WWE TLC 2018 will feature Raw’s Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose clashing for the Intercontinental Championship, as well as SmackDown’s Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles facing off for the WWE Championship. Also, the first ever women’s TLC match is finally happening. All of the championship titles, except Brock Lesnar’s Universal title, should be on the line at this PPV.
On Raw’s side of things at WWE TLC 2018, Seth Rollins will be defending his Intercontinental Title against his former Shield brother, Dean Ambrose. Ronda Rousey will be defending her title against Nia Jax, who won a battle royal at the first women’s PPV, Evolution, to earn this opportunity.
The Authors of Pain will most likely be defending their Raw Tag Titles against Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, who has had some urinary-related issues with Drake Maverick as of late.
Finally, according to Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, Braun Strowman is indeed scheduled to face Constable Corbin in a TLC match, in which Universal Title No. 1 contendership, as well as Constable Corbin’s authority on Raw, are on the line. However, Braun’s elbow injury could change these plans, and we could have a faction war in the main event of this PPV instead, with Corbin assembling heel talent on his side.
On SmackDown, WWE Champion Daniel Bryan will be defending his title against AJ Styles, who has invoked his rematch clause. SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her title in a triple threat TLC match against Charlotte Flair and Asuka, who recently won a battle royal on SmackDown Live. The Usos defeated SmackDown Tag Champs The Bar on SmackDown Live, so they will most likely get a title shot at this PPV.
U.S. Champion Shinsuke Nakamura attacked Rusev recently on SmackDown Live, so they will probably feud for the title one more time. In terms of non-title feuds, Samoa Joe-Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton-Rey Mysterio seem to be plausible enough for the card based on current build ups.
Raw and SmackDown will clash for one match at this PPV for the mixed match challenge finals, in which the best mixed tag from Raw will face off against the best mixed tag from SmackDown. The winners will earn a vacation as well as the #30 spots in their respective men’s and women’s royal rumbles in January. Without further ado, let’s predict the TLC card as well as the winners for each match.
