6. Predictable Outcomes
In the WhatCulture TLC Prediction feature, I got 4 out of 6 results correct. In truth I knew I was sticking my neck out somewhat on not picking AJ and the Wyatt family to win - I felt that they seemed too obvious. But WWE did go with what was obvious. This was a card that was boringly predictable. What was the point for example of having Big E take on Damien Sandow, when the whole world knew that there was now the new champ was going to lose. The same can be said of the Punk Shield match. It was just plainly predictable that Punk would overcome the odds and The Shield would lose their match by further cracks in their united front. WWE didn't take any risks with this card. Even the Orton title win was an ultra safe booking decision. There was no surprise factor. The show suffered as a result.
