TLC 2019: 5 Things that should happen 

Tables, Ladders, and Chairs 2019 (WWE TLC 2019) is just a few days away, and the card is set to host some of the top Superstars in the industry. TLC is one of the most entertaining pay-per-views of the year, as it features unique matches and stipulations that make certain moments and rivalries all the more impactful.

The pay-per-view may not be hosting any of the top singles Championship matches, but we will see Universal Champion Bray Wyatt, RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, and several other top Superstars participate in matches at the pay-per-view.

In this article, we will look at 5 things that should happen at TLC 2019.

#5 Rusev vs. Bobby Lashley ends with Lana’s interference

A false finish could allow the rivalry to get the intensity it's missing

Rusev and Bobby Lashley have been involved in a rather puzzling storyline with Lana. We’ve seen Lana leave Rusev and pair up with Lashley instead throughout the past couple of months, and this story still hasn’t seen a single official match take place.

Last week, during Lana and Rusev’s “divorce” on RAW, Rusev and Lashley were involved in a heated brawl which led to Rusev slamming Lashley through a wooden table. Now the two men will meet for the first time in the ring one-on-one at TLC 2019. This match will be a Tables Match, which means that the first Superstar to go through a table will lose.

This is a good way to book the first official bout in a rivalry that will likely continue for the quite some time, as it means that the match can end due to a mistake or outside interference. In this case, the company should book Lana to play a major role in somehow making Lashley fall through a table, inadvertently causing Rusev to win the match. This will allow the story to boil further and give Rusev more bragging rights while an angry Bobby Lashley looks for revenge.

#4 Aleister Black suffers his first main roster loss

The heel needs to go one-up to allow this rivalry to continue

Aleister Black has become a force to be reckoned with on the main roster. Even though the Superstar has had a single major rivalry on the main roster against Cesaro, we have seen him compete against several wrestlers and is currently undefeated. It’s great to watch the former NXT Champion get such treatment on the Red Brand, but the company should look to hand Black his first singles loss on the main roster before its too late.

'The Dutch Destroyer' is a phenomenal athlete, but it has become a headache for the company to book Superstars as too strong, resulting in awkward finishes down the road.

Buddy Murphy has entered into a rivalry with Black recently, and even though the two men haven’t shared the ring on RAW yet, we know a match between these two will be nothing short of the gold standard. Keeping in mind that Murphy himself is a class performer, the company should book him to win the match against Black by the use of some heelish tactics. This will not only continue the storyline between these two, but will allow Murphy to get more heat from the WWE Universe while protecting Black from a clean loss.

#3 The Usos return to challenge The Viking Raiders

Bringing back The Usos could help give The Viking Raiders some competition

The Usos have been off television for quite some time and fans have been anticipating their return. Since they are currently assigned to the RAW brand, the WWE Universe cannot wait for them to come back and spice up the competition for The Viking Raiders.

The Viking Raiders are currently on a path of destruction, and have run through almost all the tag teams on RAW. Erik & Ivar are now the RAW Tag Team Champions and are struggling to find suitable competition on the Red Brand.

Last week, the two men sent out an open challenge to anyone in the back, and The Street Profits answered. The duo gave The Viking Raiders a great fight and came close to beating the RAW Tag Team Champions, but ultimately came up just short.

If The Viking Raiders plan to continue their open challenge at TLC 2019, it could give fans something to look forward to at the event. The company can surprise the WWE Universe by bringing back The Usos as heels to challenge The Viking Raiders. The surprise, coupled with The Usos’ reputation, will help make the event even grander, and could allow the returning duo a chance to win back some gold on RAW.

#2 Sheamus interferes in a match

Who will fall to Sheamus first?

Sheamus has been teasing a return to SmackDown for the past couple of weeks and has vowed to restore order on the Blue Brand. 'The Celtic Warrior' is a former World Heavyweight Champion and has nothing to prove before he makes it back to the top of the card.

With that in mind, TLC could prove to be a perfect stage for Sheamus’ return, as he could come out to interfere in some match, leading to a top feud for himself. With Roman Reigns set to take on King Corbin, we could watch him come out to attack one of the two Superstars in order to help the other win and start a new rivalry in the process.

On the other hand, he could even make an impact during Bray Wyatt’s match with The Miz, as The Fiend will be on leave for the battle.

There are many ways in which the company can bring back Sheamus to have a major impact on SmackDown, but TLC feels like the perfect platform for his return. Judging by his recent promos, it seems like Sheamus is looking to pick a fight with the top Superstars of SmackDown straight away, and he could do so during a match at TLC.

#1 Becky2Belts

'The Man' needs to be rewarded for her rise once again

At WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch defied all odds after she walked into a match against RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and went home with both belts.

Even though she lost the SmackDown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair shortly thereafter, she is still the RAW Women’s Champion. At TLC 2019, she will partner with her longtime friendly nemesis to take on The Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

The match will provide Lynch with the opportunity to end the year on a high, and the company should book her to do so considering her rise during the past year. Since Lynch is now the face of RAW, the company must bring back some more spotlight on her with the new year in sight. Alongside Charlotte Flair, 'The Man' should defeat Asuka and Kairi Sane for the Tag Team Championships, and walk out of the pay-per-view as Double Champion once again.

There is no questioning Lynch’s determination to succeed, and the company should once again reward her for her hard work in order to take her into the new year with the same level of hype she had heading into 2019.
