TLC Which Matches will be on the TLC PPV card?

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Figured I'd create this while it's still early and there's only two matches currently on the card..

With the way things appear to be heading for the WWE going into the Tables, Ladders and Chairs PPV which matches other than the two that have been announced will be present on the matchcard?

One match I would personally like to see myself would be Orton vs. Rollins.. other than that I'm still reeling with a couple ideas but I think I need to wait til next RAW before I throw those out.

- Wyatt vs Ambrose - TLC Match (confirmed)
- Ryback vs Kane was announced to be a chais match, I believe.
- I'm expecting Ziggler vs Harper. It has to happen.
- The Miz & Mizdow vs The Usos/Gold & Stardust. Those are the only teams that come to mind for a rematch. I actually see The Ascension debuting at the very PPV, but we'll see.
- Rowan vs Big Show
- Rusev vs Sheamus (if he somehow manages to recover) or Swagger, Cesaro (maybe)

 

[The GOAT]

Ambrose vs Wyatt and Ryback vs Kane have already been signed.

Big Show vs Rowan has been hinted at.

Rusev vs Swagger is pretty obvious now after seeing that segment on Raw. Makes sense too, seeing as how Swagger is an All-American, Rusev has the UNITED STATES Championship, and we're pretty close to the Tribute To The Troops show whee the two will probably square off a non-title match as well. Guess I wouldn't mind one more match between the two.

Seth Rollins being forced to put his briefcase on the line in a ladder match is the obvious way to go, but since Ziggler is looking to reclaim his Intercontinental Title from Luke Harper, that leaves only Cena as his potential opponent. And Cena gunning for the briefcase makes zero sense given he's already the #1 contender for the WWE Championship. Maybe the Anonymous General Manager will be a bitch and inform Cena that now that The Authority has been stripped of all power, any and all rules that were put in place by them are now null and void, which means Cena's #1 contendership for the title is now gone. In that case, I guess Cena and Rollins can fight for the case, but I can't see them having Cena beat Rollins to get the briefcase. There was a report a few weeks ago that said there was some slight consideration into having someone else fight Brock at the Rumble. If they go that way, maybe this is their way of taking Cena's title shot away from him.

Elsewhere, Nikki vs AJ for the Diva's Championship, Mizdow vs Dust Brothers for the Tag Team Championships, etc.

 

[Prince Bálor]

I'm gonna be pissed if Cena, of all people, wins the briefcase from Rollins. I mean he ruined and buried Sandow last year when he won the briefcase and didn't cash in successfully on Cena. (Shocker)

Orton vs Rollins is a better way to go... With Rollins winning, of course!

Cena vs Lesnar needs to happen at TLC or RR, to finally end that chapter. Nobody wants to see these two going at it anymore.

In my opinion, Rollins shouldn't be losing the MITB briefcase to anyone. If he were to lose it to somebody, it should be Ambrose and Ambrose only.

I'm not sure Ziggler will go after the IC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Ziggler had his rematch already? I think I remember watching it (or maybe read it in some spoiler somewhere). Plus, it seems like they're bent on pushing him now, which is probably a good indicator that he's not going to have anything more to do with the IC. Which would also explain why he dropped it before SS to begin with.

Yeah, correct. He had it on SmackDown and won via count-out.

I dunno why I thought he'd go after the IC title again at TLC, my bad. Guess I'm still in shock Ziggler's gonna get pushed. lol
I just can't put my finger on on who he'll be going against. Maybe against Rollins, but we'll see. It's too early to tell at this point.

Ziggler vs Harper followed by Anon gm announcing a 2nd match for Ziggler, with Cesaro being in the match also for the briefcase...Rollins wins via cheap pin.
Show vs Rowan
Rusev vs Swagger
Kane vs Ryback.
Big E and Kofi winning the belts vs Mizdow
Pre-show Dust bros vs Usos
Divas match no one cares about
Wyatt vs Ambrose w/ Ascention intro
Heyman Promo
HHH Promo with another Sting run-in, with the MITB match ending the show.

Now that I think of it, there's no need to throw Ziggler back in the IC title rematch at TLC, he already had it on this week's SmackDown epiosde and won via count-out (which doesn't really count, so fuck it, moving on). If this ME push is bound to happen, then they'd better put him in the ME spot with Rollins/Orton for the MITB briefcase.

Yeah, I have totally forgotten that Big E and Kofi might as well win the belts from Miz and Mizdow. Which is fine by me, 'cause Mizdow is gonna get pushed!

I'm glad we have the same feeling about Wyatt vs Ambrose with The Ascension debuting and screwing Ambrose out of the victory. That's what I thought it was gonna happen at Survivor Series, actually. But, we still may see it happen at TLC.

As far as Heyman and HHH promos go, I see them happening the next night on RAW.

Nah, I get your point. We're programmed to assume random rematches for boring midcard feuds on every PPV (not that this is the case for this program but it's normally the case for the IC and Ziggler), but yeah, this time they did it a bit different. I have no idea what they're going to do for the PPV with Dolph, really, maybe he'll wrestle Rollins, but there's Orton around as well... idk.

Yeah, Orton's actually rumored to be in a three-way TLC match against Rollins and Cena, that's only if Cena vs Brock doesn't happen at TLC... Which I have a feeling it won't, and we're prolly gonna get Rollins vs Orton vs Cena (for the MITB briefcase, most likely). I'd love it if they put Ziggler in there, too, tbh.

 

[Aids Johnson]

What a waste of an Orton return if true.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Well, it makes sense, 'cause it's exactly where he left off. He has to stick it to Rollins.

So, here's to hoping Cena vs Lesnar happens at TLC, and we get Orton vs Lesnar at the Rumble.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Lesnar has the belt for sure until WM. Here is to hoping Orton has a big return at the RR and faces Rollins at WM, since WWE cut the middle ppv for who the fuck knows what.

Ziggler for that briefcase and a cash in on the RAW after WM. Could you imagine? Oh, wait. >>>>>>>This.

I'm still thinking Orton's gonna return by/at TLC. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back this Monday on RAW.

WWE cutting the Elimination Chamber hasn't been officially confirmed, I believe. They may as well cut it and replace it with a shitty PPV called Fast Lane/Fast Track, or they could just leave a gap between the Royal Rumble and WM31 and have a longer build-up before everything culminates at Mania, which is a far better option, in my opinion.

Ziggler going at it with Rollins for the briefcase is a plausible scenario. As much as I like Ziggler, I'd hate to see Seth lose that briefcase, Rollins shouldn't be losing the MITB briefcase at all. If he were to lose it to somebody, it should be Ambrose and Ambrose only.
Speaking of cash-ins, I'd absolutely love it if Rollins cashed in on the new champ at WM31.

 

[The GOAT]

Ziggler already getting his rematch on Smackdown doesn't mean he can't very well be given another one. This is WWE, it's not like their rules have any absolute value to them. Guys have gotten more than one rematch before when they shouldn't have, and guys have also not been given a rematch at all when they should have been, etc. If they decide to continue the rivalry between Ziggler and Harper, they can easily just give Ziggler another shot for no other reason than because he's feuding with Harper.

Unless Lesnar shows up and defends the title against Cena, I don't know who else Cena can wrestle except for Seth Rollins. Big Shoe WAS an obvious candidate, but he doesn't seem to have any issues with him over what happened at Survivor Series. And in that case, I don't know who else Dolph can compete against except for another match with Luke Harper. I though Harper might defend the strap against Rowan, but that match seems out now that Rowan and Big Show have some tension with each other.
