There are a number of interesting statistics that the WWE Universe needs to know heading into the show so that they are fully prepared for any trivia that may take place as part of any pre-planned pay-per-view parties.

Even though TLC isn't considered to be a big enough pay-per-view for Brock Lesnar to appear on, there are still some huge statistics that every hardcore WWE fans should know heading into the show.


#5 Charlotte Flair could make history

One of the biggest talking points heading into this weekend's show is the fact that the women will be given the chance to make history once again. Charlotte Flair has been slotted into this TLC match and it's known to many of The WWE Universe now that The Queen could become an eight-time Women's Champion with a victory.

Flair would wipe WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus out of the record books with a victory and take over a record that has been held by Stratus for more than 12 years. Flair has been on the main roster for just three years and she has already been able to capture the three different Championships seven times. Flair is also a former NXT Womens' Champion, which means that she is already an eight-time Champion, although her NXT reign isn't recognized on the main roster.

Will Flair be given an extra reason to celebrate on Sunday night?

#4 Dean Ambrose equals record

Dean Ambrose has only been part of WWE's main roster since 2012, but the former World Champion will equal Kofi Kingston's record this weekend when he faces Seth Rollins in his seventh match as part of the yearly show, the most of any superstar.

Ambrose doesn't have the greatest win/loss record since he has won three and lost three of his past six matches, which include two main event matches. Ambrose has fought in four TLC matches over the past six years, a handicap match and two Championship matches, which have seen him prove himself as one of the most hardcore stars on the roster.

Ambrose vs Rollins on Sunday night won't be contested under TLC rules, but the match will put The Lunatic Fringe in the history books and sway his win/loss record into something that isn't even.

Daniel Bryan has recently become "The New Daniel Bryan" and is the reigning WWE Champion, a title that he will be forced to defend this weekend at TLC, against former Champion AJ Styles.

Daniel Bryan has had four matches at TLC in his career, one saw him lose a 3-on-1 Handicap match to The Wyatt Family, a six-man tag team match to The Shield and the others saw him successful retain two singles Championships.

Bryan has defended both the United States Championship and World Heavyweight Championships at TLC and remains undefeated in matches that surround a title, which means that the odds are definitely stacked in his favor this weekend when he puts his title on the line for the first time against someone who held the title for more than a year in AJ Styles.

#2 Becky Lynch is yet to win a match at TLC

Becky Lynch is considered to be an underdog in her match against Asuka and Charlotte this weekend since she hasn't seen in-ring action in over a month and the Champion doesn't have to be pinned to lose the title. There is also the added fact that she put herself in Ronda Rousey's crosshairs, which could become a huge problem.

Lynch doesn't even have a good record heading into the match since she has only had two matches as part of the show which began in 2015 when she was defeated by Sasha Banks and in 2016 when she was put through a table by Alexa Bliss. The Lasskicker will be hoping that she can turn this statistic around on Sunday night.

On the flip side of this, both Asuka and Charlotte are undefeated at TLC having both only had one match, and Charlotte's was for the Divas Championship back in 2015.

The women of WWE make history this Sunday night as they battle in the first ever Women's TLC match, but this isn't the first time that they have been able to make history over the years. TLC has always been one of the most brutal pay-per-views of the year and the women have been forced to step up their game each time.

Back in 2010, Natalya and Beth Phoenix teamed up to take on Layla and Michelle McCool in the first ever tag team Tables match, which was won by The Divas of Doom. Fast forward to 2016 and Nikki Bella and Carmella were given the rare opportunity to fight it out in a no-disqualification match which was won by Nikki Bella.

Alexa Bliss then took on Becky Lynch in the first ever women's singles Tables match on the same night, before WWE opted to allow Lynch to step into a TLC match this year instead.
