We are a little over a week away from the last WWE pay-per-view of the year as TLC 2020: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs is set to take place on December 20th, later this month. The show named after three of the most popular weapons in professional wrestling, WWE TLC is sure to have several gimmick matches.
As of the writing of this article, a total of six matches have been announced for WWE TLC 2020, including two TLC matches for the Universal and WWE Championship. With this being the last major show of 2020, WWE would want to end the year on a high note and hence fans might be in for surprises in the form of some huge returns.
Let's take a look at five Superstars who could return at WWE TLC 2020. Be sure to comment down and let us know which of them would you love to see back the most?

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Edge
WWE Hall of Famer Edge has been out of action ever since losing to Randy Orton at Backlash in what was dubbed as 'The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever'. It was revealed that Edge tore his triceps during the match and has been on the sidelines recovering.
One of the most anticipated matches at WWE TLC 2020 is the clash between Randy Orton and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. One of the potential finishes for the match could see Edge return to cost Randy Orton his match at WWE TLC 2020. This could protect Orton, who should ideally be the one to take the pin at the pay-per-view and put over The Fiend.
There is definitely a third match coming in the rivalry between Edge and Randy Orton, which is rumored to take place at WrestleMania 37. If Orton was still the WWE Champion, it would have made sense for Edge to enter the Royal Rumble. Edge vs. Orton was arguably one of the best rivalries of 2020 and it would be interesting to see how WWE books the two heading into the WrestleMania season.
#4 Jinder Mahal
One of the possible returns that could happen at WWE TLC 2020 is that of former WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal. Ever since Drew McIntyre won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36, one of the speculated feuds for him has been against his former 3MB teammate, Jinder Mahal.
The success story of both Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal has been similar in many ways. Both of them were part of the same faction, were fired and worked their ways back to the company with an improved physique and attitude, and ultimately became WWE Champions.
At TLC 2020, Drew McIntyre is set to defend his WWE Championship against AJ Styles in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. Unless WWE throws us all a curveball, McIntyre will likely retain at the pay-per-view. To make things interesting, Jinder Mahal could return after Drew McIntyre's match at WWE TLC to congratulate him, only to turn on him and lay him out. This could set up a match between the two at Royal Rumble 2021.
Jinder Mahal is currently out of action since April 2020, recovering from his knee injury. But recently, he has posted several videos on his social media of his workouts that could be a hint about him returning soon, possibly at WWE TLC 2020.
#3 Charlotte Flair
The Queen, Charlotte Flair is one of the biggest names that WWE is missing on its programming right now. She has been out of action for almost six months now after undergoing cosmetic surgery. But the fans might witness the return of the record 12-time women's champion at WWE TLC 2020. It was recently reported that WWE has 'locked-in' the plans for Charlotte Flair's return.
The plans for the return of Charlotte Flair are already locked in. Sources say The Queen insisted long-term plans were laid out before she returned to TV and it seems as though she has gotten her wish.
The lack of credible opponents for RAW Women's Champion Asuka has been clearly evident in the last few months but things could change at WWE TLC 2020 if Flair returns. Asuka will be teaming-up with Lana at WWE TLC 2020 to take on the Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Charlotte Flair could very well return at WWE TLC after Asuka's match to confront her.
Interestingly, she might also go after the SmackDown Women's Championship with WWE announcing her to be traded to the Blue brand. There were also rumors recently about WWE discussing to pair her up with this next Superstar on her return.
#2 Andrade
As per a report, there have been discussions of WWE pairing up Andrade with her real-life partner Charlotte Flair as an on-screen couple. As discussed in the last slide, Flair might return at WWE TLC 2020. Along with her, the former United States Champion Andrade might also get back to action at WWE TLC later this month.
Andrade hasn't been seen on WWE TV since losing to Angel Garza on the Draft special episode of Monday Night RAW. Interestingly, he was not drafted to any brand, and hence WWE has the flexibility to insert him into any storyline on any brand upon his return.
If Andrade and Charlotte Flair return together at WWE TLC 2020, there are quite a few interesting feuds for them, both on RAW as well as SmackDown. The likes of 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss could be one of the possible opponents for them on the Red brand. On the Blue brand, the two might get into a feud with someone like Murphy and Aalyah Mysterio.
WWE pairing Andrade with Charlotte Flair would surely skyrocket his stock and help him reach the main-event status that he deserves.
#1 Goldberg
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has been in news recently as he appeared on The Bump and revealed that he's coming after the Universal Champion Roman Reigns. While the match between the two is rumored to take place at WrestleMania 37, the build to it could start as early as WWE TLC 2020 later this month.
Roman Reigns will be defending his Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at WWE TLC 2020 in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, and is the favorite to win the match and retain his title. With so much hype and talk about the Reigns-Goldberg match recently, WWE could throw us a huge surprise with Goldberg returning after The Tribal Chief's match at WWE TLC 2020 to confront him.
There are many ways WWE can book this feud and a match between the two, which was originally supposed to take place at WrestleMania 36 before Reigns backed out at the last moment. It should also be noted that the fan reaction to the rumors of a Reigns-Goldberg match at WrestleMania hasn't been all that great. Hence, WWE might just book a match between the two at Royal Rumble 2021, and let someone else take on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37.
