This is the 3rd of 4 topics I will be doing in the near future regarding the PPV events that did not feature a World Heavyweight Championship match during Brock Lesnar's recent reign.
This past December we saw something odd take place. WWE had a PPV event that did NOT feature a World Heavyweight Championship match. The event felt incredibly incomplete, as did the 3 other PPV events where Brock Lesnar did not defend his title. The whole point of being a wrestler is (kayfabe) to win a World Championship and when others have had the title taken away from them when they did not defend it it was ridiculous for WWE to go an entire PPV cycle, let alone doing this for as many as FOUR events.
Here are the results from the event:
0. The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) (with Xavier Woods) defeated Gold and Stardust in a Tag team match (11:56)
1. Dolph Ziggler defeated Luke Harper (c) in a Ladder match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship (16:42)
2. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) defeated The Miz and Damien Mizdow (c) by disqualification in a Tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship (7:22)
3. Big Show defeated Erick Rowan in a Steel Stairs match (11:14)
4. John Cena defeated Seth Rollins (with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) in a Tables match where if Cena lost, he would have lost his #1 Contender status for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (23:34)
5. Nikki Bella (c) (with Brie Bella) defeated AJ Lee in a singles match for the WWE Divas Championship (7:38)
6. Ryback defeated Kane in a chairs match (9:50)
7. Rusev (c) (with Lana) defeated Jack Swagger by submission in a Singles match for the WWE United States Championship (4:50)
8. Bray Wyatt defeated Dean Ambrose in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (26:58)
So, for the purposes of discussion in this thread you are to come up with a World Heavyweight Championship match for the TLC 2014 event. Would you have had Brock Lesnar defend it? Would he be stripped of the title due to his not appearing at this show at the actual event? You may make a match between anyone who was currently active on the roster at that time. Feel free to re-book the entire card also if you wish, but in order for your post to remain on-topic you must address what to do about the World Championship match and don't forget to provide a reason for why you booked it the way you did.
What would your version of TLC 2014 have been like? What would the World Heavyweight Championship match have been and why?
