WWE TLC 2019: Final Match Card Predictions
By Mark Justice
Aleister Black vs. Buddy Murphy [Grudge Match]
This minor feud began simply because Buddy Murphy knocked on Aleister Black’s door to taunt him for a future challenge. In recent weeks, they have gained momentum with impressive knee strike victories in their own individual matches, attempting to make statements to each other.
Considering that there is nothing special about this feud other than the fact that many WWE fans desperately want to see these two wrestle inside the squared circle, this match will most likely be relegated to the kickoff show at TLC. If this match does occur on PPV, Aleister Black would evidently pick up the victory against the former Cruiserweight Champion.
Like Cedric Alexander, Drew Gulak, Mustafa Ali, and Humberto Carillo, Murphy is unfortunately a cruiserweight who will very likely be buried on the main roster. Meanwhile, Black has been booked as an unstoppable force since the inception of his Monday Night Raw debut and is not losing anytime soon.
Prediction: Aleister Black
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville [Tag Match]
Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, Nikki Cross defeated Sonya Deville but was subjected to a post-match attack by Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. Alexa Bliss made her epic return from shoulder injury to save Cross from such an ambush and build up to the Women’s Tag Team Championship match at WWE Starrcade 2019.
This week on Friday Night SmackDown, Alexa Bliss ‘lashed’ out at Mandy Rose. Based on these past two matches, it seems that these superstars are building up to a tag team match at the TLC PPV. Besides, it is very unlikely that a superstar like Alexa Bliss would make such an epic return and not be booked on the card for WWE TLC 2019.
Considering that they failed to win back the Women’s Tag Team Championships at WWE Starrcade 2019, expect them to gain their momentum back with a quick victory against Rose and Deville on the kickoff show. All hope is lost when it comes to Rose and Deville winning matches anymore, so it is quite inevitable that Bliss and Cross will come out of this potential match victorious.
Hopefully, this victory will assist them in obtaining another Women’s Tag Team Championship opportunity in the near future. If they avoid the temptation of breaking up and kickstarting a feud on the road to WrestleMania, they can soon achieve their ultimate goal of becoming the first ever two-time Women’s Tag Champs.
Prediction: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross
