Someone else needs a bit of consistency too.

That "someone" is Bray Wyatt. Specifically, his offshoot 'Fiend' gimmick could do with looking like an actual threat instead of some toothless boogeyman that Bray busts out for pay-per-views. There is certainly no need for him to lose here at TLC - not if WWE want Wyatt to do anything worthwhile in 2021.

He and Alexa Bliss clearly have chemistry together, and it's worth persevering with the idea that Alexa is bringing out the best in Bray's monster. Randy Orton, meanwhile, has been around long enough that he can look good even in defeat, and he doesn't need to pick up a 'W' on Sunday.

Wyatt should bag a strong win with the Mandible Claw after 10 minutes of creepy brawling. That'd go some way to exorcising the demons of 2019-2020 (Hell In A Cell and that Goldberg match in Saudi Arabia) that still haunt him. He's too interesting a character to repeatedly feed off creative scraps.
