Ranking Every 2019 WWE PPV From Worst To Best

11. TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs

The Good: Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black made the most of a rare opportunity to shut up and wrestle, easily stealing the main portion of the pay-per-view without the help of any of the titular weapons and props. Some of the work in a New Day/Revival ladder match was outstanding, even if the rank meaningless of it all put a damper on the devilish bumps.

The Bad: The Kabuki Warriors' main event Tag Title victory over Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair was marred by an injury to Kairi Sane which itself appeared to marr several of the planned spots. The contest felt clunky and disjointed in spite of its moving parts on a show that needed a banger of a main event to transform an otherwise-ungainly evening.

The Ugly: Bray Wyatt and The Miz went six minutes in a confused calamity of a half-baked idea poorly fleshed out that played to silence. Immediately following that, Rusev lost in a revenge mission match against Bobby Lashley. Falling at first hurdles is death for a babyface, as WWE have persistently found at their peril with 'The Bulgarian Brute'. The Raw Tag Team Title match being reduced to a KFC advert wasn't the crime of the century, but it robbed a show in desperate need of a great match of something that might have approached it.
