3 things WWE hinted on the RAW before TLC (9 December 2019)

#2 The US Championship will not be on the line at TLC

The WWE Championship will not be defended at TLC, as Brock Lesnar hasn't been on RAW for a while. Furthermore, another major singles title of RAW might not be defended on TLC. Rey Mysterio, the US Champion, already defended his title on RAW this week, beating AJ Styles in the main event of the night.

Having won the US Championship on the RAW after Survivor Series, it was the maiden title defense for Rey Mysterio on RAW this week. Similar to their last bout, the two high-flyers delivered a spectacular match, but the match had an interference, which was certainly expected. Randy Orton cost AJ Styles the US Title two weeks ago, and he did so again on RAW this week, as a distraction allowed Mysterio to pick up a victory.

Since Mysterio won the rematch, it is improbable that Styles will get another rematch at TLC. Also, Styles has started a new feud with Randy Orton. Given it was the final episode before heading to TLC, WWE doesn't have the time to build up a new feud for Rey Mysterio. Hence, the US Title is unlikely to be on the line at TLC.
