3 Hints WWE dropped at TLC

TLC, the last pay-per-view of the decade, ended in style, and was a spectacular event with several awe-inspiring matches. A total of three titles were on the line at the Target Center, but none of the belts changed hands.

A new match was also added, as Andrade faced Humberto Carrillo in the Kickoff Show. The former NXT Champion lost to Carrillo for the second time in two weeks. Answering The Viking Raiders' open challenge, The OC delivered a decent performance, but the match ended in a double countout. The New Day retained the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, beating The Revival in a Ladder Match, while Bobby Lashley overcame Rusev in a Tables Match.

Bray Wyatt defeated The Miz, and Daniel Bryan showed up to attack the Universal Champion, sending a strong message to The Fiend. Delivering one of the best matches of the night, Aleister Black earned a victory over Buddy Murphy. The Women's Tag Team Championship match main evented the show, as The Kabuki Warriors defended the titles successfully against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

In this article, we discuss three things WWE hinted at TLC.

#3 Bobby Lashley and Rusev will have a rematch somewhere down the line

Rusev and Bobby Lashley, two bitter rivals over the past few months, finally got the chance to face each other at TLC. It was a Tables Match and the two men certainly delivered a great one, but Lashley had the last laugh, owing to an assist from Lana, who attacked Rusev from behind and allowed Lashley to put Rusev through a table.

The feud has helped Rusev to establish himself as a babyface, making him a clear crowd favorite. Even though Rusev lost the bout, fans were behind him throughout the match. Rusev also came close to putting Lashley through a table, but ultimately went through one himself.

Judging by the ending of the match, WWE hinted that the rivalry will continue, and Rusev will get an opportunity to avenge the loss. While it was a Tables Match at TLC, their rematch could be a normal pinfall match, and it won't be surprising if Lana gets banned from the ring, considering how she influenced the outcome of the bout at TLC.

#2 The feud between The Revival and The New Day is done and dusted

The SmackDown Tag Team Championship match was the first match of the main show and was certainly a great way to open TLC, considering it was a Ladder Match. All four members of The Revival and The New Day are adept performers, showing some high-flying maneuvers in the Ladder Match, but the champions stood tall retaining the twin belts.

This feud began a few months ago when Randy Orton teamed up with The Revival while challenging Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. In fact, The Revival defeated The New Day, winning the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at Clash of Champions. Continuing the feud, The New Day reclaimed the twin belts a couple of weeks before Survivor Series.

The Revival, meanwhile, received a rematch after losing the titles, but it didn't have a fair ending, as The Undisputed Era interrupted the match. The New Day beat The Revival fair and square at TLC, hinting at an end to this lengthy feud. The New Day are expected to find new challengers for their titles, while The Revival might move on to another feud.

#1 Baron Corbin could be set for a big push

Reigns and Corbin in action

The match between Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns was certainly one of the most anticipated of the show, especially in light of the intense build-up of the bout. As a matter of fact, it was a traditional TLC match, making it particularly brutal with tables, ladders, and chairs. Corbin certainly took advantage of the stipulation, ambushing 'The Big Dog' with the help of Dolph Ziggler and The Revival, as well as Corbin's security team.

Stepping into the squared circle, Roman Reigns was fuming, and looked eager to gain retribution for the embarrassment he suffered over the past couple weeks at the hands of King Corbin. This included being humiliated by a dog mascot and being chained while dog food was poured all over his body. The former Universal Champion started off well, attacking Corbin's security before entering the ring. 'The Big Dog' looked to be in the driver's seat until Dolph Ziggler came out of nowhere and delivered a vicious Superkick. Corbin eventually got help from his security and The Revival, making the numbers game too much for Reigns to overcome.

It wasn't the first time Corbin beat Reigns, as the former won their previous singles bout as well. Not many Superstars can claim to pin 'The Big Dog' twice, and WWE certainly hinted that King Corbin has a bright future ahead.
