WWE Survivor Series is now done and dusted and the WWE Universe will now their attention towards the final PPV of 2018, TLC.

The event has been one of the company's strongest shows in recent years and promises to be a great way to wrap up the 2018 PPV calendar.

This will also be the last PPV before the WWE turns their full attention to the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season, so picking up a big victory at the show can help give a superstar some serious momentum heading into the company's biggest time of the year.

One match has already been announced for the event where Seth Rollins will face Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Title, so let's take a look at what other matches we could be seeing at TLC.

The Bar vs The Usos- SmackDown Tag-Team Championship

SmackDown got absolutely destroyed 5-1 at Survivor Series, so it would make sense if the one team who picked up a victory for the blue brand were rewarded in some way.

The Usos defeated The Revival in the final stretch on the pre-show tag-team match, and have not received any sort of significant tag-team title match since they got squashed by The Bludgeon Brothers at WrestleMania.

These two teams are two of the best tag-teams in the WWE, and while The Bar's current association with The Big Show isn't really doing them any favours, they are still exceptional workers and this could make for the perfect hot opener.

Ronda Rousey vs Nia Jax

Ronda Rousey is one of the most wanted women in the WWE right now. Following Charlotte Flair's vicious attack on the Raw Women's Champion at Survivor Series, the former UFC star now has Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Nia Jax all baying for her blood.

The latter of these three women is likely to be the first to get a shot at Rousey, given that she earned herself a title shot at Evolution by winning the women's battle royal match.

Jax and Rousey also have unfinished business, with their previous encounter at Money in the Bank this year being brought to an abrupt end when Alexa Bliss cashed in her briefcase to steal Jax's belt from her.

Rousey will pick up the victory here, and march on towards WrestleMania looking incredibly strong.

Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton- US Championship

Rey Mysterio is set to face Shinsuke Nakamura at the WWE's upcoming Starrcade special, and given how poorly Nakamura has been booked in recent months, having him drop the belt at the event doesn't seem like too much of a bad idea.

Mysterio has looked great since he made his return at SmackDown 1000, and the former World Heavyweight Champion is more than capable of having a solid run with the belt.

Whether the belt is involved or not, though, it seems inevitable that Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton will lock horns sooner or later.

Orton has been making Mysterio's life a misery in recent weeks, blindsiding him with RKOs on a regular basis, and The Master of the 619 is going to want a chance to get revenge. With Survivor Series done and dusted, the feud between these two men can finally be settled.

Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin- TLC Match

With Strowman picking up the victory for Raw against Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, the former Mr Money in the Bank has earned himself a match with Baron Corbin, in whatever stipulation he chooses.

Of course, with TLC being the name of the event, there is every chance Strowman will choose that match-type to inflict punishment upon his opponent.

The WWE could choose to go down a number of angles here though, they could either have Strowman squash Corbin or have Drew McIntyre or someone else come out and help Corbin to a surprise victory, in turn, setting up a program for Strowman over WrestleMania season.

Jeff Hardy and Charlotte vs The Miz and Asuka

Could The Miz and Asuka win Mixed Match Challenge for a second time?
Could The Miz and Asuka win Mixed Match Challenge for the second time?

This past week on Mixed Match Challenge, Jeff Hardy replaced AJ Styles following Styles' loss to Daniel Bryan on SmackDown Live, and there is every chance that the WWE might just replace Styles in the tournament going forward, given that he is likely to have a program with Bryan throughout December.

While The Miz and Asuka may have tasted their first defeat on the show this week, the duo still have plenty of time to rally back and secure their place in the final, and given that there is every chance The Miz will face Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, he and Asuka could pick up their second straight MMC trophy here, and go on to enter their respective Royal Rumbles at number 30.

Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles- Ladder Match for WWE Championship

Daniel Bryan's victory against AJ Styles was one of the biggest shocks in recent memory, and The Phenomenal One is not likely to take his defeat lying down.

Styles will get a rematch at some point or another, and putting these two men in the main-event slot of TLC, potentially with some sort of stipulation, could help SmackDown see 2018 out with a bang.

Of course, Bryan will pick up the victory here, but the WWE could even use the opportunity to start building some sort of feud for AJ Styles at WrestleMania.

As for Bryan, all signs point towards the bearded GOAT taking on his long-time nemesis, The Miz, at Wrestlemania 35.
