It's fair to say that WWE TLC 2015 delivered more than many people expected. Anticipation going into the event was almost non-existent following weeks of lackluster creative work after the injury to Seth Rollins forced WWE to change their direction for the final months of the year. WWE managed to prove a lot of people wrong in Boston's TD Garden on Sunday, with a show that delivered thrills and surprises aplenty. The ppv opened with a tremendous triple threat tag team ladder match, featuring one of the most impressive spots of the year, and didn't let up until the brutal tables, ladders and chairs match finale featuring Roman Reigns and Sheamus. Splintered wood and mangled mental littered the arena as some of WWE's most violent match types were deployed for what the company calls its own version of a demolition derby. It's easy to be negative after a WWE pay-per-view show, but there was plenty to be positive about in the wake of TLC. As long as WWE manages to book consistently well in the next few weeks, the building blocks for the Road to WrestleMania have been established in convincing fashion.
