WWE invades The Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota this Sunday night for their final pay-per-view of 2019 and even though there are only seven matches officially announced for the show, it already looked as though it will be the perfect bookend for 2019 for WWE.
WWE's annual TLC event has a history of seeing several Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches, but there have only been two announced for this weekend's show as well as a Tables match which should see Rusev and Bobby Lashley finally resolve their issues surrounding Lana.
King Corbin and Roman Reigns have reached the point of no return this weekend in their TLC match, whilst both The New Day and The Revival renew their feud over the RAW Tag Team Championships.

This is WWE's 11th TLC event and here are some little-known facts that every member of the WWE Universe should know heading into the event.
#5 Aleister Black, The Revival, Kairi Sane, and The Viking Raiders make their debuts at TLC
Aleister Black battles Buddy Murphy whilst Kairi Sane and The Viking Raiders defend their respective Tag Team Championships and The Revival look to claim the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, but all six of these stars are stepping into the ring for the first time at TLC.
It will be interesting to see if any of these debutants can come out on top on Sunday night since there are a lot of odds stacked against them. Kairi Sane walks into her first-ever TLC match as she teams with Asuka to defend their Women's Tag Team Championship, whilst The Revival take on The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships and The Viking Raiders issue an open challenge for their titles.
Aleister Black also steps into the ring with one of his toughest opponents to date in Buddy Murphy, but it could still be a match that could steal the show.
#4 The RAW Tag Team Championships have never been defended at TLC
The Viking Raiders announced earlier this week that they would be issuing an open challenge for the RAW Tag Team Championships this weekend at TLC, which will be the first time that the titles have been defended as part of the show.
Ever since the official brand split back in 2016 when SmackDown went live on a Tuesday night and the two brands then had their own titles, the belts have never been defended at a TLC pay-per-view. SmackDown's Championships have been defended numerous times over the past few years, but RAW's have never been brought into storylines for the final pay-per-view of the year until now and even so, The Viking Raiders are yet to be given their opponents for the show.
On the same note, this is the first time that the SmackDown, RAW and Women's Tag Team Championships have been defended on a TLC pay-per-view. This isn't that much of a huge fact though since The Women's Tag Team Championships were only introduced back at Elimination Chamber, which means that this is the first TLC event where this could have happened.
#3 This is the first match between Bray Wyatt and The Miz on WWE TV
Bray Wyatt seemingly puts his mask to one side this weekend at TLC and leaves the Firefly Fun House to take on The Miz in his first one-on-one match in more than a year. Wyatt has been performing as The Fiend over the past few months but has decided to revert back to his original persona in order to battle The Miz.
Interestingly despite having their issues over the years, Bray Wyatt and The Miz have never crossed paths on WWE TV. The duo were part of a feud back in 2013 when The Miz was attacked backstage by The Wyatt Family after he tried to help Kofi Kingston in his match against the stable, but this never led to a one-on-one match.
This weekend is the first time that Wyatt has stepped out of The Firefly Fun House and it's unknown why he has decided to take off his mask for this match, but once again it's a match that Wyatt has been building towards for most of his career. Interestingly as with many of his recent opponents, Wyatt has unfinished business with The Awesome One.
#2 This isn't the first women's TLC match
This weekend at TLC, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair team up to take on The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the Women's Tag Team Championships.
Whilst this is the first time the Women's Tag Team Championships have been defended in a stipulated match and the first women's TLC tag team match, it's not the first time the women have competed in this kind of match at TLC.
Just last year three out of the four women in this match competed in TLC's main event. Becky Lynch defended the SmackDown Women's Championship against Asuka and Charlotte Flair in San Jose, California where Asuka was able to come out on top when Ronda Rousey involved herself in the match and cost Becky Lynch her Championship, heading into the Royal Rumble and their subsequent match at WrestleMania.
The women easily stole the show last year and if they are given the chance to main event the show again on Sunday night, then it's easy to see the Women's Tag Team Championships being elevated to a much higher level in the company.
#1 Roman Reigns hasn't appeared at TLC since 2015
Roman Reigns walks into a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match this weekend against Barcon Corbin at TLC, but this is the first time that the former Universal Champion has been part of this pay-per-view in almost four years.
Reigns last appearance was back in 2015 when he competed in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match against Sheamus in the hopes that he would reclaim his WWE Championship.
Sadly, this wasn't the case since Reigns went on to lose the main event match and hasn't appeared at TLC since. In 2016, TLC was a SmackDown exclusive show which meant that Reigns wasn't part of the event since he was a RAW superstar at the time.
The following year, Reigns was one of the stars who was taken out of action due to illness a few days prior and he had to be replaced in the main event by Kurt Angle, who helped Ambrose and Rollins to victory in a 5-on-3 handicap match. Last year Reigns was also missing from the show since he announced that he was struggling with leukemia just weeks ahead of the show.
