The six-team TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Championships was a chaotic orgy of bodies flying every which way through tables and ladders after getting smacked with chairs.

Well, at least 10 of the 12 bodies were flying around the ring and ringside area. The Wyatt Sicks, the defending champs, took a couple of bumps in the opening moments, but after a table spot spree, Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis all but disappeared from the match, with the rest of the Wyatt Sicks running in to fill the space.

Meanwhile, the other five teams in the match bumped like crazy and carried TLC to its climax. Despite not being in the match, Candice LeRae might have taken more bumps than Gacy and Lumis combined.

It’s not that the Wyatts aren’t deserving, but fans seemingly would have been happy with any of the other five teams winning because they appeared to earn it, while the Wyatts emptied their bench to save their tag team, and then they showed up at the end to snatch the titles.
