WWE TLC 2017 LD: Hopefully Asuka Isn't Sick Too

[Sean Valjean]

I found out about the huge match shake-ups just 15 minutes before the pre-show. In case you're like me, Bray Wyatt's spooky sex change went very south so AJ Styles will face Finn Balor in his stead. You know, because that's not a huge deal or anything.

Roman Reigns gave his haters another reason to loathe him by falling ill and ruining the big Shield reunion this entire show was built around. Curse you, Roman Reigns! Never fear, as Kurt Angle will be replacing Reigns in his first WWE match since 2006. With a neck that barely qualifies as such. In a 5-3 TLC match that involves Braun Strowman. And you thought Shane McMahon was nuts.

Also, feel free to pay your respects to Emma now before her execution.

Also, is there any reason why the only gimmick match of the show is the main event? That's unheard of for TLC.

I'm fine with it though. That hell in a cell with 3 "Main events" was pretty bad. It's nice when WWE has one really huge match. Especially without Lesnar / Reigns. I like them, but it's refreshing to see this huge match Miz kind of initiated.

Doesn't the pre-show panel typically have four people? Did someone else get sick?!

I don't know, Styles v Balor would have made a great Stairs match.


I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

Miz's giant zipper would make Tetsuya Nomura orgasm.

Holy crap...NXT War Games? How cool is that?

 

[Sean Valjean]

Elias - 1
Jordan - 0

 

[Snugglebites]

Will we ever see all the slides?

 

[Sean Valjean]

AJ must be haggard as hell traveling 18 hours last minute.

This might be the most painful PPV card I've ever seen.

December to Dismember 2006 types of bad.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Fox is amazing.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm a bit behind but pink works really, really well for Sasha. I'm still waiting on a color that doesn't.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Those Shield T Shirts are great.

 

[shafe_41]

Ambrose finally has that attitude back he's lacked forever. Good to see.

 

[Sai the Uganda Guy]

I'm here, but having some internet difficulties so I'll be trying to figure that out before I can start watching the show

 

[Sean Valjean]

Kurt should bust out that sweet hoodie he wore in the Team Angle days.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Should be a great show. Maybe not for Emma, but for everyone else it should be solid.

 

[Wildcat66]

Holy crap that theme for TLC is awesome.

Best of the year.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Poor Emma. Her first PPV one on one will probably end up being a squash.

Thank goodness Asuka's on Raw. Otherwise, she probably would have had to debut against Dolph Ziggler.

 

[Wildcat66]

Here we go. The NXT golden girl is about to debut on the big stage.

Don't screw this up.

 

[BaconBits]

I know it’s not gonna happen, but I totally want Emma to win this one. The IWC meltdowns would be so delicious.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Asuka should kick Emma so hard that actual tweets fly out of her.
