Sunday’s TLC match is a rarity in that no titles are on the line. The vast majority of WWE TLC bouts have been contested over a championship.

Of the 18 TLC matches in WWE history, 16 have involved a championship. Of that, one was for a vacant World Heavyweight Championship and one unified the two world titles in 2013.

In five of those remaining 14 matches, the challenger has emerged victorious, becoming champion. So had a title been on the line here, the champ(s) would have the odds in their favor.

There will be no title switches this year. The only other non-title TLC matches? The 2012 bout featuring the Shield versus Team Hell No and Ryback, and Dean Ambrose versus Bray Wyatt in 2014.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
