Last night's TLC pay-per-view was WWE's final big event of 2019 and the company pushed the fact that it was the final pay-per-view of the decade throughout the show, so there was a feeling that stars thought they needed to go big.
Gimmick pay-per-views like TLC, Extreme Rules, Hell in a Cell and even Elimination Chamber usually have much more blood than most, since there are more weapons and more room for error throughout the show.
Last night there were several stars who were busted open from the strangest of spots, with the likes of Andrade, Big E, and Aleister Black all needing some medical attention following the show. That being said, there were also some very real injuries last night, which proves that the risks that these stars take inside that ring can sometimes backfire.
#3 Andrade
It was a rough night for the former NXT Champion as he looked for redemption in a rematch against Humberto Carrillo since he blamed Zelina Vega for the fact that he lost their original match last week on RAW.
The match was a late addition to the show and was relegated to the kick-off part of the night, but it saw Andrade once again come up short to the Mexican sensation before he appeared to blame Zelina Vega for the loss once again and walked away without her.
The match itself saw Andrade busted open just below his eye and blood seemed to gust out whilst he attempted to finish up the contest with a fraction of his vision. ProWrestling.com reported that the injury came from the springboard crossbody in the early stages of the match and that Andrade had some issues getting back to his feet after the move but despite the bleeding, Andrade was still able to finish up the match the way it was planned.
#2 Aleister Black
Aleister Black took on Buddy Murphy last night after the former Cruiserweight Champion stepped up to challenge The Dutch Destroyer after weeks of him waiting for someone to kick on his door. The two former NXT stars could easily have stolen the show with their match, but an injury in the opening stages meant that Aleister Black was forced to continue with a broken nose.
The spot looked as though it was a botch when Murphy looked to trip Black on the apron and send him into the post. Black was sent forward face first and didn't look as though he got his hands up which is what caused the injury.
He then rolled to the floor on the outside and his nose began to bleed heavily before close-ups showed that his nose was definitely broken. The former NXT Champion sucked up the pain and continued the match where he picked up the win over Murphy with a Black Mass out of nowhere, but after only coming back from a knee injury a few weeks ago, this would have been the last thing Black would have wanted.
#1 Kairi Sane
Kairi Sane teamed with Asuka last night as the two women defended their Women's Tag Team Championships against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in the main event. Sane was the only woman in this match who wasn't part of the original women's TLC match last year at this event and it appears that she was the one who came out of the match worse off.
The added tables, ladders and chairs aspect of the match really affected Sane, since she accidentally hit herself in the face with a chair and seemed as though she suffered a concussion. Sane continued the match but it was obvious that she looked lost a number of times and the ending of the match looked as though it was completely on the fly. There was also a moment where Becky Lynch threw a monitor off the announce table and it hit Sane in the back of the head.
Sane sandbagged Charlotte when she went to powerbomb her through a table and then completely no-sold it afterward which made many fans believe that Kairi Sane couldn't have been at a hundred percent after that chair shot.
Bryan Alvarez of f4wonline.com reported that Sane was checked out backstage after the show and the belief is that she suffered a concussion.
