Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, commonly known as TLC, has always been about the stipulations and conditions. With its own flair and unique matches, it has found a special place in every WWE fan's heart over the years.

Given WWE TLC is just two weeks away, fans all over the globe are waiting eagerly for the pay-per-view. While WWE has officially announced eight matches for the event so far, we might witness WWE adding one more match (Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton) to the event.

On another note, WWE hasn't added stipulations to most of the matches of the event so far. However, given we are still two weeks away, we might get to witness WWE doing the honours in the upcoming weeks.

So today in this article, lets look at 3 interesting stipulations WWE may add to the TLC match card in the upcoming weeks.

As usual, have your say in the comments section below and don't forget to follow if you had a good read.


#3 The Bar vs The Usos vs The New Day for the SmackDown tag team Championship in a ladder match

The Bar, current SmackDown Live tag team Champions, are all set to defend their title against The New Day and The Usos in a triple threat match at TLC, and given the match card for the event, a ladder match stipulation seems apt for the encounter.

We all have seen these teams in action on numerous occasions in normal matches, and another usual match would seem insignificant. Given the talent plus the occasion, a ladder match seems apt for these phenomenal teams to showcase their talents.

SmackDown has a phenomenal tag team division compared to the red brand. They have some performers who have proven their worth time and again inside the WWE ring. Thus a ladder match could totally do justice not only for their talents, but the characters (The New Day, etc) on display.

#2 Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship in a steel cage match

Well, it's brother vs brother at TLC. Yeah, you heard that right, Seth Rollins will defend his Intercontinental Championship against his Shield-brother turned rouge, Dean Ambrose, at TLC.

Well, after turning rogue on his brother Seth Rollins, Ambrose's character has been quite underwhelming recently.

With The Lunatic Fringe featuring in one of the most bizarre promos in recent memory last week on Raw, it would not be wrong to say that the feud itself has not lived up to the expectations of fans. However, all is not yet lost as WWE still has two weeks in hand to work on the feud.

One such way could be a steel cage stipulation for the match at TLC. Given how Ambrose has evaded Rollins on various occasions lately, both men locked inside a steel cage at TLC seems perfect for the encounter. Both men are proven performers and would certainly live up to expectations inside the cage.

#1 Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton in a 'hair vs mask' match

Rey Mysterio's return and his recent feud with The Viper Randy Orton has been one of the more fascinating things happening on the SmackDown brand. The heel run of Orton has been impressive, as one can see how he is owning his character.

Attacking Mysterio two weeks ago on SmackDown, Orton not only decimated him, but pulled off The Underdog's mask and carried it backstage. In fact, last week on SmackDown Live, he posed at ringside with Mysterio's mask. Given TLC is all about unique stipulations, this could call for a traditional 'hair vs mask' match between the two legends on December 16.

Even though the match itself has not been added to the TLC card, it looks likely WWE might do the honours this Tuesday night.
