WWE's final pay-per-view of 2019 rolled into Minneapolis, Minnesota last night and definitely delivered when it came to being the bookend for WWE's major events of the past decade.

There could have been a number of interesting swerves that WWE implemented as part of the show, including an Usos return, a new Fiend, or even a title change, but the company didn't give in to the pressure of the WWE Universe and instead put on a fantastic show off their own back.

Given how stacked last night's show was, there were a number of things that the WWE Universe may have missed, so here are three things that needed to be seen last night to bring the WWE Universe back up to speed.


#3. Jerry Lawler is hit with Aleister Black's jacket

The commentary desk is no longer a safe zone for the stars who narrate the action on WWE TV. Renee Young was accidentally kicked in the face when she returned to SmackDown on FOX a few weeks ago and last night it was Jerry Lawler's turn.

Buddy Murphy faced off against Aleister Black in one of the hotly anticipated matches of the night and the duo had a spot where Murphy picked up Black's new entrance jacket and was supposed to just throw it out of the ring.

Jerry Lawler was in his seat commentating when Murphy threw the jacket from the ring and it took Lawler out at ringside, so much so that Vic Joseph was forced to react to the fact that Murphy had launched a jacket straight at Lawler's face.

It seems that no one is safe in the ringside seats at a WWE live event, not even the stars who work for the company.

#2. Lana breaks kayfabe

Many fans don't tune in for the Kickoff Show to WWE's pay-per-views since most of the time the show is just more build-up to an event that the company has already been building to for weeks. However, TLC's Kickoff show was worth watching because Lana seemingly had a meltdown.

Lana and Bobby Lashley were interviewed ahead of the Tables Match between 'The Almighty' and Rusev at TLC and David Otunga decided to question Lana on whether or not she knew that she could be in legal trouble for the lies she had told about Rusev to obtain a restraining order and for the fact that she faked a pregnancy.

Lana didn't seem happy with this line of questioning and asked Otunga to concentrate on his own relationship issues, referencing the very real issues between Otunga and his ex-fiance Jennifer Hudson.

She then went after Charly Caruso and stated that she only had her job because Renee Young was promoted and that she was a worse version of Renee. Lana then threatened to "snatch her bald" before she went on a rant and WWE made the decision to cut her feed.

This led to a fan questioning about who would win in a match between Lana and Charly, which Charly Caruso responded to via Twitter.

#1. Becky Lynch looks after Kairi Sane

WWE made the controversial decision to book the women in the main event for the second consecutive pay-per-view, despite the backlash following the Survivor Series main event. Kairi Sane and Asuka were defending their Women's Tag Team Championships against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, but an accidental chair shot followed by a monitor to the back of the head meant that Kairi Sane had suffered a concussion, but still continued the match.

There was an awkward table spot at the mid-point of the match where Sane comes down on Charlotte and it's easy to see that Becky Lynch is talking to Kairi Sane and the former NXT Women's Champion is informing her that she's hurt. Lynch then informs the referee and after a shocking spear, followed by a powerbomb through a table, Lynch tells Charlotte.

For the rest of the match, Lynch repeatedly checks on Sane to make sure that she is OK and if you look closely, many of the shots she delivers to Sane until the final spot of the match are very light or barely even touch at all.
