WWE Backstage: 5 Takeaways from the December 10th episode

#3 Finn Balor and the panel relive Finn vs. Styles from TLC two years ago

Too Sweet at TLC

With the TLC PPV slated to end the 2019 cycle for WWE, the participant of one of the most memorable matches in that PPV's history, Finn Balor, looked back at his match with AJ Styles from two years ago.

As highlights from the match played, Balor felt that "the stars aligned and we got the match we have always been looking forward to and the fans have always been looking forward to." Since Styles filled in for an ill Bray Wyatt, Balor revealed that both men had "little prep going into match but we have similar styles and we gel together well."

After The Demon ended up victorious, the two men shared a moment of respect in the middle of the ring. The former Universal Champion revealed that the "Too Sweet" gesture wasn't planned but Styles talked him into it after they shook hands.

The match was truly a dream bout for everyone involved, and Balor said that "myself and AJ delivered that day. There was no storyline and no revenge to be sought, just two guys in the peak of their career giving everything they had."

The panel all agreed that the match was one of the best in WWE history and that sometimes the moments that come up due to last-minute changes can often make things more special. It happened with the NXT Invasion following Crown Jewel as well.
