WWE: Tables, Ladders and Chairs will be the final WWE pay-per-view of the year and the WWE Creative have booked a WWE Championship match between Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles for the event. While there's no doubt that this match will not the main event the show even in the absence of the Universal title since the WWE have already announced 2 TLC matches for the PPV.

Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles after hitting him with a low blow to win the WWE Championship on an episode of SmackDown Live. The Bearded G.O.A.T has portrayed a fantastic heel character on TV while AJ Styles has always received huge cheers from the WWE Universe. The two superstars have the talent to tear the house down at WWE TLC.

Given that both the superstars have earlier clashed in singles matches, the WWE Creative should add a stipulation to this match. Here are the 2 stipulations which the match should get and 2 which it should not:


#1 Should Get - No Holds Barred Match

Given that the Phenomenal One has very slim chances of regaining the title, the WWE Creative should let the heel pick up a win in a match where there are no rules. Daniel Bryan has the talent to perform brilliantly inside the ring and also received one of the most brutal beatings at the hands of Brock Lesnar recently.

On the other hand, AJ Styles has received more low blows than anyone on the roster and may receive one more at the hands of Bryan as it could be the way the WWE Creative would like to have the Yes Man retain the WWE championship.

#1 Should Not Get - Tables Match

TLC is all about Tables, Ladders and Chairs and the WWE often books a Tables Match on the card. The simple way to win this match is to place your opponent on the table and break the wooden furniture. With the calibre that Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles have their first PPV match should not end after just one table break.

Surely, both the superstars have the ability to pull off the match of the night even with a tables match stipulation, the WWE Creative would fail to give the match the WWE Universe deserves to see. A lot of AJ Styles' dream matches have ended in an underwhelming manner earlier this year and the fans certainly do not want another one on that list. The WWE should remember that this is the first time these two gifted talents are fighting on a pay-per-view.

#2 Should Get - Ladder Match

Both Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles have won a WWE match where a superstar needs to climb the ladder and take the championship in order to win it

Ladder Matches have always been a fun to watch and shockingly the WWE Creative did not book even a single match last year where the winner had to climb a ladder and take off the championship to be called the champion. The match card of TLC 2017 was one of the weakest TLC match cards since only one match had a stipulation.

Both Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles have fought in a ladders match earlier and thus, it would be great to have two of the WWE legends cross paths in a ladders match. The last ladders match in the WWE was an Intercontinental Championship match between The Miz and Dolph Ziggler which took place at TLC 2016.

#2 Should Not Get - Submission Match

Since both the superstars have a submission move in their arsenal, the WWE Creative could have this match as a 'Submission match'

AJ Styles has several finishing moves but the Calf Crusher has been used more frequently nowadays. While Daniel Bryan has the Yes Lock in his repertoire which nearly made the Beast tap out. The WWE Creative could so end up giving this match the stipulation of a 'Submission Match'.

It's been a long time that a Submission match has taken place in the company and again there's no doubt that Bryan and Styles will bring the arena's roof down in a submission match but the WWE should use this stipulation at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. It would be better to write the last chapter of this storied rivalry with a submission match as in a way it guarantees a clean winner and thus, the last match of this feud (which might take place at the Royal Rumble PPV) should be a 'Submission Match'.
