With Survivor Series ending up to become one of the most compelling shows of the year, WWE could be looking to deliver the same with their next PPV, TLC 2018.

Since four matches have been announced for the show, the WWE Championship match between Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles seems to be the ideal main event.

There's no denying that the show has all the potential in the world to deliver what the fans are expecting, and also cater to the story Vince McMahon wants to tell going forward into 2019.

Considering that both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live failed to deliver this week as far advancing the narrative is concerned, the company could be planning something shocking for the TLC event.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

But, what could it be? Let's find out. Here are the 5 legitimate shockers WWE could be planning for WWE TLC 2018.


#1 Lars Sullivan debuts and destroys Braun Strowman in his TLC match against Baron Corbin

While we are still not confirmed whether Braun Strowman would be participating at the event, if he does then there could be something incredible being planned for the Monster Among Men.

Since Vince McMahon loves guys with great physical stature, his adulation for Lars Sullivan could coerce him to directly push him against a guy like Braun Strowman.

This would definitely be a shocking prospect but would assist the Lone Wolf in becoming the General Manager of Monday Night Raw, and would protect Strowman going forward into 2019.

The NXT sensation definitely possesses all the credentials that Vince McMahon looks for in a legitimate superstar and with the company promoting him immensely through video packages, he could debut and shock the world at WWE TLC.

Braun Strowman Vs. Lars Sullivan could be an interesting feud heading into 2019, with both the monsters fighting over their supremacy on Monday Night Raw.

#2 Charlotte Flair unleashes a brutal assault on Ronda Rousey

In what is becoming one of the greatest women's feuds in the history of this business, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch could be heading towards the main event of WrestleMania 35.

While fans expected Charlotte to bring the best out of the Rowdy One, nobody expected the Queen to completely maul the Raw Women's Champion and beat her senselessly.

Charlotte's ruthlessness came on full display at Survivor Series and with Ronda Rousey yearning to have her hands on the Queen, something exceptional could happen at TLC.

Considering that both the superstars would be in the same building that night, Charlotte could intervene in Rousey's match against Nia Jax and make a mockery out of her.

Since there's a plan for these two to clash at the Royal Rumble, Charlotte unleashing a brutal assault on the Rowdy One again could be as shocking as it gets.

#3 Dean Ambrose wins the Intercontinental Championship clean

Possibly the only compelling feud that is running riot on Monday Night Raw is the Intercontinental Championship feud between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

Since the fans have always enjoyed both the competitors tear each other apart, the reversal of roles has brought some rejuvenation on the red brand.

Dean Ambrose has turned full lunatic and possesses all the credentials in the world to be the top star under Vince McMahon, only if they book the feud correctly going forward.

While Seth Rollins is garnering tremendous adulation from all over the world for his performances, it is time that the Architect drops the Intercontinental Championship clean to the Lunatic Fringe.

Something like this could be substantial in propelling Ambrose as a legitimate threat and would also lead Rollins to a new direction until they collide again for a blockbuster clash at WrestleMania 35.

#4 Andrade 'Cien' Almas saves Rey Mysterio from Randy Orton's vicious attack

Will the Mexican Sensation turn face?

One of the biggest reasons a major name from SmackDown Live could be turning face is because of the number of heels the blue brand possesses at this point.

While reliable publications have tipped the Miz to turn towards the light and become a face but the company could be looking forward to something incredible at TLC 2018.

Since Shinsuke Nakamura and Andrade 'Cien' Almas have not been pushed the way they should have been, it would be an ideal time for Almas to turn face and insert himself in Randy Orton's feud with Rey Mysterio.

There's no denying that the Apex Predator is playing his role to perfection, and the former NXT Champion's intervention in their rivalry could lead to something beautiful on the blue brand.

Both Almas and Rey Mysterio could work as a tag team on the blue brand which would certainly elevate the stature of the former NXT Champion before he turns heel on him again.

#5 'New' Daniel Bryan joins hands with Samoa Joe to run SmackDown

Will Daniel Bryan seek help from Joe?

Since Daniel Bryan has ascended to become such a big star in the business, his recent villainous side could coerce the management to make some clinical decisions.

With Bryan no longer acknowledging the WWE Universe, his evil side could bring some serious alterations in his WWE Championship match against A.J. Styles.

Considering that the match could have a stipulation attached to it, Bryan will have a more significant chance of using his heel antics to get the better off the Phenomenal One.

However, there's a sure possibility that the Beard takes advantage of the situation and seeks help from someone like Samoa Joe to run SmackDown Live.

While I'm pretty disappointed with how the company has presented Joe on the blue brand, an alignment between the two could bring some rejuvenation to Bryan and Joe which would be incredibly beneficial in the main event scene of the blue brand.
