WWE TLC 2017 has experienced some frenzied last-minute changes due to an outbreak of viral meningitis and we have a different match card than the one initial put out by the company. Here is the full official match card for the pay per view:

#1) Sasha Banks vs Alicia Fox (Singles match on the kickoff show)

#2) Kalisto (c) vs Enzo Amore (Singles match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

#3) Asuka vs Emma (Singles match)

#4) Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann vs Gentleman Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick (Tag team match)

#5) Alexa Bliss (c) vs Mickie James (Singles match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship)

#6) Finn Balor vs AJ Styles (Singles match)

#7) Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins vs The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, and Kane (3 on 5 Handicap TLC match)

Here are our official predictions for WWE TLC 2017:


#1) Sasha Banks vs Alicia Fox (Singles match on the kickoff show)

Sasha Banks and Alicia Fox go head to head in a weird kickoff show match with very little build up. Expect Banks to come out on top here.

Prediction: Sasha Banks wins.

#2) Kalisto (c) vs Enzo Amore (Singles match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

With Neville walking out on the WWE, it seems like the WWE's Cruiserweight Division will fall squarely on the shoulders of the annoying Enzo Amore.

We expect Kalisto's title reign to be a short one with Enzo making use of his new buddies on 205 Live to pick up the win.

Prediction: Enzo Amore wins to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

#3) Asuka vs Emma (Singles match)

WWE TLC 2017 will play host to the long-awaited main roster debut of Asuka as she takes on Emma. This should be a dominating win for The Empress of Tomorrow as she continues her unbeaten run.

Prediction: Asuka wins.

#4) Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann vs Gentleman Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick (Tag team match)

A tag team match that means nothing seems Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann team up to take on Gentleman Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick. This cruiserweight encounter should see the heels pick up the win.

Prediction: Gentleman Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick win.

#5) Alexa Bliss (c) vs Mickie James (Singles match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship)

While Alexa Bliss and Mickie James have been embroiled in a pretty heated feud in recent weeks, I don't think anybody is expecting this to be anything more than a placeholder program until Asuka sets her sights on the WWE Raw Women's Championship.

Little Miss Bliss should retain here.

Prediction: Alexa Bliss retains.

#6) Finn Balor vs AJ Styles (Singles match)

One of the biggest WWE dream matches is being given away without any build up as AJ Style has been drafted over from Smackdown Live to replace Bray Wyatt against Finn Balor.

It's really hard to call this one as both men are supremely gifted wrestlers who could use the victory. At the end of the day, Balor should win to keep his momentum going. This match has the potential to be a Match of the Year candidate.

Prediction: Finn Balor wins.

#7) Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins vs The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, and Kane (3 on 5 Handicap TLC match)

The Shield Reunion has been put on hold as Kurt Angle makes his in-ring WWE return in place of Roman Reigns. While The Shield were expected to pick up the win in the original encounter, it seems like that is going to change.

Expect the heels to go over. However, this is likely only because when "The Big Dog" does return, the reunited Shield will get their victory back.

Prediction: The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, and Kane win.
