This Sunday night, the WWE presents its final pay-per-view of the year when TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs invades the TD Garden in Boston.
Reasons Why John Cena Should Propose To Nikki Bella
The WWE has announced six matches for the card, including the main event, which will pit WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus against Roman Reigns in a TLC bout.
Here are 10 booking decisions the WWE creative team needs to make the event a classic.
Even Dana White Doesn't Think CM Punk Is Ready For UFC
1) No Reign For Reigns
Roman Reigns has been Vince McMahon's rumored pick to carry the WWE on his back, but he's been met with mixed reactions and the company has now balked twice at giving him a legitimate championship reign. If he's going to have his big moment, the WWE might as well wait until WrestleMania, rather than a secondary event like TLC, especially since Sheamus just won the gold.
2) Beleaguered Nations
The WWE created quite the head-scratcher on RAW when it had the League of Nations job out to Reigns' foursome in their first full week as a team, with Sheamus even eating the pin. That is not the proper way to get the group over and the WWE needs to remedy it on Sunday by having Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio win their respective bouts.
3) New Day Rocks
The trio of Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E has been the most entertaining aspect of the WWE over the last few months. The team's run as Tag Team Champions seems to be in peril as they face a three-way Ladder Match against The Usos and Lucha Dragons at TLC. The WWE needs to realize what it has here and keep the belts on the cowardly and comedic heels by any means necessary.
4) Wyatts Win
The Wyatt Family was the first team eliminated from the 16-man four-team match on RAW this week, because of course they were. That quick defeat was a microcosm of how Bray Wyatt's brood has been booked the last few months. They talk a big game and then they lose. That needs to stop on Sunday as they face the old school ECW stable of Bubba Ray Dudley (aged 44), Devon Dudley (43), Tommy Dreamer (44) and Rhyno (40). The aging veterans should be in there for two reasons: 1) Put on an entertaining match. 2) Put the Wyatts over.
5) Lass-Kicking
The WWE missed the boat on making the Divas match more compelling. Paige will battle Charlotte again for the Divas Championship despite the fact that she cleanly submitted to the reigning title-holder last month. The creative team opened up an interesting rift between Becky Lynch and Charlotte after Ric Flair's daughter cheated to beat her on RAW, but the WWE didn't add her to the match. It's not too late to change it.
6) Lunatic Champion
A heel holds every single men's title in the WWE right now as Sheamus is the World Champion, Kevin Owens is Intercontinental Champion, Alberto Del Rio is United States Champion and The New Day holds the Tag Championships. As awesome as Owens is, the WWE needs to balance the scales a bit by putting Dean Ambrose over him Sunday in Boston.
7) No Country For Old Zeb
The Zeb Colter and Del Rio pairing never really made any sense, so the WWE forming cracks in the foundation on RAW was a step in the right direction. Del Rio should continue on without his manager when he faces Jack Swagger because it never made sense to see him in the shape of his life only to have an old man on a motorized cart riding behind him.
8) We Want Sasha
Sasha Banks is arguably the best Diva on the roster right now, but she hasn't appeared on a WWE pay-per-view since SummerSlam in August. This needs to change.
9) Memorable Spots
The WWE has so many ladder matches these days that it has taken away from some of the shocking and innovative moments that used to come with the stipulation. Hopefully some of the Superstars have something unique up their sleeves to separate themselves from the pack come TLC.
10) Tables, Ladders & Cena
The WWE has been floundering and its roster has never felt as thin as it has in recent weeks. Need we remind you that Kalisto was three wins away from winning the WWE Championship tournament? Like him or hate him, the WWE needs John Cena to spice things up and perhaps he should make his return from hiatus as soon as Sunday night.
