WWE TLC 2019 came to an end this Sunday and it is fair to say that the show was absolutely brilliant. Some of the matches were incredible, to say the least, and WWE ended their last pay-per-view of the year on a high note.
Before we get into SmackDown and what implications TLC might have on the Blue Brand, let's go into some detail about what transpired at the pay-per-view. The New Day successfully defended their SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The Revival, in a brilliant TLC tag team match.
Then, Bray Wyatt defeated The Miz clean, before Daniel Bryan returned with a new look and took out the leader of the Firefly Fun House before the Universal Champion mysteriously disappeared.
Furthermore, Roman Reigns lost to Baron Corbin as the King of SmackDown was aided by The Revival and Dolph Ziggler. It didn't end there as we saw massive brawls break out between Corbin and Reigns backstage after their match and at the conclusion of the main event. The show ended with 'The Big Dog' hitting a huge spear on King Corbin.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
With all that in mind, let's take a look at three SmackDown related hints WWE dropped at TLC.
#3 The Revival and New Day are not done yet
The New Day and The Revival put on a stunning match to open the show at TLC and the way the PPV ended suggested that The Revival are not done yet with the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
It shouldn't be too much of a surprise as The Revival seem to be the only heel tag team capable of challenging The New Day, especially after Robert Roode's suspension. Don't be surprised if this feud continues past the Royal Rumble and both teams keep picking up and dropping the SmackDown Tag Team Titles in 2020.
No one is really complaining about it either, as both teams are doing just about everything in their power to increase the prestige of the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
#2 Vince McMahon is giving Baron Corbin a push
Baron Corbin defeated Roman Reigns at TLC, much to everyone's surprise. It didn't really hurt Reigns' aura, but it did improve Baron Corbin's image as one of the biggest heels in the company right now.
No matter how many Superstars help you, if you are able to beat Vince McMahon's golden boy Roman Reigns, you are doing something right. That is what is happening with Corbin at the moment and with this win, he may have strengthened his position as the company's best heel.
Also, this has helped Roman to get over with the WWE Universe, as anyone who comes up against Corbin will always be cheered. King Corbin will get a championship opportunity down the line and he will be heavily involved in Reigns' character arch as we approach Royal Rumble.
There's a chance that Corbin vs Reigns will continue until then, but don't be surprised if Corbin and Reigns move onto bigger and better things.
#1 The Miz and Daniel Bryan could form an alliance in the upcoming weeks
This storyline involving Universal Champion Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, and The Miz has been a show-stealer. Things have come to a point where fans have started saying that Wyatt's Firefly Fun House character might be one of the best gimmicks of all time.
The bout between The Miz and Wyatt wasn't incredible, but the storytelling was off the charts. The sadistic Wyatt was enjoying his punishment and after he had his fun, Wyatt finished The Miz with two Sister Abigails.
Then, we saw The Fiend on the big screen encouraging Wyatt to do more destruction and that's when the new look Daniel Bryan returned. By the looks of things, Wyatt might have to deal with both The Miz and Bryan as we head toward the Royal Rumble.
With The Fiend proving to be unbeatable to date, a babyface alliance between long-time rivals The Miz and Daniel Bryan may be in the works and the WWE Universe would absolutely love to see it.
