Survivor Series isn't even in the books yet and WWE is already shaping the TLC card.

One of the marquee matches that is being rumored for the TLC PPV is between Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin and WWE officials want it to be a gimmick match.

As weird as it sounds, a Dog Collar match has been discussed backstage in addition to having a typical TLC encounter, as per Dave Meltzer.

WWE has also lined up two other matches for Tables, Ladders and Chairs that is scheduled to take place on December 15th.

Rusev vs. Bobby Lashley and The Kabuki Warriors vs. Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles are the other two matches that could feature on the TLC card.

The Women's tag team titles match is expected to have a traditional TLC stipulation.

"Besides Rusev vs. Lashley’s first major match, which right now is planned for a non-stip match, there will be a TLC match with Asuka & Kairi Sane defending the women’s tag titles against Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair and a Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin match. It will be a gimmick match but the gimmick has not been decided upon. It could be tables ladders or chairs, but dog collar match has also been up for consideration."

The Brian Kendrick took to Twitter to declare that he is going on an indefinite leave of absence from in-ring action.

The veteran Superstar referenced his Cruiserweight title win from three years ago and expressed his frustration over the lack of respect from the 205 Live roster.

Here's the tweet:

The former Cruiserweight Champion last wrestled on the 205 Live tapings on November 6th and lost to Mansoor. He returned to the WWE in 2014, and barring his Cruiserweight title reign, Kendrick hasn't tasted much success in the company during his second stint.

Is Kendrick injured? Is he done with WWE? Is this a red herring? We await more details.
