Ranking all 10 WWE TLC PPVs so far from worst to best

#1 2016 (Land Of Opportunity)

Possibly the best brand-exclusive show in this era.

SmackDown Live was on fire in late-2016, with plenty of fun storylines and matches throughout the program. Almost everything worked really well. TLC saw the culmination of some of those stories, while seamlessly continuing a couple of others. Randy Orton joining The Wyatt Family seemed like a very temporary oddity, until he captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championships alongside Bray Wyatt. The two of them terrorized Heath Slater and Rhyno to win the belts, before Nikki Bella ended her feud with Carmella by beating her in a No DQ match.

Baron Corbin defeated Kalisto in what might be regarded as the most entertaining Chairs Match of all time, before Alexa Bliss won her first championship in WWE by defeating Becky Lynch in a Tables Match. The Miz and Dolph Ziggler ended their rivalry over the Intercontinental Championship at TLC as well, in a Ladder Match that was unfortunately a step or two behind their emotionally-charged encounter at No Mercy. It was still a solid match though. However, the main event was the match that had everybody talking.

AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose put everything on the line in their feud-ending TLC Match for the WWE Championship. There was a host of huge spots involving tables, ladders and you guessed it, chairs. The end came when James Ellsworth tipped a ladder over to send Ambrose crashing through a number of tables and ensuring that Styles retained the title. Let's not get into his logic for doing so. Even with that weird ending, Styles and Ambrose put on a classic that is worthy of headlining any card in the world.

TLC 2016 will be remembered as SmackDown Live in it's prime. It was just a stupendous show from top to bottom, with everything clicking. This may be the greatest brand-exclusive pay-per-view of the modern era.
