#4 Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods vs. Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander (RAW Tag Team Championship)

Adding to The New Day's long list of stellar pay-per-view tag team matches, this tag title contest at TLC was hot right from the start. An incredible flurry on Cedric Alexander saw Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods nearly end the match instantly. However, the young star managed to weather the storm.

Shelton Benjamin was excellent at TLC, proving to be the glue that stuck everything together for The Hurt Business. He showed how good he really is in several different spots, particularly when he caught Kingston mid-air when he leaped up for the Boom Drop. His superplex proved vital as well.

Alexander ended up scoring the victory at TLC, which sees The Hurt Business with the United States and RAW tag team titles. This stable truly is one of the best parts of the Red brand and should continue to be a highlight as 2020 turns into 2021.

Grade: A-


#3 Sasha Banks vs. Carmella (SmackDown Women's Championship)

This match was a true Sasha Banks masterclass. She showed up at TLC to have the best match she possibly could, with the results proving just that. Carmella was also really good in her role here, playing the heel challenger who might have had the Champion's number.

Everything that Banks and Carmella did was pretty smooth, as the match got more and more compelling over time. A series of pinfall and submission attempts were countered well, while both Superstars came close to winning on multiple occasions. A double Superkick from Carmella particularly seemed like the finish.

Even the interference from Reginald was well done, with Sasha Banks hitting him with a Meteora. The ending saw The Legit Boss submit Carmella, but not before a tough fight. Put in a tough spot following the insane WWE title TLC Match, the two were able to have one of the better women's matches of 2020.
