PPV Predictions: WWE TLC 2017

WWE TLC

Pre-Show:
​Sasha Banks vs Alicia Fox

Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs Jack Gallagher & Brian Kendrick
​For the first time that I can remember a Raw PPV will feature two cruiserweight matches which is great in my opinion especially if both matches are deserving of it. However, my one problem with this match is that they fought on Raw a few weeks ago & only went a few minutes so it's kinda tough to get excited about this match. But I will say that Kendrick & Gallagher should win to get the heels some momentum. 

​Asuka vs Emma 
​We have been waiting for this for a long time and I am very excited to see Asuka arrive on the main roster. Emma won the right to face her after winning a fatal five way match and I think this gives Emma a boost going into the match. However, there is no doubt in mind that Asuka will win and I chose not to spend to much time on this one. 

AJ Styles vs Finn Balor
​Let me just say this that as far as Bray vs Finn there feud should be done with and the WWE needs to move on from them no matter what happened with Bray to cause the match to be canceled. To this point I wasn't at all looking forward to Balor vs Wyatt as I was more dreading the match due to the idea of them fighting again. With AJ now moved into the spot I do like the match a lot more, but I don't know if I like it as much as I could had it been built up more. I know there is no way it could've been but it's just now this match will give us a taste of what the future could hold. I could see Jinder getting involved in some way and costing AJ the match to allow Finn to win. 

​WWE Woman's Championship:
​(c) Alexa Bliss vs Mickie James
​Last month following the PPV I though Alexa had nobody left to beat and that she had defeated all the possible challengers. I was very surprised when Mickie made her intentions clear that she would be challenging for the title. Once the feud started building I got a little disappointed due to the build and the direction they chose to go, but I still really like the fact that Mickie is in the title picture. I do think there is a few ways they can go in this match, but I think Bliss winning clean maybe the best way. 

WWE Cruiserweight Champion:
​(c) Kalisto vs Enzo 
​My interest in Enzo over the last few months has gone from rock bottom to almost where it was before he and Cass broke up. I think the decision to put Enzo in the Cruiserweight division was a great idea and the best way to use Enzo also turning him heel was a good idea too based on how he was being booked. The one thing I don't get is his pose that was with him on Raw, don't get me wrong I like it but I don't get why they are with him. Either way though we will find out I hope and I think Kalisto wins tonight via DQ after said pose interferes. 

​TLC Five on Three Handicap Match:
​Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, & Kurt Angle vs The Miz, The Bar, Kane & Braun Strowman
​To get something out of the way I will start by saying I don't understand the point of this match and why they let it go so far. What I mean is that having The Shield against Miz & The Bar would've been better then a handicap match, because in my book there is no way The Shield could win without making someone look bad. However, in a six man nobody looks bad when the pinfall happens. But now with Roman out and Angle in the question comes up can Angle take the fall and not be damaged if he did. I know some might be thinking Kurt shouldn't take the fall in his first match back, but if his future isn't clear then why shouldn't he because protecting the tag champions should be more important. As for what I think will happen I have a bad feeling that the good guys will win even though I think the heels should & let the good guys win at Survivor Series. However, we are talking about the WWE and they have a bad habit of letting good guys win when they shouldn't & this means that Angle, & The Shield get the win even though they shouldn't.
