WWE are hoping to use late match announcements for Tables, Ladders & Chairs to spike Network sign-ups, according to the Wrestling Observer.

The last pay-per-view of 2019 takes place on December 15th from Minneapolis Minnesota's Target Center and features Universal Champion Bray Wyatt on the poster, but as of writing on December 6th has yet to announce a single match.

According to Dave Meltzer's most recent Observer, WWE have studied previous subscription patterns and noticed that monthly subscriptions are highest on the day of the show and the company have elected to try and take advantage of this to boost numbers in their post-Pay-Per-view age. Those Kickoff panels may not be as pointless as they appear after all.
