8 Big Questions That Need Answering At WWE TLC 2014
4. Will Ambrose And Wyatt Create A Legacy?
During his podcast interview with Stone Cold Steve Austin, WWE chairman Vince McMahon criticized many of todays wrestlers for lacking ambition, but he singled out a few performers who have it, including Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt. It should be no shock then that they are locking up in WWEs signature match for the TLC pay-per-view. Ambrose and Wyatt are two more bright spots for WWE as the company heads into 2015. Despite some questionable booking in 2014, both are poised to play major roles next year. Will the two stars, who shined as part of their respective trios and have engaged in a notable battle of words and mindgames, look to close out 2014 with a career-defining match at TLC? Ambrose and Wyatt could have a moment where they tear down house with a standout match that earns the fans respect of both men and puts them both on the path to superstardom. Think of the Hardys versus Edge & Christian in their 1999 ladder match. Does anyone really remember who won, or more importantly, does it matter? That match put both teams on the map, and a knockout performance Sunday could cement Ambrose and Wyatt as big-time players in the fans eyes.
