The current build of TLC hasn't been up to speed. Except for a few storylines, the WWE hasn't been able to hype up the fans for TLC.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
RAW and SmackDown Live's ratings are really low and fans are not tuning in to watch WWE. WWE has just one more week to hype up TLC and they need to it properly otherwise we can be sure many fans will not tune in to watch TLC.
With WrestleMania only months away, TLC will serve as a launching pad for its booking decisions in the future. '
TLC will definitely play a massive role in how the storylines will progress. Some decisions could even change the course of WWE programming for months.
TLC is one of the most extreme and entertaining pay per views of the year but this time it doesn't look like that WWE will be able to make TLC a successful event. So what can WWE do in order to make TLC a success?
In this article, I will list five shocking things that WWE should do to make TLC an excellent and a must watch pay per view.
#5 Finn Balor appears as the Demon King
Finn Balor has been currently getting some spotlight on RAW due to the fact that many of the top babyfaces on the Red Brand are out.
He is currently involved in a feud with Corbin and McIntyre and he is currently scheduled to face McIntyre at TLC.
Finn Balor has been struggling to gain momentum since his loss against Corbin on the night after Summerslam.
A win against McIntyre at TLC is the perfect way to gain back his credibility. But there is a very little chance that Balor will be able to defeat McIntyre as McIntyre is being heavily protected by the WWE since his debut.
Unfortunately for Balor, that likely means taking a loss at TLC. But if Balor appears as the Demon King he certainly will have a chance to defeat the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre.
And if Balor defeats McIntyre as the Demon King it will certainly lessen the impact of loss and will also help Balor to gain back his credibility.
#4 Bobby Roode and Chad Gable win the tag team titles
When the Authors of Pain became the tag team champions, I personally was really happy and thought that their reign as champions will help the tag team division of RAW but it has been a complete opposite.
It was thought they will have a dominant run with the tag team titles but it quickly got turned into joke fodder a few weeks later.
Drake Maverick, the manager of AOP, who was the laughing stock at first after pissing himself during a match is the main culprit behind making AOP look like a joke.
If WWE would have not separated AOP with their former manager Paul Ellering it could have been a completely different story and fans would have loved to see AOP as the tag champs.
As much as it hurts to give up on AOP so early in their current run as champions, it's obvious that they aren't going to be taken seriously and their credibility will be further damaged.
Bobby Roode and Chad Gable have so much more momentum than AOP right now and WWE should make a decision to make Roode and Gable the tag team champions.
Making Roode and Gable the champions will also set the stage to break up the team of Roode and Gable at a later stage.
#3 Dean Ambrose wins the Intercontinental Championship
The rivalry between Rollins and Ambrose is one of the rivalries that has been properly built up by the WWE. We can be a hundred percent sure that these two men will tear the house down when they will step foot in the ring at TLC.
Seth Rollins is the favourite to win the match at TLC and everyone in the WWE Universe wants The Architect to walk out of TLC as the Intercontinental Champion, but WWE can shock all the fans by making the 'Lunatic Fringe' the Intercontinental Champion.
This is the kind of shocking moment that WWE needs right now, especially with the current lacklustre storytelling. It would also be an excellent way to cement Ambrose as a formidable opponent.
It would shake the things up and will help Ambrose to establish himself as the top heel on Monday Night Raw.
Rollins credibility will not be hurt by this loss and the WWE can put Rollins in the Universal Title picture or continue the rivalry between Ambrose and Rollins till Royal Rumble.
#2 Have Ronda Rousey cost Charlotte and Becky Lynch the match
Let's be honest here.
The WWE Universe wants to see Asuka finally get her crowning moment and win the Smackdown Live Women's championship at TLC.
If the company decides to not put the title on Asuka the fans will likely be very angry and some might even give up on the product. So the WWE will likely want to play it safe and they can make Asuka the champ.
Interestingly, WWE has been teasing another encounter between Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey for some time now and while the company could achieve this in a variety of ways but the best way would be for Rousey to cost Lynch and Flair the championship.
It will also be the perfect way to make Asuka the champion without making Charlotte and Becky Lynch look weak.
The fans will be shocked to see Rousey interfere and it will also perfectly set up the rumored dream match between these women at Wrestlemania 35.
Whether the interference takes place or not, whether the championship changes hands or not, there is one thing that we can be sure about and that is this match will definitely tear the house down
#1 Have Heath Slater cost Baron Corbin his authority
On last week’s episode of RAW, we saw Baron Corbin use his authority. He set up a match between former SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater and Rhyno. The stipulation of the match was that the loser would be fired from RAW as the roster is overcrowded.
Heath Slater won the match by delivering a neck-breaker to Rhyno. After the match, Rhyno left the arena. We also found out that Slater’s role in the company was now as a referee rather than an active wrestler.
Slater will definitely want revenge as because of Corbin, Rhyno was fired from Raw. Slater could get his revenge at TLC as there is a possibility that during the match between Strowman and Corbin the referee gets knocked out and Slater comes out as his replacement.
Slater can then help Strowman to pick up a win against Corbin and ultimately stripping Corbin of his powers on Raw.
