9 Things That Must Happen At WWE TLC 2017

8. ...And Start It With An Asuka Victory

Asuka vs. Emma must start the main show, and the match finish with Asuka’s arm being raised in victory. Whilst nothing in WWE is 100% predictable, this must be one of the most obvious matches in recent memory. If Asuka does not in this match, then something is very, very wrong with the booking on RAW.

The flagship show’s women’s division is in a bit of a hole right now. Sasha Banks and Bayley have regressed in popularity in 2017, and Alexa Bliss has been hit and miss as champion. Nia Jax still feels slightly uncooked (and may have even walked out of the company), meaning the roster has a lot of talent but little in the way of anchors.

You have to assume that Asuka is coming to RAW in order to be the top talent. At WWE TLC, Asuka must beat Emma and before moving on to another challenge, before eventually dethroning Alexa Bliss as WWE RAW Women’s Champion. It all books itself, surely?
