This Sunday WWE will present their TLC PPV hailing from San Jose California. The match card looks stacked, and some matches have extreme stipulations.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
Fans will witness the championship defences and the outcome for the future ownership of the Raw General Manager position. Nevertheless, what makes this PPV special?
TLC could be overlooked, considering it lacks big names such as; Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.
However, let's not get carried away, some of the matches are highly attractive, matches like; Drew McIntyre versus Finn Balor.
Ultimately the PPV affords entertainment for all avid wrestling fans regardless of their interest, (watch the video below). Let's explore the most lucrative outcomes.
Honourable mentions
Daniel Bryan retains
Daniel Bryan will defend his WWE Championship against AJ Styles at TLC, which will be interesting.
Firstly, it will improve their feud and add depth. Moreover, fans will become more invested in Bryan's new character.
Ultimately it is lucrative for Bryan to retain. Thus allowing Styles to progress elsewhere, perhaps to Raw.
Baron Corbin is victorious
Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin will face each other in a Ladder match. Both competitors have much to lose, should they fail to be victorious.
Firstly, Strowman will not receive a Universal Championship match. Secondly, Corbin will lose his General Manager position.
The outcome is unpredictable for this match. However, due to Strowman's positioning as a future champion, it is lucrative for Corbin to win. Strowman could receive a shot anytime in the future.
#4 R-Truth and Carmella are victorious
This year's Mixed Match Challenge (MMC) has included a plethora of talent. With names such as; AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Bayley, and Rusev.
However, two names have stood out. Both R-Truth and Carmella have been excellent together.
Although their initial pairing was uneasy, they have become an entertainment machine. Specifically, their comedic dance breaks, (watch the video below).
On SmackDown the former United States and Tag Team champion has performed immensely.
Just watch his matches with Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown. Moreover, Carmella had a solid run as SmackDown Women's champion.
Therefore, their pairing has been lucrative. So much so, that they have made it the finals of the MMC. At the TLC PPV, they face Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox. The winner earns the respective number thirty spots in the Royal Rumble.
The match at TLC 2018 is going to be exciting. Firstly, it will afford comedic value. Secondly, it will be interesting to see who snags the number thirty positions.
The reason Carmella and R-Truth deserve to win is simple. They are over with the crowd. Moreover, imagine shenanigans that could happen. R-Truth could accidentally enter the women's match, which would be hilarious.
#3 The Usos become SmackDown Tag Team champions
The SmackDown brand has afforded a plethora of memorable moments this year. However, the Tag Team division has lacked in this category.
There has not been much excitement. However, one team which has entertained fans continuously is; The Usos. Being the son's of legendary wrestler Rikishi, they have built their future legacy.
Throughout 2018 The Usos has been regularly involved with the tag team division. Ultimately, they have formed the basis.
Nevertheless, not since WrestleMania 34 have they been champions. Considering their excellent entertainment value now is the time for them to be crowned champions again.
On December 11th The Usos faced The Bar in a hilarious Rap Battle on SmackDown, (watch the video below), hosted by the New Day. At TLC 2018 all three teams face off for the tag team championships.
The reason The Usos should win is due to their character portrayal. In the ring or during promo segments, they are consistently entertaining.
Considering the quality of tag team wrestling in WWE, it has been poor. Therefore, The Usos winning would be lucrative.
#2 Asuka becomes SmackDown Live Women's Champion
At WrestleMania 34 Asuka walked into the ring undefeated. However, Charlotte Flair would make history, thus ending Asuka's streak.
To date, their match is routinely discussed and revered. However, it left fans wanting more. What could happen between Asuka and Charlotte?
On SmackDown Live the women's division has progressively improved. Since WrestleMania 34 there have been only two new champions, that being; Carmella and Becky Lynch.
At present, Lynch is parading as a heel champion, arguably the best in WWE at the moment. Considering Lynch's recent interactions with Charlotte, her chances of victory are slim at TLC.
With the addition of Asuka in the SmackDown Women's championship match, fans should expect immense drama.
Moreover, a continuation of previous stories involving all three. Simply put, Asuka must walk out champion, but why?
Ultimately, Asuka performs exponentially and has a fanbase. Moreover, with Asuka as champion, it has no impact on Lynch and Charlotte's future feud.
Or perhaps it could even lead to Lynch debuting on Raw to challenge Ronda Rousey. Something which has been brewing, (watch the video below).
#1 Dean Ambrose becomes Intercontinental Champion
The Shield was arguably one of the greatest factions in professional wrestling, rivaling Bullet Club and The Four Horsemen.
Nevertheless, all groups come to an end. The three members included; Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.
However, throughout their multiple tenures, each member has portrayed the group in some manner. No betrayal, however, matches that between Ambrose and Rollins.
On October 22nd Rollins and Ambrose captured the Raw Tag Team championship. However, Rollins was attacked shortly afterward by Ambrose.
In subsequent weeks Ambrose would continue his attack on Rollins. These antics led to Rollins admirable losing the championships to Authors of Pain on Raw. Over the last month, fans Ambrose revealed why he turned on Rollins, (watch the video below).
At TLC Ambrose challenges Rollins for the Intercontinental championship. Moreover, it is a chance for Rollins to seek revenge.
However, fans should expect immense drama. The reason Ambrose needs to win is highly relevant to the future. Ultimately it extends their story and adds depth. What could we expect?
