I'll update this match by match, so if you don't want to get spoiled, stop reading.
s usual didn't watch the preshow, but they're currently in the midfle of Lashley vs Elias. Actually, I kind of wanted to see this one so it pisses me off they put it on the preshow. Fun match so far. Elias wins it giving Lashley a spine buster into a ladder set up in the corner and then knocking off Leo Rush to grab the ladder. Lashley then overpowers Elias and hits him hard in the back with tbe guitar. I always wonder why they don't just have the heel win if he's just going to kick the face's ass and stand tall over him after the match anyway.

So apparently the opener was the CW title match where my fellow Aussie Buddy Murphy retained. Apparently it was quite a good match, but I didn't see it. I finally worked out what Coachman's role is: he's a parody of Dave Meltzer as he tells us in the pre show "I don't know if anyone has ever got OVER organically like Becky Lynch has." Because apparently the WWE want us to know this is all a work and people are pushed. Whatever...

Carmella and R-Truth defeated Jinder and Alicia to win the mixed match challenge in a comedy match. Fine for what it was. Truth was fighting Mahal and the Shingh bros outside the ring, Carmella countered out of a pin attempt into the Cone of Silence. Truth announced that they would have their all expenses paid holiday at WWE Headquarters. Carmella wasn't entirely happy with that choice. Those two are fun together. Hope they keep the pairing.

The Bar retained the SD titles in a short but fun triple threat match. It was one of those matches where only two men could be legal and the third team had to tag in. Sheamus got the pin after hitting a Brogue kick on Woods after Kofi had dived on top of Cesaro and the Usos.

Every babyface on the RAW roster apart from.Rollins beat tbe shit out of Baron Corbin. He tried to leave but was stopped by a returning Kurt Angle. Braun Strowman, with his arm in a sling, could pick up the 3 count by putting his boot on Corbin's chest. Slater took his referee shirt off and joined in the beatdown before putting it back on to count the 3. Crowd was into it so as an angle it worked well. They announced Strowman vs Brock for the Rumble.

Mainly because Braun couldn't wrestle the match I'd say.
Natalya put each of the Riott squad through a different table to defeat Ruby Riott. She put on the Neidhart jacket in the closing stages and countered an attempted top rope hurracanrana into a power bomb through a table with a life size photo of Runy Riott on it. The Jim Neidhart table was left intact. Not a bad match given the cringey build up and stipulation. About as good as it was going to be.

Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre thanks to an assist from Dolph Ziggler. Mcintyre destroyed Balor on the outside and then threw him back into the ring. Ziggler then came from the crowd and super kicked Drew. Drew went to town on Ziggler, threw him into the ring and tried to hit him with a chair. Balor kicked the chair into Drew's face then hit the coup de gras for the pin.

Rey pinned Randy in a decent match. Couple of good spots where Rey used the chair as a boogie board to slide out of the ring onto Orton. Finish was Orton setting up 4 chairs to attempt an RKO. Mysterio got out of the hold, hit Orton with an Enziguri face first into the chair. Orton stumbled and ended up sitting dazed on one of the chairs. Mysterio got him in a roll up for the 3.

Rousey beat Nia Jax with the arm bar in spite of inteference from Tamina. Jax went for the right hand face breaker. Rousey grabbed her arm and eventually was able to apply the arm bar. Average match.
Beck Lynch confronted Nia backstage after the match and punched her in the face.

Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles with a roll up pin. Heck of a match. Best of the night so far.
The just had a backstage interview with Rousey where they asked her about meeting Charlotte Flair again. Looks like Becky vs Nia and Ronda vs Chsrlotte at Mania.

Dean Ambrose beat Seth Rollins in a long match that paled into comparision to the one just before. You know the drill, Rollins gets a knee knock early, sells it for 20 minutes. Ambrose hits a dirty deeds out of nowhere and gets the clean pin. I'm over Rollins injuring his knee in every match. I'm over these two wrestling together. This feud sucks.

Asuka won the women's title after Ronda Rousey interfered. With Becky and Charlotte on the same ladder, Ronda pushed it over taking them both out and leaving Asuka to claim the match. The crowd was into all 3 and gave Asuka a nice reaction after her win.
All up quite a good show. One of the best WWE matches of the year, nothing really bad and set up some stuff for down the track.

Looks like Becky vs Nia and Ronda vs Chsrlotte at Mania. I'll be extremely disappointed if that's the route they take. I think after the TLC Match and Ronda cost both Becky and Charlotte the title I think we're going to see a wonky finish to the womens rumble where it's down to Charlotte and Becky and either they tie or something happens where the loser has a reason to believe that they were robbed and it will lead to a triple threat against Rousey at Mania. No clue what Nia does nor do I really care. I think Becky will feud with Nia but I don't think it'll last all the way til Mania. Maybe she faces her at Royal Rumble or the PPV between Rumble and Mania and then it's just done as she moves on towards Rousey. Not capitalizing on Becky/Rousey would be a mistake in my mind. That feud leading up to Survivor Series got a lot of excitement so if they just pass on involving Becky in the Rousey match at Mania it'll be very disappointing. |

TLC seemed REALLY slow tonight. For an event that's supposed to have tables, ladders, and chairs it wasn't all that exciting. The Bryan vs Styles match was very good and I liked the roll up surprise win ending for Bryan. The Womens Triple Threat TLC match was pretty entertaining. I am wondering whether or not Charlotte broke some ribs thought because that ladder/announce table spot where Becky leg dropped her looked awkward. Becky's ass landed directly on Charlotte's stomach full weight and everything and the table didn't exactly have a clean break. It looked bad but if she did break some ribs then kudos to her for finishing the match.
The rest of the show was just meh and mostly boring. Ambrose vs Rollins especially. I'm more interested in Ambrose because of his heel turn but damn he sure was quick to remind me that I just don't enjoy his matches what so ever even when he's in the ring with a top notch performer like Rollins. They just never seem to connect with me when he's in one on one matches. So yeah it wasn't an entertaining match and to top it off it was like 20 minutes. I think I almost fell asleep a couple times during it.
We'll see what Vince does tomorrow night on RAW. I'm getting a sense that Becky and Charlotte get moved to RAW while maybe Sasha and Bayley go to Smackdown. Given Becky's popularity atm he'll want her on RAW asap I think.

Yep, it looks like they're headed for a Triple Threat match for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania - Becky vs Charlotte vs Ronda. |
