggest heel in WWE right now the promotion needs someone like McIntyre to hold onto the other world championship.

Miz should actually cash-in his MITB contract on WWE RAW which will certainly help the show with its ratings. At WWE TLC, McIntyre and Styles deserve all the attention as two of the best performers from the Red brand go toe-to-toe. Hopefully, WWE will reserve the MITB cash-in for when it would actually come across as a surprise.
