There is only one stop on the road to WWE TLC 2019, which is the final pay-per-view of the year, and one can say that WWE RAW has done a commendable job in terms of building interest for the pay-per-view. Vince McMahon turned Seth Rollins heel and aligned him with The AoP, in a move that's had the wrestling community buzzing across the world
Sure, I know that the three men are not advertised to be a part of WWE TLC 2019, but the very fact that something so newsworthy has happened will definitely ignite fan interest in the product. With that in mind, let me list some surprises that can happen on the go-home show for the Blue Brand, that can have the same impact!
Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what surprises you'd potentially like to see unfold. Also, voice your opinions on the surprises that I've mentioned!
With that in mind, here are 5 surprises that could happen on the go-home show before WWE TLC.
#5 Daniel Bryan emerges from beneath the ring, pulls The Miz down!
Two weeks ago, we saw The Fiend emerge from beneath the ring and drag Daniel Bryan all the way to hell. And the following week, Bryan did not show up, making people wonder what was up with him, as The Miz stepped up to the plate, to face Bray Wyatt in his non-Fiend avatar. Could Bryan emerge from beneath the ring this week, to take The Miz down to the hellish depths?
Daniel Bryan has been Bray Wyatt's minion in the past, and once again, he could become a brainwashed member of the Wyatt Family. We know that Daniel Bryan loves to tell stories, and I'm certain that he can thrive in such a role for sure!
#4 Sheamus returns as Corbin's ally
Not long ago, we discovered that King Corbin would lead a faction that consists of Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in WWE. But even more recently, we also learned that Robert Roode had been suspended because of a wellness policy violation.
So, for the last few weeks, we've also seen vignettes announcing the big return of Sheamus to WWE, and while it would make all the sense in the world for him to return as a solo act, he may just thrive as a member of King Corbin's faction. And the reason for this is that as good as Sheamus is as a performer, he doesn't have the same kind of equity that he once used to, and has almost slipped into the role of a tag team Superstar.
Plus, WWE may have needed both Ziggler and Roode to tell the story that they were going to tell at TLC, and with one individual gone, Roman Reigns wouldn't necessarily be in the 'fighting all the odds' situation that WWE presumably may want to portray.
#3 Shinsuke Nakamura is upset with Sami Zayn
We all know that every move that WWE makes is to tell stories that connect with fans and get them invested in the matches that ensue. There was no reason at all for Sami Zayn and Mojo Rawley to come together as a team, maybe except for the fact that it would make Shinsuke Nakamura upset.
We all know that Sami Zayn, as good a manager as he is, is also one of the best professional wrestlers in the world and when the time is right, his talents will be better utilized in the ring. The best feud for him at this point could be one with the WWE Intercontinental Champion- Shinsuke Nakamura.
So, maybe the first cracks begin showing this week when Shinsuke Nakamura expresses his disappointment with Sami Zayn for sharing his talents with yet another member of the WWE locker room. Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura is a feud that could certainly give us some very good matches and the possibility of turning Nakamura babyface could begin this week.
Maybe Sami Zayn becomes the WWE Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania next year, after a fantastic match with Shinsuke Nakamura.
#2 Lacey Evans finds a new partner
While the match has not been made official yet, we all know that Bayley's next opponent for the SmackDown Women's Championship will be a certain individual named Lacey Evans. Evans has grown by leaps and bounds since she arrived at RAW and SmackDown from NXT but the fact of the matter is that even she cannot take on two opponents at the same time and will need backup. This is where Carmella could certainly step in!
Carmella was incredibly over when she was aligned with R-Truth and ever since the pairing was broken up, she's hardly been doing anything at all. It may make sense to bring her back and have her take on the heel duo of Sasha Banks and Bayley, providing some backup for Lacey Evans. As Carmella has proved in the past, she can do wonders both as a babyface and a heel, and this time, she could get the push that she has always deserved.
Even if Lacey Evans does not become the SmackDown Women's Champion, the duo of Lacey Evans and Carmella could certainly take Kairi Sane and Asuka on, for the titles. Or Charlotte and Becky, based on who wins.
#1 Brand new ladder match added to the card
A lot of people assume that a ladder match can only happen if a title is hanging from the top, but I think that the notion is absolutely false. What if Vince McMahon decides to have a guitar hanging from the ceiling and Elias takes on Drake Maverick with Dana Brooke in his corner so that he can win in a big way and ascend up the ranks in WWE?
With all due respect to Drake Maverick, I do believe that there's a lot more equity when it comes to Elias right now than the former 205 Live General Manager, and I'm certain that WWE's top brass feels the same way. Elias has always been a featured performer but has been little more than a comedy act, which is why he needs to be portrayed in a strong manner to be taken seriously.
That can certainly happen, if he were to win a ladder match, grab his guitar and bash Drake Maverick's head in, at TLC! This match could certainly be set up on SmackDown this week.
Is it something you would potentially like to see?
