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

6. Buddy Murphy Vs. Cedric Alexander

Asuka Womens Title
WWE

Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy remains the powerful fulcrum of 205 Live despite clearly not being only 205lbs and the show being taped after a year of great change under the watchful eye of Triple H. He's knocked back all the major high profile challenges on the brand since claiming the strap in front of his countrymen at Super Show-Down, and now must see off the man he defeated there in order to permanently cement himself as the show's steward.

Underneath much-missed ex-Champion Neville, Alexander holds the record for longest time spent with the brand's belt but shouldn't really be positioned to claim it back here. The pair haven't even been given a stipulation to work with despite the show being almost entirely reliant on gimmicks elsewhere.

Buddy's done much to build up his credibility but fans will only back him as long as he continues to win. It isn't yet time for Murphy's Law to fall upon his own fate.

Winner - Buddy Murphy
