WWE News: Big Championship Change Happening At WWE TLC
Dec 15, 2018 at 1:19 PM
Becky Lynch will defend her Smackdown Women’s Championship at WWE TLC. Charlotte Flair and Asuka will be the two contenders put against her setting up the triple threat match. This is undoubtedly a dream lineup for the fans that could turn out to be the ‘match of the year’. Also, the match will take place under Tables, Ladders and Chairs capacity which is first of its kind.
Update on WWE TLC main event match
We will witness history as the women superstars will compete in another first-ever gimmick match in WWE. Also, additional stakes are there in the match that set the course for the women’s division in due course. Recent reports suggest that the title can change hands in this match. However, Becky Lynch is still not medically 100 percent fit for the contest.
Why WWE added Asuka to WWE TLC?
Reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggest that Asuka may be on the verge of winning the Smackdown women’s championship at WWE TLC. This is just to ensure a Wrestlemania showdown between Ronda Rousey and any one of the other two competitors of the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
The original lineup for Wrestlemania 35 main event was going to be Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey. But things changed as Becky Lynch suffered an injury and could not compete against Rousey at Survivor Series. This built natural sympathy towards the Smackdown women’s champion. So, now this contest might replace the original matchup.
In order to ensure any one of these two matches, both Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will have to stay without titles on Smackdown. There could not be any Champion vs. Champion matchup at the grandest stage of them all, anyway. So it’ll be better to keep the championship away from these two on Smackdown. Asuka is a far better choice to win the much-anticipated gold on the main roster.
The storyline will be playing just like that as per the reports, (courtesy wwfoldschool.com)
“WWE could play on this story and book both Becky & Charlotte in the Women’s Royal Rumble 2019 match, with both women trying to win the match and get a match against Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 35 (Rousey isn’t expected to lose the Title before the Show of Shows at least).”
Also, the upcoming WWE TLC match would protect Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch even is they end up on the losing side. They will not have to digest either pinfall or submission loss. This is a special advantage of a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match where the winner has to grab the title by climbing the stairs. This will not harm the strong status of the other two participants of the match.
