We are less than 48 hours away from the final pay-per-view of the year as WWE TLC 2020 will take place on December 20, 2020, live from the ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. As the name suggests, WWE TLC 2020 will see Superstars make use of tables, ladders, and chairs to inflict pain upon their opponents and win their matches.
As of the writing of this article, a total of six matches have been announced for WWE TLC 2020 with five of them being championship matches. With the recent decline in ratings and the rumors of WWE planning to bounce back, fans can expect some unexpected booking decisions to take place this Sunday.
Let's take a look at five bold predictions for WWE TLC 2020. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts and opinions on the same.
#5 Jimmy Uso returns at WWE TLC 2020 and joins hands with Roman Reigns
The Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be putting his title on the line this Sunday in a TLC match against Kevin Owens. The build-up to this match on Friday Night SmackDown has been exciting, and the WWE Universe is intrigued to find out to what limits will The Tribal Chief go to retain his title.
WWE TLC 2020 could see Jey Uso get involved in the mix, but Kevin Owens will likely come prepared to deal with him. However, will Roman Reigns have another trick up his sleeve to outsmart KO? It has been speculated that WWE might fully reform The Bloodline, this time as proper heels and that could start this Sunday with the return of Jimmy Uso.
Jimmy Uso has been out of action due to injury but was seen on WWE TV recently at WWE Hell in a Cell 2020 when he came out to save Jey Uso from the wrath of The Tribal Chief. At WWE TLC 2020, we might see a scenario where Kevin Owens is ganged up by Reigns and Jey Uso, only for Jimmy Uso to return. While it would appear that Jimmy Uso is out to help KO, he would go on to attack him and join hands with Roman Reigns.
After a valiant effort, Kevin Owens losing due to a three-on-one numbers advantage won't hurt his momentum. At the same time, a reformed heel Bloodline faction would be a force to deal with on SmackDown.
#4 Sister Abigail makes her presence felt at WWE TLC 2020
WWE has hyped up the fans by announcing a unique stipulation for the match between 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton at WWE TLC 2020. The two are set to compete in the first-ever Firefly Inferno match, a term that has left the fans wondering what exactly the match could be like.
Now, WWE and Bray Wyatt himself have brought up the segment in 2017 when Randy Orton invaded Wyatt's compound and burned it along with the grave of Sister Abigail. If the Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 is a cinematic match, the possibilities of storytelling are endless.
One massive shocker that could take place at WWE TLC 2020 in this match is the appearance of Sister Abigail in some manner to take revenge on Randy Orton for what he did to her nearly four years ago. While one way could be for Alexa Bliss to return as the reincarnation of Sister Abigail, a more surprising way could be for Bray Wyatt to bring back his 'Sister Abigail' persona that he debuted during his feud against Finn Balor ahead of their match at TLC 2017.
Fans never got to witness that match as Bray Wyatt caught flu and the Sister Abigail alter-ego never returned. But could Bray Wyatt bring it back at WWE TLC 2020 in the Firefly Inferno match?
#3 Charlotte Flair returns at WWE TLC 2020, turns on Asuka
One of the most anticipated matches at WWE TLC 2020 is the Women's Tag Team Championship match. The biggest reason for fans being interested in it is to find out the mystery partner of RAW Women's Champion Asuka to challenge Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax. It was Lana who was originally supposed to team-up with Asuka but she was injured at the hands of Baszler and Jax on RAW this past week, taking her out of the match.
Now, several names have been speculated to be Asuka's mystery partner at WWE TLC 2020 with many Superstars themselves teasing the same on social media. However, the biggest name that WWE could realistically bring back is Charlotte Flair. The record 12-time women's champion has been absent from WWE TV for nearly six months now and reports suggest that she might be returning soon. Can that happen this Sunday at WWE TLC 2020?
One thing is for sure that if Charlotte Flair is revealed to be Asuka's partner, fans would expect the two to walk out as the new tag team champions. However, an interesting twist in the tale would be for Flair to turn on Asuka at WWE TLC 2020 due to some mid-match misunderstanding. This could lead to her challenging Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship, a title that has been highly overlooked recently.
#2 Sheamus saves Drew McIntyre from MITB cash-in at WWE TLC 2020, only to turn on him
WWE TLC 2020 will witness a dream clash as Drew McIntyre will put his WWE Championship on the line against AJ Styles in a TLC match. While this is a singles match between these two, there are so many outside factors that could play an important role during this bout.
Things surely won't be easy for Drew McIntyre at WWE TLC 2020 as AJ Styles will have his bodyguard Omos by his side. If that's not enough, he will also have to look out for Mr. Money in the Bank The Miz, who would be keen to cash-in his contract and walk out as the new WWE Champion.
One man who can even-up the field to some extent for Drew McIntyre is Sheamus. However, this also makes it the perfect opportunity for Sheamus to turn on his friend at WWE TLC 2020. At the pay-per-view, we might see Sheamus save McIntyre from a cash-in attempt from The Miz. The twist in the tale could be that Sheamus turns on McIntyre afterward, setting up a match between the two at WWE Royal Rumble 2021.
#1 WWE announces huge plans for Royal Rumble 2021 at WWE TLC 2020
WWE TLC 2020 will be the final pay-per-view of the year for the company. The next big pay-per-view and the first one of the year will be the 2021 Royal Rumble. Being one of the most exciting WWE pay-per-views of the year, it is surprising how the exact date of WWE Royal Rumble 2021 has still not been officially confirmed.
There were several reports that Vince McMahon wanted to have live fans in some capacity at Royal Rumble, and one has to wonder whether the delay in announcement is due to WWE figuring out some huge plans. This Sunday at WWE TLC 2020, it would be a good time to officially announce Royal Rumble 2021.
To add to that, the company could also make some huge announcements for the upcoming pay-per-view at WWE TLC 2020. Be it Triple H appearing to reveal NXT's involvement at the show or Vince McMahon himself appearing to announce a huge first entrant in the Royal Rumble, someone like Brock Lesnar or Goldberg, it would get the fans excited for the pay-per-vi that will kick off the Road to WrestleMania 37.
