With the Survivor Series over with, the WWE now shifts gears and looks ahead to TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs live from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Dec. 14.
Backstage Notes On Sting's Survivor Series Appearance
The WWE has already announced that Dean Ambrose will take on Bray Wyatt in a TLC match at the event and taking that into account, we here at Sports World News will fantasy book the rest of it.
With just three weeks until this event goes live, the WWE has little time to build up the final pay-per-view and WWE Network special of the year.
WWE Monday Night RAW Preview For Tonight
Though there are rumors that Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena, we're going to go with the notion that the company will end up saving that bout for January's Royal Rumble and keep Lesnar off of the show.
We will also assume that Sheamus is legitimately hurt and won't be involved here while Randy Orton (filming a movie) will be placed on the card and Roman Reigns (hernia) will run interference at some point to officially return, but won't have a match.
With us keeping Lesnar out of the plans, it would make sense that John Cena will feud with The Big Show for one month after the giant Superstar turned on Cena and hit him with a knockout punch, causing his elimination during the traditional match at Survivor Series.
Considering it's TLC, Cena and Show will clash in a Chairs Match and Cena will gain some revenge on Show while looking strong for his inevitable match with Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.
Elsewhere, the WWE should take advantage of Dolph Ziggler's big night at Survivor Series by giving him a high-profile match with Seth Rollins.
Considering Orton also has had problems with Rollins and Corporate Kane, the WWE could have Orton and Ziggler team as reluctant partners with a common cause against Rollins and Kane in a Tag Team Tables Match at TLC.
Rounding out the card, our WWE TLC lineup will feature four title matches.
The first will be a United States Championship match pitting two of the company's biggest titans against each other as Rusev will put his belt on the line against Ryback after eliminating him in the traditional main event.
Considering the history between Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, the two will clash in another match of big men for the Intercontinental Championship at the event.
With Damien Sandow and The Miz winning the Tag Team Championships at Survivor Series, Goldust & Stardust are due for a return match. Considering Miz/Sandow are more toward the heel spectrum and Gold & Stardust are also heels, The Usos can be thrown in here as a third team to make it a Triple Threat Tag Team Match.
Finally, AJ Lee is also due for a return match for the Divas Championship, but considering Nikki and Brie Bella appear to be on good terms, the odds will be stacked against Lee as she will battle both Bellas in a Triple Threat Match at TLC.
Some of the people left off this card -- including the rest of the Divas, Jack Swagger, Cesaro (who deserves better), Fandango, Mark Henry, Adam Rose and others -- could be featured on the pre-show in some capacity.
