WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs will make history this weekend as it plays host to the first ever Women's TLC match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Asuka as the three women battle it out for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
This is the final pay-per-view of the year and the final outing ahead of next year's Royal Rumble, which means that the winner of this match likely won't be part of The Women's Royal Rumble in January.
Becky Lynch is seen as the hottest star in the company at present but has been sidelined for the past month, this weekend's TLC match will be the first time Lynch has stepped in the ring since November and it could be a rude awakening for the Women's Champion since there are no rules and plenty of weapons for her opponents to make use of.
#5 Becky Lynch retains her Women's Championship
Becky Lynch is a hot commodity in the WWE Women's Division and has reigned her division ever since Hell in a Cell when she became Women's Champion and was expected to face Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series but after Nia Jax delivered a legitimate punch to the face of Becky Lynch in the build-up to the show, Lynch was sidelined.
The Man has since been pushing this match forward over the past few weeks and has shown that she has what it takes to be a star. Lynch has never been part of a match this brutal and given the fact that the most recent report surrounding Lynch stated that she was yet to be cleared after her concussion and the fact that she sustained a nasal fracture.
Despite this, Lynch stated that she was ready for the fight and right now the issues between Asuka and Charlotte could work in her favor as they fight it out amongst themselves and Lynch could then pick up the scraps.
#4 Asuka becomes the new Women's Champion
Asuka was pushed to the main roster a few years back when she was still undefeated in her WWE career, she was then the winner of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble earlier this year. The former NXT Women's Champion saw her streak come to an end at WrestleMania when she took on Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Championship but came up short.
This feud has been rehashed over the past few weeks as Asuka and Charlotte have faced off numerous times and being able to pin the former seven-time Women's Champion would be the best revenge for Asuka on Sunday night. The Empress of Tomorrow is currently the favorite to walk out of San Jose with the Women's Championship this weekend.
Asuka has been on the main roster for the past year and this would be the first Championship that she has been able to pick up since her promotion.
#3 Charlotte makes history in San Jose
Charlotte Flair has been the face of the Women's Revolution over the past few years and in the process has been able to rack up some interesting records and now holds the record along with Trish Stratus as the most decorated Women's Champion in WWE history, after holding the title seven times.
If Charlotte is able to overcome the huge odds in this match then she could lift the title for a record eighth time in just three years. Charlotte is perhaps the most prepared for this match out of all the women involved since she has already been inside Hell in a Cell and she knows what awaits her when weapons are freely available.
Charlotte and Asuka have had their own issues over the years and it's highly likely that most of the storyline of this match will center around their feud and protect Becky Lynch
#2 No Contest
The rules of a Tables match are that Tables are the only weapons that can be used, whilst the rules of a Chairs match state that only a chair can be used as a weapon. This means that the only weapons that can be used in this match are Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, which begs the question as to why the build-up has centered around kendo sticks.
Of course, there is no disqualification in a triple threat match, so whether the women use weapons that aren't allowed or not, they won't be disqualified, but it could reach the point where the women take enough out of each other and the interference within the match leads to the match being seen as a no-contest since none of the women have the energy to climb the ladder and retrieve the title. This means that by default Lynch would retain and head into 2019 as the Champion on the blue brand.
#1 Ronda Rousey interferes in the match
TLC is the first time since the week before Survivor Series that Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Ronda Rousey are in the same arena. After what Charlotte did to the former UFC Champion at Survivor Series, it would make sense for Rousey to interfere and exact some revenge.
Rousey also has issues with Becky Lynch, who snuck up on her and locked in the armbar backstage when she was changing the week before the two women were set to collide at Survivor Series. Given the fact that Rousey is set to fight either Charlotte or Lynch at The Royal Rumble, there needs to be some build into next year and having Rousey interfere and cost both women the match so that Asuka then wins the title, would definitely add some hype to the upcoming shows.
