The recently concluded TLC Pay-Per-View was a mixed bag of good and underwhelming content scattered throughout the event.
Perhaps the biggest talking point in terms of characters seems to be Daniel Bryan's comeback. The former Planet's Champion reverted to his old look after being manhandled by The Fiend on SmackDown a few weeks ago.
On the other hand, Roman Reigns and King Corbin's feud just entered into an even bigger phase. This comes off as an interesting development since most fans were under the impression that TLC 2019 would have been a fitting conclusion to their never-ending feud.
Even the main event felt bittersweet when Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair battled The Kabuki Warriors in a good, yet botch-riddled TLC contest.
Here are a few interesting observations from WWE TLC 2019 (15th December 2019):
#3: Why 'Becky Lynch vs. Asuka' seems to be the next logical feud after TLC 2019
The Kabuki Warriors retained their Women's Tag Team Championships after Asuka climbed onto the top of the ladder to retrieve their respective titles.
Kairi Sane looked concussed during the bout's proceedings. This might be a huge reason as to why the match probably deviated from its original structure in between.
You could see that the women were trying to make the best out of the given situation, and unfortunately, the circumstances and botches prevented the participants from putting on a coherent matchup in the end.
With that being said, it wasn't all bad.
As the Kabuki Warriors stood victorious after the match was over, Asuka seems to be the only top heel that has built herself capable enough to face Becky Lynch at next year's Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View.
Of course, Lynch has never pinned Asuka before, and that is a good selling point as to why the same matchup from this year's Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View should kickstart the women's Road to WrestleMania in 2020.

#2: Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin's feud has been stretched way beyond its shelf life
In what felt like an impromptu moment at the end of the Pay-Per-View, Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin's brawl interrupted The Kabuki Warrior's celebration following the main event.
Reigns and Corbin have great chemistry together.
Something about their matches always resonates with the live crowd every time they step into the ring as bitter rivals.
But Corbin's victory only means that his feud with The Big Dog is far from over. We all know that this only ends with Reigns coming out on top.
Rumors suggest that The Big Dog is most favored to win next year's 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. If that is true, then his dominant display against everyone at the end of the event was probably a hint towards the same.
Perhaps one of the reasons why WWE has decided to extend this feud beyond TLC is because you need someone opposite to Roman Reigns - like King Corbin - whose mere presence dilutes out all negative reactions (if any) towards Reigns in the end.
During next year's 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, Corbin and Reigns could be the last two wrestlers in the ring, and the only way Reigns wins the match without a huge fan backlash is by putting him against someone who draws all of the negativity upon himself (Corbin).
#1: Why Daniel Bryan returned as an old version of himself to attack "Fun House" Bray Wyatt out of nowhere
As for the "end of the decade" challenges, Daniel Bryan looked the same at TLC 2019 as he did at the start of this decade.
After The Fiend ripped out his hair on SmackDown a few weeks ago, Bryan returned as a version of himself that derives a lot from several gimmicks in his WWE career.
At 38 years old, Bryan wrestles more effectively than most of the younger talent on the roster. Unlike Finn Balor and Seth Rollins, it appears as if "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt actually "healed" Bryan in the process.
Not only does the former Planet's Champion appear more sharp and agile than before, but with the "YES" Movement also being resurrected into existence, Bryan has all the momentum behind him right now.
This rivalry has also got to be the most intelligent WWE feud of the year.
"Fun House" Bray Wyatt is being booked as a separate entity from "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt. You can make out how different both characters are in terms of body language and in-ring psychology too.
So, "Fun House" Bray Wyatt had no other choice but to retreat (or be saved by The Fiend) at the end because The Fiend might have indirectly created the best version of Daniel Bryan we have seen in years.
