WWE Rumor Roundup: Top Champion to lose title, TLC match cancelled, Robert Roode suspension update - 13th December 2019

#5. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens TLC match possibly nixed

A TLC match between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens looked like a no-brainer for TLC going by the build-up on TV. It was also reported a few days ago that the match was part of the internal listings for the show.

However, the plan seems to have been changed.

The match is now unlikely to happen, as revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer revealed that the match was not scheduled to be added to the TLC card as of this Tuesday.

The change of plans could have a lot to do with Seth Rollins breaking his little finger in a match against Erick Rowan at a recent house show. Rollins was pulled from his match on RAW and a full-fledged heel turn was booked which also included AOP and Rollins teaming up to attack Kevin Owens.

KO had to be taken out of the arena in an ambulance and it's highly unlikely that he returns from the storyline injury within six days.

Instead of a match, it was noted that the WWE could book an angle at TLC or the RAW after the PPV to take the storyline forward.

While Rollins is expected to be cleared to wrestle, the match against Owens, as of this writing, may not be featured on the final TLC card.
