4. Ellsworth Distracts Styles for Ambrose Win

Considering the momentum that Ellsworth has developed in the last few months, he could be a major factor in how the TLC match ends. It also could be the best, and most likely, chance for the Lunatic Fringe to reclaim the WWE World Championship. Depending on how it’s done, it could help continue the rivalry between Styles and Ellsworth moving forward into the Royal Rumble.

Styles could spend parts of the match attacking Ellsworth in an attempt to have him removed from the equation. Maybe one spot could include Styles placing Ambrose in the Tree of Woe in one corner before doing a baseball slide to Ellsworth on the opposite side of the ring. The Phenomenal One could also use the weapons against Ellsworth more often in hopes he’s not a curse at the end.

This could then lead to him taking his eyes off of Ambrose as he has a number of close calls to grabbing the championship above the ring. Styles could spend most of the match staying one step ahead of Ambrose. But he could end up giving Ambrose too many close calls before one leads to him winning the title.

The final moments of the match could see Styles beating up Ellsworth outside the ring before attempting to stop Ambrose. Only Ellsworth would grab onto his leg to prevent him from getting into the ring.
