TLC 2018: Last Minute Predictions

Chairs Match: Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio

Will this be the end of the rivalry between Mysterio and Orton?

It almost seems like part of the reason they brought Rey Mysterio back was to keep Randy Orton busy between assaults on Jeff Hardy. Both former stars have been victims of Orton since they returned to Smackdown.

The stipulation seems to favour Orton more so than Mysterio, but anyone can swing a chair. Mysterio would have a bigger advantage if this were a ladder match, but alas, it carries the tables stipulation. Orton is always one of the stars who is usually protected throughout the year, especially when the WWE heads into Wrestlemania season.

I'm expecting there to be some high-stakes spot to set Mysterio up to take an 'RKO Outta Nowhere."

Note to the commentators - if we can telegraph when the RKO is coming, it's not out of nowhere.

Prediction: Randy Orton wins.
