#6 2017 (Meningitis Strikes)

Better than planned?
Better than planned?

TLC 2017 had a similar issue to TLC 2013, in that there was only one TLC-related match on the card: A 5-on-3 Handicap Match pitting The Shield against The Miz, The Bar, Braun Strowman and Kane. However, meningitis struck the RAW locker room and WWE was forced to make some changes to the top matches. Roman Reigns was replaced by Kurt Angle, making his WWE in-ring return after 11 years and becoming a de-facto member of The Shield.

That main event was good, if a little long. The other big change came in the Sister Abigail vs Pumpkin Demon match. Bray Wyatt caught the illness and was taken out, with WWE calling upon AJ Styles to save the day. The match that he and Finn Balor shared was excellent, ranking as one of the greatest WWE dream matches of this generation. However, we will never know what WWE had planned for Bray Wyatt's Sister Abigail alter-ego.

Aside from the top two matches, we saw the main roster debut of Asuka, who defeated Emma just days before she was released by the company. TLC 2017 may go down as one of the strangest WWE pay-per-views ever, because of the circumstances surrounding it and the changes that the company was forced to make just days before the show.
