#1 Hope isn't true: A ridiculous stipulation match for Roman Reigns is being considered at TLC

As mentioned, the Roman Reigns-Baron Corbin feud has been one that looks to be killing off a lot of interest in SmackDown and this is exactly how to undo the brilliant work they've done with The Big Dog this year.

As far as Baron Corbin has come, it seems as though the booking of him is a momentum killer for other superstars as well. With Vince McMahon reportedly being a fan of the segment where the man in the dog costume came out, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE plans to hold a ludicrous stipulation match for Roman Reigns at TLC - a "dog collar match":

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

"Besides Rusev vs. Lashley’s first major match, which right now is planned for a non-stip match, there will be a TLC match with Asuka & Kairi Sane defending the women’s tag titles against Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair and a Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin match. It will be a gimmick match but the gimmick has not been decided upon. It could be tables ladders or chairs, but dog collar match has also been up for consideration."

We hope this isn't true because that's new levels of ridiculousness that will hurt every superstar involved!
