WWE TLC 2018: Every rumor you need to know

WWE TLC is almost here and despite poor ratings for television in recent weeks, WWE have booked one of the best TLC cards in recent memory. The card is pretty stacked and features some belters like the SmackDown Women's title match featuring Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Asuka, the rematch between Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles for the WWE Championship and also the IC title bout between former Shield-Brothers Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

A total of 6 title matches have been booked for WWE TLC this Sunday and there's also the WWE MMC finals.

The purpose of this article is to compile some more important and less ludicrous rumors flying around ahead of tomorrow's PPV. We take a deep dive and take a look at which rumors are more likely to take place and which ones are absolutely absurd.

#5 A big night for Elias

Is Elias set for a big win?

Bobby Lashley and Elias have been at each other's throats for weeks and matters came to a head earlier this week on RAW.

Elias is set for a massive match at WWE TLC when he faces Bobby Lashley. Following an attack by Lashley's mouthpiece Lio Rush following their match last week, the match has now been changed into a ladder match with Elias' guitar suspended above the ring.

Bobby Lashley's current heel run is going a lot better than his return as a babyface did but Lashley still can't seem to connect with a large section of the crowd. The ladder match will be a great opportunity for Lashley to show what he can do.

However, at this point, Elias is actually the favourite to win this match. If Elias does manage to get the win, it will definitely be one of the biggest of his career and will position the 'Drifter' very nicely as the road to WrestleMania begins in earnest.

#4 Tamina to interfere in Rousey vs Jax

Will Tamina interfere in the RAW Women's Championship match and cost Ronda Rousey?

Tamina could have a part to play as far as WWE TLC is concerned. Nia Jax's partner in crime will be at ringside for her title match against RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey. There's almost no chance that Tamina will find a way to involve herself in this match.

#3 A massive debut, literally

Will Lars Sullivan debut at TLC?

We first learned that Lars Sullivan has been called up to the main roster on the pre-show ahead of WWE Survivor Series last month. Since then, it's mostly been hype packages on both RAW and SmackDown for the monster from NXT.

At this point, Sullivan could move to either brand although moving to the blue brand would make more sense since RAW already has a fair share of big men on the roster. On SmackDown, Lars Sullivan would be one of the largest guys on their roster.

WWE have continued to tease an impending debut for Lars Sullivan in recent weeks and rumours suggest that he could make his debut as soon as WWE TLC. A PPV debut makes sense in the way that there would be more eyes on Lars and a chance for a bigger impact. Could Lars Sullivan debut at TLC? Sound off in the comments below.

#2 Multiple title changes

Will Becky Lynch lose her title at WWE TLC?

According to a report from Cageside Seats, we could see up to 3 title changes at WWE TLC. If true this may not come as a surprise as WWE have recently been battling low rating so a few title changes could be one of the ways WWE decided to shake up programming.

WWE have already announced that the CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon himself, will be appearing on the WWE RAW after TLC to "shake things up".

Going back to possible title changes, which titles could change hands at TLC? The three most likely seem to be the SmackDown Women's Championship with Asuka rumored to win, the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships and the Intercontinental Championship. As of now, Dean Ambrose seems to be the favourite to leave WWE TLC with the IC Championship gold strapped to his waist.

#1 Braun Strowman will be PRESENT backstage at TLC

Will Corbin vs Strowman take place at WWE TLC?

There's still no confirmation as to whether Braun Strowman vs acting RAW General Manager Baron Corbin will take place at WWE TLC. The future of RAW hangs in the balance in this match with Baron Corbin being named the permanent General Manager of Monday Night Raw if he wins the match.

Strowman underwent surgery last month on his elbow for bone spurs and was written off television after an attack from Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. The next week, Strowman appeared on RAW in a pre-recorded promo where he hinted that his elbow surgery may keep him out longer than expected.

Regardless of whether Strowman vs Corbin will take place, PWInsider is reporting that Braun Strowman will be physically present backstage at WWE TLC. WrestleVotes have reported that Strowman is very unlikely at this point to wrestle on Sunday.
