9 HUGE WWE TLC 2019: Tables, Ladders & Chairs Predictions You Need To Know
TLC...M Punk?
A mere three weeks separating Survivor Series and TLC hasn't half helped this year's festival of metal, blood and wood.
Unlike last year's rather bloated end-of-year event, much of the card reflects the lean turnaround time and a welcome lack of rush following all the Red Vs Blue Vs Black-and-Gold craic in November. The things that have made it to Minneapolis are fresh, if not all entirely exciting. And that's with plenty being left behind for the impending and fabled Road To WrestleMania.
Raw's big angle has featured Seth Rollins turning heel and linking arms with The Authors Of Pain to take out Kevin Owens, but none of them will feature. Falling just short of defeating Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, Rey Mysterio made the best of things by taking AJ Styles' United States strap one night later. Neither man nor any of their associates currently have anything to do here. Alexa Bliss received a huge pop upon returning to SmackDown, but her feud alongside Nikki Cross against Fire & Desire hasn't had a look in either.
As for what did make the card...
9. The New Day Vs. The Revival
A match devoid of build, the build will thus be void of discussion.
With news of Kofi Kingston's aborted post-WWE Championship loss storyline doing the rounds, it's easy to lose hope in the entire process let alone The New Day's place within it.
The same, sort of, can be said for The Revival too. Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson are again being talked about as ex-Superstars rather than current ones thanks to their contracts nearing ever closer to expiry and WWE's recent surprise kink for releasing talents. After a strange year of in-ring successes and creative failures, they still haven't really found where they fit on Raw or SmackDown and appear as though they never really will.
If AEW is calling, expect WWE to have them lay down as much as possible on the way out. And if they're not...expect WWE to have them lay down as much as possible because they can't make up their minds on them at all.
Winners - The New Day
