9 WWE TLC Facts And Statistics You Need To Know

1. The Ladder Of Success

So, it comes down to this: Who is Mr. TLC? There are a couple guys who have found the winning formula when it comes to Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches. It€™s doubtful both would claim this as their specialty match, but they definitely can lay claim to having enormous success in these extreme contests. Most Wins: 5, Edge No one will probably ever top Edge in terms of overall success in TLC matches, winning five of his seven bouts. Edge defended a tag title and won one, won two World Heavyweight Championships and defended it successfully once. Sure, he lost a WHC in a TLC match, but his overall track record is stellar. It€™s worth noting that Edge also competed in six of the first seven TLC matches. Highest Winning Percentage, 2 or More Matches: 100% (3-for-3), CM Punk For whatever reason, Punk managed to always have his hand raised whenever he entered TLC. He defended his WWE Championship twice in a TLC match during his 434-day reign. He also won a World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy in a TLC match. Who knows if Punk had stayed with WWE, would he potentially have been booked in a TLC match this month? The only other wrestler with multiple TLC victories is Christian, coming in the first two TLC matches with his tag team partner, Edge. Those two TLC matches really raised the bar and kickstarted a new genre of matches in WWE. They also elevated the six wrestlers to huge stars at the tail end of the Attitude Era. Will this month€™s TLC match between Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose serve as a launching point for one or both of the two emerging superstars? Only one way to find out.
