WWE TLC Could Include Some Seriously Controversial Finishes

WWE TLC is coming up this Sunday and there are some interesting matches on the card. Some of those storylines might result in much bigger angles down the line. Others might even branch off to create situations that help allow WrestleMania to become a reality next year.
Bryan Alvarez ran through the upcoming WWE TLC card on Wrestling Observer Live where he gave his insight on how WWE is likely to book the upcoming pay-per-view event. Some of his predictions might result in rather unhappy fans when all is said and done, but it could be essential to keep WWE’s plan going after everything had to be switched around following Roman Reigns’ hiatus.

“Here’s my predictions for TLC everybody after watching Raw last night. So the Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose match for the Intercontinental Title. I think there’s a pretty good chance Dean wins that belt. I think there’s a pretty good chance that happens. Why? Seth just won a TLC match last night.”
“I look at the way they book when I say these things here. Baron Corbin/ Braun Strowman. Everybody thinks that Braun Strowman is going to destroy Baron Corbin, Baron Corbin will be removed as the GM and Braun Strowman’s gonna get his championship match at the Royal Rumble.”
“Obviously it is going to be Braun vs Brock at the Royal Rumble. They don’t have to announce that on December 16th, okay? The Royal Rumble is not until another six weeks. What are you gonna do for six weeks of television if you’ve already built up Braun as champion?”
“I think one way or another Baron Corbin’s winning. Baron Corbin will become the permanent GM of Raw — so get ready everybody — and Braun Strowman’s gonna find some other way to get his championship match at the Royal Rumble over the next six weeks which of course, he will and he’ll still get his title match one way or another. That’s what I think it happening here.”

It was noted that WWE could always pull the plug on Baron Corbin as an authority figure because it hasn’t turned into the ratings draw that they had hoped. “But him losing in that TLC match and getting buried [on Raw], I just look at how they book and I don’t think that’s gonna happen.”
It was also said that Ronda Rousey should beat Nia Jax “I think it would be idiotic to do anything else,” Alvarez noted as he continued.

“Daniel Bryan beats AJ Styles. There was a reason they took the title off AJ — a lot of reasons actually — I think Daniel Bryan is gonna remain champ. Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Asuka in TLC I think is gonna be the main event closing the show and I think Asuka wins. I think Becky and Charlotte, neither of them are the champion. They both have to find out some way to get to Rousey.”
“Drew beats Finn, Elias beats Bobby Lashley — oh, it’s a ladder match, guitar on a pole — eh, Elias beats the guy, who cares? Doesn’t matter. The triple threat SmackDown match for the Tag Team Titles doesn’t matter, New Day, Usos, doesn’t matter. Natalya/ Ruby Riott in a tables match, I presume Natalya gets revenge. It’s WWE so they could just go with heat and Buddy Murphy/Cedric Alexander I presume Buddy Murphy wins.”

It was noted that so far we have eleven matches for the WWE TLC event with a possibility of another match added tonight. The one thing that could be especially controversial is if Asuka wins the SmackDown Women’s Title. Becky Lynch fans might not be okay with seeing The Man drop her title, even if it makes a match with Ronda Rousey a possibility.
Fans might also be very turned off to the idea of Dean Ambrose walking away with the IC Title, especially if the Roman Reigns references continue.
Only time will tell how WWE books this Sunday’s big pay-per-view, but according to Alvarez, he’s got things pretty much figured out.
