While the major speculation is that Charlotte Flair will be returning at TLC to join Asuka, Peyton Royce could also be a possible partner for the RAW Women's Champion as she recently offered to be Asuka's partner on Twitter.

It is possible that with word getting out of a possible Charlotte Flair return, Royce and Asuka's social media exchange is merely to throw fans off. Here is what Peyton Royce had stated:

I know you need a tag team partner on Sunday. I know you know I can go. Sincerely, former Women’s Tag Team Champion.

How can this impact TLC?

There have been some reports suggesting that Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax will go over at TLC and will be feuding with The Riott Squad next. In this case, it is unlikely that Charlotte Flair will be brought back only to lose her return match against the Superstar that 'injured' her.

So it is possible that WWE is planning to have Asuka and Peyton Royce team up with each other at TLC.
