5 Stipulated matches that WWE could be planning for TLC 2020

The final WWE pay-per-view of 2020 is now finally in sight and whilst there are rumors that suggest WWE has no idea what the final card will be at this point, it's obvious that the company already has some interesting matches planned.

Over the past few weeks, there have been a few feuds building that would make sense if they were allowed to collide at WWE TLC. More often than not the pay-per-view has become the place where stipulated matches populate the card.

This year will be no different and since there have already been a few hints as to what these matches could be, here are just five stipulated matches that could happen at this year's WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs event.

#5 Alexa Bliss vs Nikki Cross - If Bliss loses she will be forced to leave The Firefly Fun House/Cross has to join

Nikki Cross left Alexa Bliss in the ring after an argument on SmackDown a few months ago, which was when The Fiend was able to target the former Women's Champion.

Bliss has since become his new sidekick and has even been added to The Firefly Fun House, but Nikki Cross has now decided that she wants her friend back.

After a brawl last week on RAW, the two women faced off this week with Bliss coming out on top after using some mind games that had obviously come directly from The Fiend himself.

Cross has made it her mission to beat The Fiend out of Bliss and at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs next month, Cross could be given the chance to fight Bliss with an added stipulation.

It would be interesting to see if Alexa Bliss would put her place in the Fun House on the line in order for Cross to have to join them, if she fails to defeat her former friend.

#4. Carmella vs Sasha Banks - WWE SmackDown Women's Championship - NO DQ match

Carmella has targetted Sasha Banks for a number of weeks now and The Boss is yet to address The Untouchable superstar, which is obviously causing Carmella to continue with the weekly assaults.

Following Banks' win over Asuka back at Survivor Series, the SmackDown Women's Champion doesn't have any challengers and can finally turn her focus to Carmella.

The former Miss Money in the Bank is no stranger to No Disqualification matches since she collided with Nikki Bella at WWE TLC back in 2016 in a match that had no rules. This year could be The Boss's turn to get some revenge. Carmella hasn't wrestled a match in a number of months, which would definitely put her at a disadvantage here.

The women of WWE like to make history and step it up at WWE TLC, so it's likely that Sasha Banks will want a stipulated match to ensure that she can send a message to Carmella and any other woman who thinks about challenging for her Women's Championship.

#3. Drew McIntyre vs Braun Strowman - WWE Championship - TLC match

Drew McIntyre skipped this week's episode of Monday Night RAW, but the company decided to start the process of naming his next challenger in his absence. Next week there will be a triple threat match for the chance to face McIntyre at TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, but it appears that the man who will face the Champion isn't even in the match.

Braun Strowman was suspended from WWE yesterday after putting his hands on Producer Adam Pearce on RAW but rumors suggest that in the next few weeks it will become clear that he is the man who has been chosen as McIntyre's next challenger.

With current rumors also suggesting that Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan won't be happening at next month's event, it's likely that McIntyre and Strowman will main event the show for the WWE Championship. This means that the two men will be forced to collide in the traditional TLC match which will definitely test both men, who are currently strangers to these kinds of Championship matches.

#2. Lana and Asuka vs Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler - WWE Women's Tag Team Championships - Tables match

For nine whole weeks, Lana was targetted by the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and each time she was put through the announce table. At Survivor Series the curse finally came to an end when Lana was able to become the sole survivor for Team RAW.

This week on RAW, Lana looked to push her luck forward with a Women's Championship match against Asuka, but after interference, the two women decided to join forces to tackle the Tag Team Champions.

Asuka and Lana picked up the win which means that they will be handed a future Championship match and it could take place at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.

Asuka could be the person that Lana has needed in her corner over the past few weeks and as an added measure of revenge, the two teams could be looking to collide in a Tables match. This could be designed so that Lana can finally put Nia Jax through a table and the feud between the two women can come full circle.

#1. Randy Orton vs The Fiend - Cinematic match created by Bray Wyatt's alter-ego

Fun House Bray Wyatt has been hinting that The Fiend is coming for Randy Orton over the past few weeks and now that Orton is out of the WWE Championship picture, The Fiend has set his sights on his former friend.

The Fiend definitely has to send a message to Orton in this feud because the former 14-time WWE World Champion burned down the Wyatt Family Compound and was able to infiltrate his family.

Not only that, but Orton walked into WrestleMania and took away Wyatt's WWE Championship that he won for the first time at Elimination Chamber back in 2017. This feud has history and it definitely won't be over with one match, since it's expected to continue through into 2021.

At present, it's unknown what kind of match these two men will collide in but it's a safe bet to assume that it will be a cinematic match and it could take Orton back to 2016 when he first encountered The Wyatt Family and Sister Abigail.
