WWE TLC will host two Tables, Ladders and Chairs match each from Raw and Smackdown Live. Both the matches have the possibility to become the main event of the night. The one from the flagship show might go down last on the match card in the end. There are high stakes attached to this one match that could change the landscape of the show.
Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin is the lineup in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. Strowman will face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble 2019 if he wins this match. Or else, Corbin will become the permanent General Manager of WWE RAW if he manages to defeat Strowman. So a lot depends on this matchup at WWE TLC.
Currently, this match is in jeopardy considering that Braun Strowman is still not over with his post-surgery situation. He received less than three weeks to recover from the shattered elbow condition. So we can’t officially say whether the match will happen on tomorrow night. But even if it takes place, there’re fewer chances for the fans to be happy.
Braun Strowman will end up losing the match, going by the reports of Wrestling Observer. Bryan Alvarez from the source gave updates that Baron Corbin is going to win this match and become the permanent General Manager of RAW. This will happen just to drag the storyline angle between the two concerned superstars until the Royal Rumble PPV.

“This is so because WWE has 6 weeks between TLC 2018 and Royal Rumble 2019 PPV. If Strowman defeats Corbin, then WWE is going to have difficulty in coming up with 6 weeks worth of content for Strowman because Universal Champion Brock Lesnar won’t be appearing every week on RAW.”
As you can see, WWE needs a main event storyline to run on the flagship show in due course. They will not have Brock Lesnar on the show on a weekly basis to make it a success. Braun Strowman should do it as the replacement. Furthermore, Lars Sullivan can make his debut at WWE TLC as a hired goon for Baron Corbin.

This would ensure the win and his role as a permanent authority figure. The source, however, added that Braun Strowman will find a way to face Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble by any means. This will happen despite Baron Corbin being the general manager of WWE Raw. Perhaps, there would be a rematch between the two superstars in due course ensuring that Strowman can face the Universal Champion at one point.
