12 HUGE WWE TLC 2018: Tables, Ladders & Chairs Predictions You Need To Know

11. Elias Vs. Bobby Lashley (Ladder Match)

Asuka Womens Title
WWE

Elias was the first victim of Bobby Lashley’s post-WrestleMania return, but the former ECW Champion has since suffered far more than the strumming, plucking, Scrooge McDucking NXT success story.

‘The All Mighty’s heel turn did nothing to rehabilitate a career only on life support thanks to ringside irritant Lio Rush, whilst Elias’ babyface switch in kind has just about kept him relevant despite lines that have lost an acidic bite in favour of John Cena-esque absurdity.

And that’s before reviewing the clash itself. This pair of f*cking idiots - because it’s TLC and they have to - will fight to claim a guitar hanging from the ceiling that they can then use as a weapon. This despite the fact that the very ladder they’ll need will proffer far superior acts of violence.

Expect Lio Rush to run up Elias’ back or something just to claim the acoustic equaliser first, then take the kabong himself to free up Lashley to steal something resembling a “win”. He needs far more than just this one to get him ready for a crucial 2019.

Winner - Bobby Lashley
