Predicting Every WWE PPV 2017 Main Event After WrestleMania
2. TLC: Tables, Ladders And Chairs - AJ Styles Vs The Miz
Utterly appalled that The Miz has taken advantage of his decision to offer a rematch by cheating anyway, Bryan immediately awards AJ a rematch. But to make the rematch feel definitive (a la Miz vs Ziggler), he says that it will be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at TLC.
Miz is terrified, and spends the preceding weeks avoiding AJ at all costs, who would like to give his rival a jolly good seeing to. Bryan’s decision is commendable, but it ultimately does nothing for AJ, as the match’s No DQ stipulation means Maryse can interfere at will. She does exactly that, pushing AJ off a ladder and through a table, allowing Miz to climb up and retain his belt.
This gives fans a strong heel champ to root against heading into the Royal Rumble, and opens up a lot of new feuds for the WWE Championship that can begin on the Road to WrestleMania.
