There are some interesting stats fans need to know about TLC 2019

Historically, TLC hasn't been seen as one of the WWE's biggest pay-per-views, since it's the final event of the year and many fans are already looking forward to the build-up to The Royal Rumble.

That being said, the feud between The Miz and Bray Wyatt was enough to draw a number of fans to this year's event, whilst the card also boasted two TLC matches, a ladder match, and tables match. There were also a number of none stipulated cards and interestingly despite their recent push, there were no SmackDown women seen as part of the show.

It was a stacked show that contained some impressive outings from a number of stars and in wrestling it's all about those individual statistics, so here are some interesting ones that were created at WWE's final pay-per-view of the decade.


#4 Becky Lynch makes history

From back at The Royal Rumble up until last night at Tables, Ladders and Chairs it's hard to argue that 2019 wasn't the year of The Man. Becky Lynch is the current RAW Women's Champion, won the second annual Women's Royal Rumble, became the first woman on the cover of WWE2K and main evented WrestleMania.

It's been a fantastic year for the Women's Evolution and an even better year for the girl who wasn't even on the main card for last year's WrestleMania. Last night she made a little more history when she main evented the show since she is now the only female in WWE history to have main evented four pay-per-views in a calendar year.

Lynch main evented WrestleMania, Extreme Rules, Survivor Series and last night she lost in her match against the Women's Tag Team Champions in TLC's main event.

#3 Seth Rollins misses his first pay-per-view since February

Seth Rollins wasn't part of last night's TLC event despite the fact that 2019 has also been the year of The Architect. Rollins has won the Universal Championship twice this year by defeating Brock Lesnar at both WrestleMania and SummerSlam and has only missed two pay-per-views this year, with TLC being one of them.

Rollins missed Elimination Chamber back in February, just weeks after he won the Royal Rumble and secured himself a match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Rollins wasn't part of Elimination Chamber since he wasn't locked in a feud at the time, but The Shield reunited not long afterward.

Last night at TLC, Rollins was originally slated to face Kevin Owens since the duo has had a few issues as of late but Rollins broke his finger in a match against Erick Rowan recently which meant that he was unable to wrestle on RAW and WWE then pulled him from TLC as well.

Hopefully, the feud between The Authors of Pain, Seth Rollins, and Kevin Owens will be able to continue tonight on RAW instead.

#2 Becky Lynch has lost every TLC match since her debut

Becky Lynch is the current RAW Women's Champion but ahead of 2019, she wasn't taken seriously by WWE, which is why she still has some interesting stats surrounding her name.

Lynch first appeared on WWE's main roster back in 2015 and made her official debut in the summer, which lead to her first match at TLC later that year where she lost to Sasha Banks via submission on the kickoff show.

The following year, Becky Lynch lost to Alexa Bliss in a tables match after a lengthy feud that saw the return of Mickie James. TLC 2017 features three women's matches but Becky Lynch wasn't part of the show, but she did return to Tables Ladders and Chairs in 2018 when she faced Asuka and Charlotte Flair in the first-ever women's TLC match for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Ronda Rousey cost Lynch the win to feed up to their match and WrestleMania, which gave Asuka the SmackDown Women's Championship. Last night's loss to the Kabuki Warriors means that Lynch is still looking for her first victory at a TLC event.

#1 John Cena fails to wrestle on pay-per-view in 2019

The fact that John Cena wasn't part of the show last night meant that he had broken a 17-year record since he had wrestled as part of at least one pay-per-view a year since his debut in WWE.

Whilst Cena appeared at WrestleMania earlier this year, he was just part of a segment with Elias, he didn't wrestle on the show, which means that his record comes to an end. Cena himself knew about the record and brought it to the WWE Universe's attention on Instagram yesterday which began speculation that Cena could be the mystery opponent for The Viking Raiders.

Of course, this wasn't the case since their opponents were the only men to have beaten The Viking Raiders in WWE, The OC and they were unable to repeat their historic victory back at Crown Jewel last night at TLC.

John Cena's official WWE return date is currently unknown and interestingly the former World Champion doesn't have any reason to return to the company in the foreseeable future, especially now his streak has come to an end.
