*Spoilers* If you don't want to know the results from the TLC PPV then look away now*Spoilers*
After the TLC PPV I was amazed when I thought about who the current champions were in WWE.
WWE Champion: CM Punk
World Champion: Daniel Bryan
Intercontinental Champion: Cody Rhodes
United States Champion: Zack Ryder
Tag Team Champions: Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne
All of these wrestlers are relatively new to WWE and aren't what you would consider veterans of WWE. It is refreshing to see so many new faces as champions and hopefully WWE have now realised that they need to create more stars and so are giving these other wrestlers a chance at showing what they can do. The veterans certainly have their place in the product but mainly to help create new stars and be credible opponents for these rising stars.
If someone had told me 12 months ago that these guys would hold the titles to close out the year I wouldn't have believed them and to think that they are all champion at the same time. The most experienced WWE guy would be Rhodes or Punk and that is insane because WWE normally want to keep the title on someone like a Cena or Orton.
Add to this that Cena wasn't even on the TLC PPV and maybe WWE are turning the corner. It is too early to say but it is a promising start.
Punk, as always, summed it up perfectly on Twitter after the PPV:

Punk, as always, summed it up perfectly on Twitter after the PPV:
"Very proud right now. Proud of @WWEDanielBryan proud of@ZackRyder proud of my crew of young, talented hard workers.@findevan @TrueKofi and a ton of others. Tonight was a great step toward the future of the wrestling business. That change I've been talking about? Started."
