We are less than 24 hours from the final pay-per-view of this decade, TLC. As of now, we have seven matches on the card ranging from regular singles bouts to gruelling TLC matches. We have three championships scheduled to be defended at the event - the RAW Tag Team Title, SmackDown Tag Team Title in regular 2-on-2 matches, and a TLC match for the Women's Tag Team Titles. Even though the Universal Champion Bray Wyatt is scheduled to fight The Miz at the event, that clash is not for the Universal Title.
With TLC 2019 being the final event of the year, WWE has some pressure on its back. The largest pro wrestling company on this planet will be looking forward to ending a few feuds at the event so that some of the Superstars can focus on the 2020 Royal Rumble. WWE cannot afford to make many mistakes on this PPV. In this article, we are going to take a look at a few things that should not happen at WWE TLC 2019.
#3 New Women's Tag Team Champions
One of the biggest matches at TLC 2019 is the Women's Tag Team Championship bout between the defending Champions Asuka and Kairi Sane and the team of Charlotte Flair and RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch. WWE would not be well-served to take the titles away from the Kabuki Warriors at TLC.
Lynch is already the RAW Women's Champion and making her "Becky 2 Belts" again, especially so soon, could wind up turning some fans against her. Adding another title to Charlotte's resume right now might not help her as well, especially after a recent turn back to the babyface end of the spectrum. "The Queen" has already broken the record of most title reigns by a woman in her short career and does not need another reign, singles or tag, right now.
Asuka and Sane are on a great run at the moment and taking the belts away from them will do no favours for anyone involved in the match.
#2 Extending feuds that should probably end
Even though Roman Reigns' revenge in the form of carnage on King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, and The Revival on the latest episode of SmackDown was enjoyable, we cannot take our eyes away from the fact that the rivalry between Reigns and Corbin has been less than incredible. WWE has been placing a large amount of the spotlight on this feud, as it has been the main event of SmackDown more weeks than not. TLC would be a great place to put this feud to bed and get both men ready for bigger and better things in 2020.
On RAW brand, the feud between Lana (with Bobby Lashley) and Rusev has been, well, polarizing, to put it nicely. Even though the fans have started supporting Rusev more than they have since the end of "Rusev Day", there are few other redeeming qualities surrounding this storyline, which has been going on for quite a long time. Similar to the Reigns - Corbin feud on SmackDown, WWE believes the Rusev - Lana storyline is one the best parts of RAW. Just like Reigns - Corbin, though, Sunday night's PPV event is the time for one man (or one man and one woman) to stand tall and let all three performers move on to something new.
#1 Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin closing the show
One of the biggest reasons why WWE made the match between Bray Wyatt and The Miz a non-title affair may have been to give the main event of TLC 2019 to Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin. We can all agree that the feud between Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns is a heated one, but it's tough to say it's a match deserving of the brutal TLC match stipulation. They have ramped up the aggression in recent weeks, however, so there are two sides to that coin.
TLC matches ending in a pinfall or submission, with nothing on the line above the ring, are pretty much nothing more than no-DQ matches that guarantee that tables, ladders, and chairs will all be used. Doing something like putting a briefcase (or just a clipboard) with a contract to be #30 in the Royal Rumble match adds stakes to the contest, and is thus more rewarding for the fans.
Since the TLC match is eponymous to the show, WWE will give the main event slot to one of these matches. WWE has to make a choice between a non-title match and a Tag Title match featuring 4 of its top female stars. The right call in this situation is probably giving the main event slot to Becky, Charlotte, Asuka, and Kairi. At last year's TLC, Charlotte, Asuka, and Becky put forward a performance of the year contender in the main event. Let them do it again this year, just with the added bonus of the fantastic Kairi Sane.
