5 Big shockers WWE could be planning for TLC 

In what has all the potential of being a spectacular night, WWE will be live from the SAP Center next Sunday for their next PPV outing, with WWE TLC.

While Monday Night Raw has failed to exceed expectations, SmackDown Live has maintained their credibility by delivering back-to-back sensational episodes.

Since the booking has been pretty average, there's a possibility that the company could be planning something big to transpire at the event next Sunday.

With Braun Strowman still unlikely to answer Baron Corbin's call for TLC, other significant options could be taken into consideration which would make things more interesting by the time 2019 hits us.

The only match that has caught the attention of the headlines is the SmackDown Women's Championship match which is set up to be a historic TLC encounter.

With WWE definitely receiving a lot of backlash for their current booking, could Vince McMahon pull something spectacular on TLC? Let's see.

Here are the 5 big shockers WWE could be planning for TLC.

#1 The Demon King returns and defeats Drew Mcintyre in style

Will this happen?

Despite being one of the most underutilized performers in the world of professional wrestling, there's a genuine possibility that the company could be booking something special with Finn Balor.

Since his demonic moniker is so special and relevant among the fans, clashing his dark side with the Scottish Terminator at TLC could blow the roof off SAP Center.

While Drew Mcintyre is still running riot on Monday Night Raw, there's a chance of a good storytelling here, with Finn Balor costing Mcintyre his first loss at the hands of Dolph Ziggler.

Regardless of the poor booking on the red brand, it's about time that the creative team pulls off the unexpected and give Finn Balor a clinical win next Sunday.

A win here would certainly bring a shocking element to the PPV and would ascend Balor's credibility before he steps up for the Road to WrestleMania 35.

#2 Bray Wyatt returns to the squared circle with an entirely new gimmick

What is the Eater of Worlds thinking?

While Bray Wyatt has been fit for a return since months, WWE has stopped themselves from bringing the Eater of Worlds back on screens on Monday nights.

Since this could be the sign of something special, reintroducing Wyatt in an entirely new gimmick could bring some serious rejuvenation on the red brand.

There's no denying that Bray Wyatt deserves all the recognition in the world and a return at the event could make him an even more special character than he already has been for years.

Considering that there are rumors that Braun Strowman might not be available for TLC, the Eater of Worlds could step up for his monster and finish the job against Baron Corbin.

Regardless of how much you admire Bray Wyatt today, a return in an entirely new character would definitely shock the entire world of professional wrestling.

#3 Asuka wins the SmackDown Women's Championship clean

Is it time?

Judging by how the creative team has booked the women's division on SmackDown Live lately, there's a strong possibility that something surprising could happen in this encounter.

While Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have carried the division on their shoulders for a long time, the inclusion of Asuka is making things more interesting.

Considering that WWE is laser-focused on booking a terrific women's match for WrestleMania 35, this could be the time that Asuka is pushed to conquer the blue brand.

With The Man and The Queen set to clash with Ronda Rousey at the Show of Shows, dropping the title to Asuka would make things more intense between the three.

There's no denying that Lynch and Charlotte are always ready for a war, and their personal animosities could cost them a lot next Sunday at the SAP Center.

#4 R-Truth and Carmella earn their right as last entrants in Royal Rumble

Will this be the right decision?

In what could have been a golden opportunity for someone like A.J. Styles to win the Mixed Match Challenge Tournament and become the final entrant in the Royal Rumble, the company has decided to push R-Truth and Carmella.

While the duo are entertaining to the core, making them fight for the final entrant spot in the Royal Rumble diminishes the entire credibility of the tournament.

Since Royal Rumble is highly regarded for the surprises and shock value, announcing the last entrant well in advance will certainly not receive much appraisal from the audience.

With Finn Balor already scheduled for a match at TLC, there are chances that someone else would take his spot to team up with Bayley.

Considering Vince McMahon has definitely given the thumbs up to Carmella's dance breaks, a win for them next Sunday could very well be on the charts.

#5 The Miz helps The 'New' Daniel Bryan in defeating AJ Styles

A definite possibility

There's no denying that the blue brand has been sensational in giving us some of the storylines in the WWE today, and with Daniel Bryan working as a heel now, this could be the start of something even more terrific.

With AJ Styles doing everything in his power to win the WWE Championship, there's an A-Lister lurking behind who could assist his long-time rival in Daniel Bryan to reclaim the gold.

Judging by how Miz TV transpired, it certainly feels like the New Daniel Bryan is everything that the Miz wanted him to be when he first arrived in NXT.

Since there's room for a terrific story here, helping Bryan retain the WWE Championship would bring a shocking element to the show as well as Bryan's overall character.

A heel faction with the two could be amazing and would certainly factor into bringing more layers to the New Daniel Bryan.
