WWE is closing out 2015 with a PPV that is missing a lot of star power. Randy Orton, Cesaro, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan all are out with injuries. John Cena is out filming a program. Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, Kane and Sting all are wrestlers who have been featured in prominent bouts in recent months but are only part-timers, none of whom are slated to appear at TLC. So on paper, this is a pretty lackluster PPV when compared to others this year. And it begs the question: Will any of the superstars listed above return at TLC? Could Cena show up to kickstart a feud? Could Taker appear at his sixth PPV of the year? Or could WWE decide to call up some talent from NXT to replenish a depleted roster? There certainly is no shortage of talented wrestlers in developmental, and that is the point of a developmental system anyway to prepare wrestlers to step up to the main roster as needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwmlHff0mqE Its not looking like this is going to be a groundbreaking PPV on its own, so TLC could be in need of a surprise return or debut. Well find out Sunday night if that comes to fruition.
