The final WWE pay-per-view of the year was a good one. Despite being a really long show with a lot of matches on it, TLC felt like a big deal for the majority of it. The stipulation matches made sense and were pretty solid, giving us some good action. Matches like Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre and The Bar vs The New Day vs The Usos were also good additions to this show. We got a decent payoff to an atrocious few weeks of Raw when an injured Braun Strowman enlisted the help of various babyface wrestlers to put away Baron Corbin. However, there was a disappointment as the Intercontinental Championship match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose turned out to be a flat and uninspiring bore-fest.

Nevertheless, the event had a lot more high points. The best match on the card was Daniel Bryan's successful WWE Championship defence against AJ Styles. The two master craftsmen showed just how good their art is in this match, with the finish being decisive enough on the night but leaving us wanting more. Ronda Rousey wrestled a fantastic match against Nia Jax, who got wiped out by Becky Lynch backstage after her defeat. The Man would defend her Smackdown Women's Championship in the main event of the show against Charlotte Flair and Asuka, in the first-ever women's TLC match. It was entertaining and brutal, with many innovative spots throughout. The finish came when Rousey interfered, tipping over a ladder with Becky and Charlotte on it, to allow Asuka to win the title and close 2018 on top. It was a great way to end the year and build intrigue for 2019.
