WWE TLC 2018: 5 things we learned from the pay-per-view

#4 Elias vs Bobby Lashley shouldn’t have happened

The match between these two was a botched booking, to say the least. Both men are very unfamiliar with ladder matches, and their size and strength can prove to be a better match for some other stipulation.

Thankfully, the match found itself on the kick-off and did not damage the show too much. But comparing it to the match that took place right before it, it was nothing more than a bad booking between two superstars with great potential.

Elias has been kept in the mid-card for a long time, and there is little he can do with this win going forward as too many heels and top-card superstars have already taken the highlight of Raw. It seemed like the entire purpose of the match was to have more heat against the Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley who will probably progress more than Elias in the near future.

The fact that a guitar was used to end the match made it seem even dumber since both men rely on their strength to win matches rather than weapons and objects for the most part.
