10 Last-Minute WWE TLC 2016 Rumors You Need To Know
1. Styles Retains
The TLC match between AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose looks to end their feud one and for all, and it's appreciated. Their program hasn't exactly set the world on fire, with James Ellsworth doing a lot of heavy lifting in terms of drumming up fan interest.
With that said, there's virtually zero chance that AJ Styles is going to lose the WWE World Championship at TLC. He's too good to drop the belt this unceremoniously - in all likelihood, he'll hold it until WrestleMania, or drop it in a huge Royal Rumble match to The Undertaker or John Cena. It doesn't hurt that Dean Ambrose was struggling toward the end of his own championship run, and that putting the belt back on him now would feel like a step backwards, storyline-wise.
So maybe Ellsworth will cost Ambrose the match, but probably not. Maybe Ambrose will attack Ellsworth afterwards. Maybe The Undertaker will challenge Styles. No matter what form the finish of the match and its aftermath takes, though, Styles is going to remain WWE World Champion.
