Will they grab the golds?

4 Things WWE could be planning for TLC

The final pay-per-view of the year and the decade has arrived, as TLC is just a couple of days away. With several blockbuster matches set for the show, TLC is expected to tear the house down, ending the year on a high note.

Instead of The Fiend, Bray Wyatt himself will take on The Miz in a non-title match as part of the pay-per-view. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will team up to challenge the Women's Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki Warriors. The Viking Raiders will defend the RAW Tag Team Titles in an open challenge.

Feuding for a while over Lana, Bobby Lashley and Rusev will finally get the opportunity to settle their score in a Tables Match at TLC. The New Day will put their SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the line against The Revival, while Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy will tussle in a singles bout. Moreover, Roman Reigns and King Corbin will fight in a traditional TLC match.

#4 The Usos challenge The Viking Raiders

RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders will put their twin belts on the line, but their opponents are still unknown, as they will issue an open challenge to the rest of the RAW locker room. It will be interesting to see which team will answer their open challenge at TLC, as there are several interesting possibilities.

The OC, The Street Profits, and Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins are currently the Red Brand's tag teams. While The OC are involved in a different storyline, Ryder and Hawkins have not done anything to earn a title shot. Moreover, The Street Profits already faced The Viking Raiders on RAW last week.

As TLC is a pay-per-view, we could see a major surprise on Sunday. The Usos, who haven't been on TV for a while, could make a shocking come back, and answer The Viking Raiders' open challenge.

#3 Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch win the Women's Tag Team Titles

Set for TLC

Since winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles a few months ago, The Kabuki Warriors have been unbeatable, showing their credibility as champions, but they are set to face their biggest challengers in Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, who agreed to be on the same page on RAW last week. The Japanese duo and the two Horsewomen are incredible performers, and are capable of delivering a stupendous match at TLC.

With Charlotte Flair getting dominated by The Kabuki Warriors over the past couple of weeks, she will be eager for payback. She has a good chance too, especially considering she has the reigning RAW Women's Champion as her tag team partner.

The Kabuki Warriors, however, defeated Lynch and Flair once, owing to Asuka's green mist. The challengers will be cautious about the team's hidden weapon. As Lynch and Charlotte were already defeated once by Asuka and Sane, it is unlikely to happen again at TLC and stand a good chance of being crowned Women's Tag Team Champions on Sunday.

#2 Lana helps Bobby Lashley beat Rusev

It will be personal

A myriad of fans have shown their vexation in the storyline between Lana, Rusev, and Bobby Lashley, but still, WWE has continued, scheduling the first bout between Rusev and Lashley at TLC. It will be a Tables Match, and Lana will be at ringside supporting Bobby Lashley.

Rusev and Lana were scheduled to get divorced on RAW this week and the segment devolved into a wild brawl with Bobby Lashley slammed through a table, which was a teaser to their Tables Match this Sunday.

Given Lana's association with Lashley, 'The Ravishing Russian' should play an important part at TLC. She could assist Lashley in putting Rusev through a table, helping her new boyfriend secure a victory.

#1 Daniel Bryan interferes & costs Bray Wyatt the match against The Miz

It should be money

Even though the Universal Championship will not be defended at TLC, the Universal Champion will play a part in the show, participating in a non-title match. Bray Wyatt will lock horns with The Miz in a singles match. The Fiend, who has been dominating WWE for the past few months, will not be part of the event, as Bray Wyatt will be in the ring for the first time since coming back with his terrifying new gimmick earlier this year.

The Fiend wrestled and beat Daniel Bryan at Survivor Series. The two men renewed their feud after Survivor Series, as The Fiend decimated Daniel Bryan, dragging the latter under the ring and removing his hair, indicating a possible change in Bryan's character. Bryan hasn't shown up since the vicious attack, and might display a character change at TLC.

While Bray Wyatt is certainly a dangerous opponent for The Miz, he doesn't possess the same threat as his alter-ego, The Fiend. Daniel Bryan could show up for retaliation at TLC, attacking Bray Wyatt. If Bryan interferes the match at TLC, Wyatt has a chance of losing to The Miz.
