TLC Fallout Cont.

After Carmella was defeated by Nikki Bella in a No Disqualification Match at TLC, she had revealed who it was that attacked Bella at Survivor Series. The injury rendered Bella unable to compete in the in the elimination match against Team Raw. Natalya, conveniently took Bella’s spot in the match. Look for the Fearless One in confronting Natalya on Tuesday night.

New SmackDown Tag Team Champions were crowned at TLC as well this weekend. The Wyatt Family, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton were able to defeat the champions, Rhyno and Heath Slater. An RKO out of nowhere was the ultimate undoing for Beauty and the Man Beast, as Rhyno was then pinned 1-2-3. Slater and Rhyno will be owed a rematch, though it is likely we will see American Alpha put into the title picture in the very near future. I would not be surprised if Slater and Rhyno invoke their rematch clause for next week.

Another feud that will likely ignite further either this week or the coming weeks, is that of Apollo Crews and Curt Hawkins. The two were involved in a 10-man tag team match during the pre-show of TLC. These to have minced words in recent weeks and appears to be headed for something much larger. With what SmackDown Live has been able to do with developing feuds since the brand split, I have no worries about them trying to make a compelling rivalry between these two in the weeks to come.
