10 Last-Minute WWE TLC 2017 Rumours You Need To Know

10. Change Of Stipulation

Aditya Rangarajan of Sportskeeda believes that Roman Reigns' absence this weekend could force WWE into a last-minute stipulation change for the TLC main event.

It is suggested that, instead of a sudden death match, they will fight under elimination rules, giving the face side the chance to even the scales by taking out a couple of their opponents early doors.

Here's another possibility: The Shield, not exactly known for playing by the rule-book, could go as far as to attack one of their opponents backstage in the build-up, locking them away for the duration of the main event to give themselves a better chance of winning.

Of course, underhanded tactics of this kind shouldn't really sit well with Kurt Angle, who - lest we forget - is still supposed to be an impartial Monday Night Raw general manager as well as an honourary member of the depleted Hounds of Justice.
