12 results predictions for WWE TLC 2018

#7 Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre

This could be a really good match

A match between Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor should be built much more than what it has received. While it hasn't been bad, it could have meant a lot more. Imagine an undefeated McIntyre going head-to-head with the undefeated Demon.

WWE squandered this potential goldmine of an opportunity when they booked McIntyre to get pinned by former partner Dolph Ziggler. They gave away a possible pay-per-view match between two former tag team title winning partners, as they wasted it in a throwaway bout, which also threw away the Scotsman's undefeated streak.

The match will be a good one though, with the typical big man vs little man dynamic. Both McIntyre and Balor work well in those respective capacities. This match would have a similar concept to Balor's matches with Baron Corbin, but with a sizeable upgrade.

However, there can only be one winner for this match. Drew McIntyre is being built up to become a massive star, and could potentially win the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. Beating Finn Balor at TLC would be a positive step for The Scottish Psychopath. It will be his first pay-per-view singles victory since returning to the company.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins

#6 The Bar vs The Usos vs The New Day (SmackDown tag team championship)

This will be a fun match

The Bar and The New Day have been having some decent matches with each other, with the Big Show siding with the heels. However, The Giant performed his customary face turn before riding off, leaving Sheamus and Cesaro behind.

The SmackDown tag champs will defend their belts against their longtime foes and The Usos, the only winners from SmackDown on Survivor Series. These are three of the best tag teams in the entire company, making this another potential show stealer.

Any combination of teams in this match has produced fantastic results, with a DVD's worth of classic tag team matches. One could even argue that this should be a Ladder match, but there is another similar match on the card.

The Bar seems to be transitioning into a feud with the Usos, after months of battle with the five-time tag champs. So here, Sheamus or Cesaro could sneak a victory from underneath one of The Usos, enabling the heels to escape with their titles, and establishing the Samoan twins as their next opponents on the blue brand.

Prediction: The Bar barely retain

#5 Ronda Rousey vs Nia Jax (RAW Women's Championship)

This should be quick

Nia Jax is being put in a position she really shouldn't last in. The only reaction she is getting is nuclear heat, the wrong kind of heat. After all, she robbed us from seeing Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch at Survivor Series.

While that match will eventually happen, this does not discredit the fact that Nia has been a pretty sloppy worker. This match would be a follow-up from Money in the Bank, when Ronda gave Nia the best match of her career before it was interrupted by Alexa Bliss and her cash-in.

This will put a definitive end to this rivalry once and for all, with The Rowdy One coming out on top. She should squash the Samoan with relative ease in a moment that would 100 percent pop the crowd.

Ronda will be massively over at TLC without a doubt. Also, as mentioned earlier, some of the matches should be kept short. This one should be short, displaying Ronda as a killer. After this, it is on to the Royal Rumble, where The Baddest Woman On The Planet will meet her match for WrestleMania.

Prediction: Ronda Rousey destroys Nia Jax
