Ranking EVERY 2020 WWE Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best

8. TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs

Randy Orton Bray Wyatt Fiend
WWE

The Good: The titular clashes for the WWE and Universal Championships were genuinely excellent, tense struggles between well-defined heels and babyfaces. The more rudimentary that description is, the more impressive it is WWE managed to achieve it. Despite both battles being rematches from television originals, clashes between Sasha Banks and Carmella and The New Day and the Hurt Business were both excellent. Tremendous professional wrestling in a less-than-tremendous professional wrestling company.

The Bad: After a lot of conjecture, The Miz' Money In The Back cash-in was wasted, capping off quite a miserable year for the briefcases in general. A major rethink is needed in 2020. As exciting as Charlotte Flair's return was, the failure to pay off the Lana/Nia Jax story here was criminal.

The Ugly: Some loved Randy Orton setting The Fiend ablaze, but some people should just watch a few more films. Bray Wyatt's dark side was able to generate fire in The ThunderDome but not beat a mere mortal working in his tracksuit. Again. Big daft stunts look worse against the backdrop of a good wrestling show too, and that's precisely what this was.
