5 Things likely to happen at the TLC PPV 2018

We're just two weeks away from WWE's last PPV of this year, TLC.

Thus far, eight matches have been made official for the PPV and in coming weeks we might even see more matches being made official for it. As we're talking about this PPV, there are a handful of things that are most likely to happen like, Daniel Bryan and Ronda Rousey retaining the title and a couple more things.

So, today in the feature we're going to take a look at those things which are most likely to happen at the TLC PPV. Let's get started, shall we?

#5 Daniel Bryan retains the WWE Championship

Daniel Bryan will probably hold the title, at least until WrestleMania 35 and will drop the title to Samoa Joe

Daniel Bryan finally won the WWE Championship for the fourth time in his career after coming out of retirement. This past month on SmackDown Live, Bryan defeated AJ Styles for the title with a cheap shot. As their re-match is already scheduled to take place at WWE's TLC PPV this month, it's highly likely that Daniel Bryan will beat Styles again to retain the championship.

As Styles has reportedly requested in his new contract to work on a lesser scale now (only on PPV'S and weekly show, not on house shows), just like Randy Orton, so it's easy for one to predict that Styles won't be winning the WWE title anytime soon.

Because if he does win the title, he has to fight on every house show, which is supposedly the opposite of what he has requested in his new contract. So, Daniel Bryan will probably hold the title, at least until WrestleMania 35 and will drop the title to Samoa Joe.

#4 Ronda Rousey wins by DQ

Tamina could play a very important role in the match

Nia Jax is currently working as a heel. And after accidentally injuring Becky Lynch a few weeks ago on Raw she's receiving more heat from the fans than she ever had. Nia Jax is currently booked to take on Ronda Rousey at the upcoming TLC PPV for the Raw women's championship.

Though Nia has Tamina by her side now, it doesn't take away the fact that WWE will not take off the title from Rousey just for the sake of Nia Jax. So, the possible way to make both women look stronger is to making Rousey win by DQ at TLC.

Yes, Tamina could play a very important role in the match. She could interfere in the closing moments of the match by attacking Rousey due to which referee has to call off the match which will eventually result in Rousey retaining her title. This way both women could fight for the title again at some point, probably Royal Rumble PPV.

#3 Charlotte wins the SmackDown Women's Championship

Charlotte and Asuka can feud over the title and Becky will be free to develop a storyline with the "Rowdy" one

Charlotte Flair is scheduled to take on Asuka and Becky Lynch (c) for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Though it seems that at this point Becky Lynch won't be losing the title as she's way over with the crowd right now, according to the latest rumour, a handful of titles are expected to change hands.

And SmackDown Women's Title will probably one of them.

Since Becky Lynch is expected to face Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35 so the most sensible way to develop their storyline will be by making Becky winning the upcoming Women's Royal Rumble match and then go on to face Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania. But to do so first she needs to drop the title to someone and there is no other better option than Charlotte Flair.

Since it'll be a triple threat match, Charlotte can win the title by pinning Asuka, this way Becky Lynch will be protected. And after this, Charlotte and Asuka can feud over the title and Becky will be free to develop a storyline with the "Rowdy" one.

#2 Bray Wyatt replaces Braun Strowman to fight Baron Corbin

The thing that could happen is that Strowman will not come out, due to which Corbin will ask for an opponent

Bray Wyatt has been off WWE TV since Matt Hardy took a step back from in-ring action due to his unique spine condition. Since that point, Wyatt has not made even a single appearance on WWE TV, until now.

Wyatt recently returned from hiatus when he answered Baron Corbin's open challenge on WWE Starrcade. According to the rumour, Bray Wyatt has returned as Braun Strowman's replacement, since the latter has suffered an elbow injury due to which he had to undergo surgery.

So, basically, Wyatt is now tipped as Baron Corbin's TLC opponent since Strowman won't be able to compete. So, while WWE won't be making this official till TLC PPV, expect the same to happen on the day of PPV. At TLC, Strowman will not come out during his scheduled, due to which Corbin will ask for an opponent.

So, Bray Wyatt will come out and replace Strowman.

#1 Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose ends with Double Count-out

There's no way that any of the superstars will defeat the other clean, not while the title is on the line

The first thing to note here is that it will be the first-ever match between Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose since the latter has turned his back on his friend. There's no way that any of the superstars will defeat the other clean, not while the title is on the line.

So, expect their TLC match to end in double count-out as it'll be the best way to extend their feud, keep it exciting and make both men look stronger. So above all the results of this match, this is the most likely thing to happen at the PPV.

After this, both men might face off each other at Royal Rumble PPV again, and if the title changes hand there, it'll make more sense than making it change hands on TLC PPV.
