The Raw roster takes centre stage this Sunday night as the annual TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs event is streamed live from the Target Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The build-up to TLC has been mostly about The Shield, who reunited last week on Raw and have since stepped into a 5-on-3 handicap TLC match against Kane, Braun Strowman, Cesaro, Sheamus and The Miz.

The only two Raw Championships on the line are The Raw Women's title, which Alexa Bliss will defend against Mickie James, and the Cruiserweight Championship — which Enzo Amore will look to reclaim from Kalisto

Even though it has been less than a month since many of these WWE stars were part of No Mercy, there are still a number of stars who desperately need to pick up a win on Sunday night, in an effort to prevent some lengthy pay-per-view losing streaks.

#5 Emma

Emma takes on the debuting "Empress of Tomorrow" Asuka this Sunday night, knowing that she has never won a singles match on pay-per-view in her entire WWE career.

Emma's last pay-per-view win came at Survivor Series back in 2015, when she was part of a team with Alicia Fox, Natalya and Naomi and only eliminated Summer Rae before the clean sweep win.

Emma later returned to NXT following the Survivor Series event before returning to the main roster back in March 2016. In the past 18 months, Emma has only been part of two pay-per-view matches and they were the WrestleMania 32 Divas tag match where her team were on the losing side and No Mercy last month when she was part of the fatal five-way match for the Raw Women's Championship that was won by Alexa Bliss.

Emma has never won a pay-per-view singles match in WWE because she has never had one; this is her first and it is definitely one of the toughest tasks she has ever faced.

#4 Kalisto

Kalisto has a terrible Pay-Per-View record
Kalisto has a terrible Pay-Per-View record

Kalisto is the current Cruiserweight Champion and he defends his title against former Champion Enzo Amore on Sunday night, knowing that he hasn't picked up a win on Pay-per-view since Extreme Rules back in June.

It hasn't been a good few months for the former United States Champion, who hasn't been involved in a pay-per-view since Extreme Rules, where he was able to defeat Apollo Crews as part of the preshow.

Before Extreme Rules, the last time Kalisto won a singles match on pay-per-view was back at Payback in May 2016 where once again he was part of the preshow, defending his United States Championship against Ryback in what would later become Ryback's final WWE match. Although, Kalisto and Apollo Crews did manage to pick up the win over Dolph Ziggler in a handicap match at Elimination Chamber back in February.

Kalisto was last part of a pay-per-view main show singles match back at The Royal Rumble in 2016 when he defeated Alberto Del Rio to recapture the United States Championship, he was then part of the FastLane and WrestleMania kick-off shows, whilst he was Champion.

Kalisto is the Champion of the 205 Live brand and, hopefully, that will mean that his bad spell on pay-per-view is finally over.

#3 Alicia Fox

Alicia Fox is a former Divas Champion and considered to be a veteran in WWE and she walks into TLC this weekend to take on former Raw Women's Champion Sasha Banks as part of the preshow.

Despite being a former Champion, it seems that Alicia isn't given the same number of opportunities as the other women and this is why her last win on Pay-per-view was when she was part of the traditional Survivor Series Women's match back in 2016.

Alicia has been aligned with members of the 205 Live brand over the past few months which saw her team with Noam Dar in a match against Sasha Banks and Rich Swann back at Extreme Rules, which she once again lost.

This was Alicia's only pay-per-view match so far this year but now she takes on Sasha Banks who isn't in the greatest of forms right now, which means that this could be Alicia's chance to finally get a single's win on pay-per-view in 2017.

#2 Mickie James

Mickie James makes history this weekend when she takes on Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship. This match means that Mickie is the only wrestler to has fought for every Championship that the women of the company have had over the past decade.

Mickie has held the Women's and Divas Championships and fought for the NXT Women's Championship at last year's Takeover: Toronto event and the SmackDown Women's Championship back at WrestleMania where she was unsuccessful.

Mickie has been part of the Raw roster over the past few months but still hasn't been able to pick up a pay-per-view win since she made her return to WWE, Mickie's last pay-per-view win came all the way back at The Royal Rumble in 2010 where she finally managed to defeat Michelle McCool.

Mickie could also become a six-time Women's Champion if she wins this weekend, which will allow her to make history in her own right this weekend with a win.

#1 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt takes on Finn Balor this weekend at TLC as "The Demon" goes up against "Sister Abigail", even though Finn has already defeated Wyatt twice on pay-per-view in recent months.

Bray is yet to win a match on pay-per-view as part of his current storyline with Finn Balor and you would have to go all the way back to his match against Randy Orton at Payback in April to see the last time for the former Wyatt Family Patriarch won a match that wasn't given away on free TV.

Many fans have commented on Wyatt's abysmal win/loss record over the past few months, but it seems that he could finally put this right if he is able to defeat The Demon with the help of Sister Abigail on Sunday night.
