10 WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2019 Impulse Reactions
10. Humberto Carrillo Vs. Andrade
Well, yes, if everything had met the standard set by the pre-show.
Andrade and Zelina Vega's clashing is a new and unwelcome development for the former's character - his entire WWE career was saved by this pairing in NXT and there's an uneasy sense about things going entirely in reverse for him if and when the duo are severed again. The man's an in-ring banger factory, but as the very placement of this latest one proved, he's can't place them anywhere interesting without a persona to latch on to.
Carrillo and Andrade rocked a half-empty Minneapolis Target Center with the 12:45 they were allocated, following on from a similarly sexy sprint on last week's Monday Night Raw, but the second verse was largely the same as the first. Neither man gained any significant control until Andrade and Vega's miscommunication made a difference. The former was rattled by nearly striking the latter which fed into the finish that saw him pancaked by a poisoned 'rana and a beautiful moonsault.
All stirring stuff then, even if both winner and loser appeared to be heading away from the spotlight rather than towards it.
