The Funhouse just got a lot more sinister.

Winners: The Revival

The Revival defeated three other tag teams - the Lucha House Party, Heavy Machinery, and the makeshift duo of Mustafa Ali and Shorty G to earn a title shot against the New Day at TLC. This was, in fairness to SmackDown, a very good match, and we can expect another one at the December pay per view.

The New Day will probably retain the tag team titles there, but this was a good use of the Revival. They've definitely turned their 2019 around after a humiliating start.


Loser: Lacey Evans

Once again, Lacey Evans just underwhelms when she's given a spotlight. Her act as a babyface is lukewarm at best and her match with a local jobber just didn't grab any kind of spotlight in the slightest.

This is as traditional a December filler feud as it gets, but it might yet last to the Royal Rumble, which I can tell would already be a painful experience. Everyone's just waiting for one of Sasha Banks or Bayley to turn on the other. Everything until then just feels irrelevant, but we should at least be able to expect a good match. We can't with Lacey.
