WWE TLC 2018: Star Rating for Every Match in the PPV

#4 The Bar defeated The New Day and the Usos in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships

Cesaro with a rest hold on Woods

The three very talented tag teams, namely the Bar, the New Day and the Usos delivered a fun match with lots of impressive spots.

The Usos super kicking everyone, Cesaro intercepting one of the Usos with an uppercut when he was about to perform a leap over the top rope and Kofi's jump on to the outside were all very well timed and well executed.

The finish saw Sheamus Brogue kick Xavier Woods for the pinfall. The Bar is thus still the tag team champions heading into 2019.

Rating: 3.25*

#5 Braun Strowman def\eated Baron Corbin in a TLC Match to earn a Universal Title opportunity against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view

Babyfaces of Raw beating up Corbin

From a pure result point of view, this match gave exactly what most people wanted. However, talking about the match itself, it was a disappointment.

Braun Strowman is injured, hence, unable to compete, thus, he assembled a group of smiling babyfaces from Raw who would beat Corbin for him.

This included Finn Balor, Gable and Roode, Apollo Crews and Kurt Angle who beat Corbin up with chairs being assisted even by referee Heath Slater.

Strowman than triumphantly pinned Corbin after a Coup the Grace from Balor. McIntyre and Lashley, Corbin's buddies were nowhere to be found.

Even the AOP didn't come to help him. This could have lead to so much of enjoyable carnage with tables, ladders, and chairs but, for some reason, they chose not to show up.

This match would have delivered varying degrees of guilty or non-guilty pleasure to many fans who so Corbin get destroyed, but, from a logical and match quality point of view, it was very poor.

Rating: 1*
