#4 2018 (The Empress Reigns)
Last year's TLC event had twelve matches, including the pre-show. So naturally, at least a couple would have impressed. Luckily, there were more than a couple good matches. The show kicked off with the Mixed Match Challenge Finals, as R-Truth and Carmella punched their tickets to the final spot in their respective Royal Rumble matches. Solid matches involving Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio also helped the consistency of the card.
Daniel Bryan defended his WWE Championship in an excellent match against AJ Styles, one that would have been the main event had it had a stipulation attached to it. However, the one thing that bogs TLC 2018 down from the top spots is the supremely disappointing Intercontinental Championship match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Everything between the two after Ambrose's shocking heel turn was a massive letdown, with this match being no different.
The night did end on a much more positive note, as Becky Lynch faced off against Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a Triple Threat TLC Match for her SmackDown Women's Championship in the main event. It was another really fun match on the show, with Asuka getting the huge win thanks to an assist from Ronda Rousey. Even with the interference, this match and victory will remain memorable as a solid ending to the progressive 2018 for the women of WWE, if nothing else.
