Well, this is like a 2000-era WCW pay-per-view in disguise.

TLC 2018 currently has 12 matches on the card, and five of them are gimmick bouts carrying some sort of stipulation.

It seems the Royal Rumble-WrestleMania sprint can't come soon enough for those in charge of writing this stuff. Between Raw being a boring mess over the past few months (aside from a few glints of hope from Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins) and the forgettable Survivor Series booking, there's not a lot to like in WWE right now.
