10 Things That Must Happen Before WrestleMania 34
10. TLC Goes Back To Its Roots
Though WWE’s PG status has largely diminished their high-risk match stipulations over the past few years, TLC remains one of their signature gimmicks. It’s been a long, long time since we’ve seen a traditional tag team Tables, Ladders, and Chairs bout, however, and it’s time WWE considered restoring the match’s lustre by returning to its roots.
The first two TLC bouts saw Edge & Christian, the Hardy Boyz, and the Dudley Boyz do battle in a set of instant classics. With Matt and Jeff back in the fold, booking them in a nostalgic TLC throwback makes all the sense in the world, and highly athletic teams like American Alpha, The Usos, and The New Day would make ideal E&C/Dudleyz substitutes.
WrestleMania 33’s ladder match proved that the Hardys are still happy to put their bodies on the line for the sport, and that Jeff remains a complete and utter lunatic. While they’ll inevitably slow down over the coming years, booking them in the match they helped popularise would not only provide a huge highlight later this year, but help restore the stipulation’s declining reputation.
