3 unlikely things that could happen at WWE TLC 2018

2.) Baron Corbin will defeat Braun Strowman and become permanent RAW General Manager

In arguably the most interesting match on the card, Braun Strowman is scheduled to take on Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match with Strowman's Universal title match and Corbin's General Manager role on the line. The reason why this match is interesting is that Strowman recently had elbow surgery and no one is sure if he will show up this Sunday or not.

Regardless of if Strowman shows up or not, I expect lots of shenanigans to take place here since WWE will want to fill lots of time here. I see one of two things happening. The first is that Corbin comes to the ring and orders the referee to count to 10, which he does and Corbin wins via forfeit, but Strowman shows up after and destroys Corbin.

While this may seem silly, it keeps Corbin in charge of RAW, but also keeps Strowman looking strong. The other possibility is that Corbin comes to the ring and tells the referee to count to 10, which he does but Strowman shows up at the 9 count and the match happens, but Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley come out and take out Strowman, allowing Corbin to win and keep his job as General Manager.

It is important to remember that there is six weeks until the Royal Rumble. It's clear that Strowman v. Lesnar is the plan for the Royal Rumble, but you don't need to announce it that early. Strowman can get his title match another way and that's how you can build up to the Rumble instead of just having Strowman carrying the weight for six weeks while Lesnar isn't on television.

So I expect Corbin to win at TLC and make all of the babyfaces (including Seth Rollins) lives miserable for the foreseeable future.
