10 HUGE WWE TLC 2020: Tables, Ladders & Chairs Predictions You Need To Know
WWE ends 2020 with a bang as panic booking awakens a Beast.
It has been a December to remember for WWE. No, hold on, that's not right, it just rhymes. It's been a December to forget-and-bury-so-deep-that-nobody-ever-talks-about-it-again for WWE.
Raw's ratings hit new all-time lows amidst a run as bad (if not worse) than some of the other particularly dour and dismal periods for the show in recent memory. The inescapably depressing sensation is made worse by the fact that Tables, Ladders and Chairs has looked decent since the second the Survivor Series finished.
For the last show of this rotten year, the company have put together quite a decent card, reminding what remains of their audience that they have the roster to do so. To spare, in fact. There are as many credible names off this card than on it, proving that WWE's warehousing philosophy pre-global health crisis wasn't entirely without merit. Unlike their television, which, as noted, has done little-to-nothing to add to some interesting match graphics.
Raw's been disastrous, SmackDown's fallen from the Payback-to-Survivor Series hot streak and wrestlers are only allowed to use three specific weapons to try and obscure creative malaise. Will they - as they often do - make it work anyway?
10. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt Vs. Randy Orton
Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt have gone and done it again.
In 2016 and against all the odds, their feud was one of the most captivating things across WWE television. Orton's infiltration of The Wyatt Family looked carefully plotted for a WrestleMania payoff, but by the time they got there - driven by a split that saw 'The Viper' burn Bray's house down after the whole thing had collapsed in on itself to the extent that projecting f*cking maggots onto the canvas in the middle of a tepid WWE Championship match was greeted with little more than confused indifference.
"Captivating" would be overstating the enthusiasm in the second attempt, but it got both men away from Drew McIntyre's title and there was clear interest in that distrubing moment that Orton got into The Fiend's head by making Alexa Bliss his captured Stockholm Syndrome valet. Before it was dropped cold.
On evidence of their prior work, he match won't be much, but, put simply, Wyatt needs the win more. He's f*cked, again. Time to pretend he's not, again.
Winner - "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
