There are several title matches that feature superstars from RAW and SmackDown. Pus, we have the TLC theme going; which means lots of tables, ladders and chairs should be making an appearance throughout the entire pay per view.

Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy vs. Cedric Alexander

They go back and forth with lots of quick moves. Cedric drops Murphy across the ring apron and then hits his finisher. It’s only good for a two count as the champ gets his foot on the bottom rope. The challenger is sent head first into the middle turnbuckle. Murphy’s Law and the title stays put.

Winner: Buddy Murphy

Ladder Match: Elias vs. Bobby Lashley

To win, you must retrieve the guitar hanging above the ring. Lio Rush tries to help Lashley, who is using his strength to toss Elias across ladders. The end sees Elias get to the top of a ladder, where Lio Rush meets him. He shoves Rush off and Elias grabs the guitar for the victory to close the pre-show. After the match, Elias takes a beating from Lashley and Rush. Lashley smashes the guitar over Elias’ back and leaves with Rush.

Winner: Elias

Mixed Match Challenge Finals: Fabulous Truth (R-Truth & Carmella) vs. Mahalicia (Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox)

The winners get the number 30 spot at January’s Royal Rumble match. We get an early dance break, with The Singh Brothers showing their moves. R-Truth and Carmella toss them from the ring. Carmella makes Alicia Fox tap to earn the number 30 spots and a vacation. Apparently R-Truth already picked their vacation spot and it’s WWE Headquaters in Stanford, Connecticut. Carmella doesn’t seem happy.

Winner: Fabulous Truth (R-Truth & Carmella)

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Bar vs. The New Day vs. The Usos

Only two wrestlers are allowed in the ring at once. The Usos hit super kicks on everyone. Lots of double team moves, which includes different teams working together. Kofi Kingston takes out mostly everyone on the outside. Xavier Woods gets caught with a brogue kick by Sheamus while getting back in the ring and The Bar keep their belts.

Winners: The Bar


Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match: Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

Baron Corbin wants referee Heath Slater to make the 10 count and declare him the general manager, but Braun Strowman is here; with his arm in a sling. Strowman reminds Corbin there are no disqualifications. All the people Corbin angered are here with chairs- Apollo, Bobby Roode, Chad Gable, Finn Balor and Slater (who takes off the referee shirt). After a few chair shots, Corbin exits the ring but Kurt Angle meets him at the ramp. They all attack Corbin and Strowman makes the pin with one foot; with Slater putting the referee shirt back on to make the three count.


Winner:Braun Strowman

Tables Match: Natalya vs. Ruby Riott

Lots of outside interference from the Riott Squad. Liv Morgan takes the hit for Ruby Riott, which sees her crash through a table in the hard way.Natalya puts Sarah Logan through another table. The table with the Jim Neidhart logo is brought inside the ring. Natalya puts on her father’s jacket and brings out a table with the image of Ruby on it. They’re on the top rope and Natalya power bombs Ruby through it for the win.

Winner: Natalya

Finn Bálor vs. Drew McIntyre

McIntyre is having a little trouble with his leg, but uses the power to get the better of Balor. When the referee isn’t looking, Dolph Ziggler with a super kick on the outside. McIntyre retaliates and kicks a chair in Ziggler’s face. McIntyre loses focus and Balor is able to get the win.


Winner: Finn Balor


Chairs Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton

There are chairs scattered across ringside. Some cool spots by Mysterio like sliding to the outside with a chair under him. But, then he goes gets crotched onto a chair. Orton tries to drop Mysterio on a bunch of chairs, but he gets caught in a pin.


Winner: Rey Mysterio

RAW Women’s Title-Ronda Rousey versus Nia Jax

It’s time for these two to go at it, the first time they’ve battled over a belt since Alexa Bliss cashed in.

Ronda with an impressive cross body, showing she’s constantly learning new moves.

In the end, Rousey did manage to cinch in the armbar and Nia tapped out.

Winner and still champion, Ronda Rousey

WWE Title Match: Daniel Bryan versus AJ Styles

And with that, it’s time for Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles to clash.


And in a change for the finish, Bryan gets Styles with a roll-up/cradle.

Winner and still champion: Daniel Bryan

Intercontinental Championship: Seth Rollins versus Dean Ambrose

It’s time for this grudge match between former Shield brothers.

And, after a good match, in spite of boring chants…

Winner, and NEW Intercontinental Champion, Dean Ambrose

Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka

The first big spot is sort of a botch as Charlotte barely goes through a table. With Charlotte and Asuka across the announce table, Becky climbs a ladder and jumps off. Asuka moves and Charlotte takes the brunt of the bump, with the table barely breaking. Charlotte could have broken her ribs in that spot. Not like we need more weapons, but a kendo stick is introduced. Charlotte spears Asuka and they almost go through the ringside barricade. Becky is on a table on the outside and Charlotte hits a senton off the top rope. Charlotte and Becky battle atop a ladder and out comes Rousey. She knocks the ladder over and Asuka gets the belt. The crowd is not happy with Rousey.


Winner: Asuka to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion
