It seemed as if WWE TLC 2019 would be just a regular pay-per-view and then suddenly, Seth Rollins turned heel and it seemed like the event became must-see. And because of the lack of big names like Brock Lesnar in the mix, I can definitely foresee WWE putting in a whole truckload of surprises to ensure that TLC becomes an event that's worth watching.
So what are the surprises that could potentially take this big event by storm, ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe? I shall attempt to answer the question with this article and I invite you to do the same.
The comments section is your space and you can voice your own list of surprises. Additionally, you may even choose to comment on the surprises that I have listed if that's your desire.
My point is that we're both wrestling fans, so let's get a conversation going then!
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Both Bray Wyatt and The Fiend show up
I'm sure that you guys have noticed already but the match with The Miz does not feature The Fiend, but Bray Wyatt which is interesting. I mean that I doubt that Firefly Fun House Bray Wyatt will be portrayed as bulletproof, like The Fiend has been, leading up to this point. And this also allows for a very interesting scenario to potentially play out!
What if the plan if for Daniel Bryan to show up, as The Fiend, to help Bray Wyatt win the match? We know that Wyatt dragged him to a dark place and since then, the man has been missing. I can totally imagine Wyatt and Bryan working as an alliance.
Bray Wyatt had promised us a new face in the Firefly Fun House, not very long ago, right? It could be Daniel Bryan. And this could be the big storyline that leads to the return of the 'Yes Movement' again!
#4 Charlotte Flair turns on Becky Lynch midway through their big match
Until Nia Jax returns to the RAW Women's Division once again, I think it is clear to say that the whole division relies on two women, at this time. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, who are best friends in real life and who have been bitter rivals on-screen, thus far!
And so, this pairing, where both women are babyfaces, may just be a ploy for us to think that they are going to get along before Charlotte Flair turns on Becky Lynch in the middle of their big match. Honestly speaking, if this does not happen, I don't foresee how Kairi and Asuka can effectively retain their titles, especially if you consider the fact that Flair and Lynch are the two most protected WWE Superstars in the roster.
I know that a lot of people may be bored of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair taking each other on, again and again, but they are the Austin and Rock of the women's division and none can deny that every time they clash, it is pure magic, every single time!
#3 Brock Lesnar shows up midway through WWE TLC
Brock Lesnar has a very bad habit. When people least expect him to, the Beast shows up and just changes the dynamics and the landscape of WWE with his sheer presence.
Case in point, the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, where nobody really thought that he would appear but appear he did, to win the whole thing. And now that everyone believes that WWE TLC 2019 will be a completely Lesnar-free event, Brock Lesnar is certain to show up and remind us why he's the biggest player in the game today.
Imagine if he were to interrupt the match between Bobby Lashley and Rusev, out of nowhere at all. It would be Lesnar telling both men involved in the match that they were in his crosshairs and while they were fighting for Lana (even though Rusev may be over it now), a certain Beast Incarnate wanted a piece of the two of them in the ring.
Rusev vs. Brock Lesnar may be the biggest money match at this stage. Rusev is, by far, the most popular male babyface in WWE today and the crowd would back him in such an encounter.
#2 Lana helps Rusev win his match
And then, this possibility could also emerge from the Lana vs. Rusev angle, although I wouldn't necessarily be a fan of it. What if it was Lana and Rusev's fan all along to make it seem like she was not on his side, to get one over on Bobby Lashley at the big pay-per-view match? This would keep the angle going for yet another month at least, and we all know that Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman are big fans of this particular storyline.
Anything featuring Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley does great numbers, and even though a twist of this manner may not make a lot of sense, from a booking perspective, it would be a talking point. It would help Rusev and Lana re-establish their pairing once again, as the Bulgarian Brute restarts his ascent to the top of the food chain again.
Rusev could be a valuable heel in the WWE roster and could work against the likes of Rey Mysterio and even Ricochet. It would certainly make things very interesting indeed, in my personal opinion. He could even revisit his feud with Randy Orton.
#1 John Morrison comes out to help Roman Reigns against Corbin
Roman Reigns is scheduled to take on King Corbin in a table, ladders, and chairs match at WWE TLC and one thing that we can be assured of, is that wherever the King goes, his minions are sure to follow! Well, only Dolph Ziggler, in this particular case, if you consider the fact that Robert Roode has been suspended due to a wellness violation.
This past week on SmackDown, we saw Dolph Ziggler and King Corbin team up to dump a whole bunch of dog food on The Big Dog. And this is certain to happen again at TLC because you know that King Corbin will use the number game to his advantage.
And then, John Morrison can just show up out of nowhere to even the odds and take the fight to the heels, with his incredible feats of athleticism. This will immediately establish John Morrison as a top babyface on the Blue Brand and put him back into the spotlight almost at once.
Morrison is a valuable asset, as we've seen from his stints at Impact Wrestling and Lucha Underground.
