6 WWE TLC Statistics You Need To Know
5. Big Match, Big Names
TLC matches have launched several careers, evidenced
by the fact that three of the six participants from the first couple bouts would
go on to become world champions in WWE: Edge, Christian and Jeff Hardy.
Another 22 participants are former world heavyweight champions, bringing the total to 25 of the 31 wrestlers who have fought in a TLC match have held a world championship. Four wrestlers are WWE Hall of Famers: Edge, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and Jerry Lawler. That number will climb to 26 former world champs and five HOFers when Kurt Angle steps into the ring Sunday.
Edge has the most experience in TLC matches, having wrestled in seven of them. Jeff Hardy has competed in five, and Christian and Bubba Ray Dudley have entered four each, though Dean Ambrose and Kane are slated for their fourth on Sunday.
