WWE TLC 2018: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. At Least Two Matches Are Bumped To The Kickoff

12 matches. Twelve.

That's a handful too many for a pay-per-view WWE blatantly just want to get through ASAP, and it means a couple are gonna' have to happen on the Kickoff pre-show. The top candidates are Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio in the lame-duck Chairs Match and possibly even the Tables affair between Ruby Riott and Natalya.

For those keeping score, that's two gimmick matches that don't serve much purpose. Unfortunately for them, they're some of the least interesting on the show, and so they must be bumped to ensure everyone else has proper time for their segments. That is, unless, WWE decide to add yet another match on the Kickoff.

New Raw Tag Champs Bobby Roode and Chad Gable don't have a match, for example. They wouldn't, would they? TLC is stacked enough without adding more to it, and it makes sense to believe at least two bouts will happen in between the oodles of hype packages during that preview hour.
