WWE TLC 2018 was basically a way of WWE creative team to make the fans happy. They were complaining a lot about the bitter storyline angles ongoing especially on WWE Raw. The heels ruling the roster was one of the main reasons for sure. But last night, the babyfaces made a valiant comeback creating feel-good vibes for the fans who could have gone home on a happy note.
It was surely heart-breaking for most of the fans who were there to witness The Man’s victory at WWE TLC. But make no mistake that Becky Lynch will be up for bigger things following the show. After dropping the title, she will be looking forward to winning the Royal Rumble 2019 match and face Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania. Things can’t get better for the WWE Universe if this becomes a reality at the main event of the show.
Going back to the earlier happenings, the WWE TLC match between Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin was a fun entertainer of the night. Building the acting GM to a bonafide heel just to get the taste of a payback was soothing to the eyes. Adding Kurt Angle to the equation was a bonus. Now neither Kurt Angle nor Baron Corbin holds authoritative power of WWE Raw. This makes the stakes high for tomorrow’s show where Vince McMahon returns.
Speaking of the other matches, it was good to see Finn Balor getting a PPV win at WWE TLC. But the feud with McIntyre and Ziggler will continue for now. Natalya has also been able to win the Tables match that revolved around her daddy, Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart. This win might have closed this storyline where WWE dragged a legend out of his death.
Two of the heels did win their championship matches at WWE TLC. But it was predictive enough. Dean Ambrose winning the IC title seemed evident just to make the way for Seth Rollins to the main event scene. Who better to take on Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania? Furthermore, Daniel Bryan win might have confirmed that AJ Styles is indeed walking away from the WWE when December ends.
Here are the twitter reactions from the WWE TLC 2018 event,
For her, it was never about a streak or a number, it was about proving she was the best of every division she was ever a part of. Tonight, after a brutal #WWETLC match, the Empress of Tomorrow is the Champion of Today. Congratulations @WWEAsuka. #WeAreNXT pic.twitter.com/flIgmYMjEg
