The Natural Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Predictions: Charlotte Flair wins the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Title. Tough call this as I can see Becky and Asuka also winning. AJ Styles wins by DQ or countout to get a rematch at the Royal Rumble. Dean Ambrose is the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. Ronda Rousey retains the WWE RAW Women's Championship. The Bar retain the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Titles. Buddy Murphy defends the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Braun Strowman. Don't care. Drew McIntyre. Rey Mysterio. Elias. R-Truth and Carmella. Ruby Riott.

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Buddy Murphy vs. Cedric Alexander right now...
RIPPA Posted December 16, 2018 Author Posted December 16, 2018 Guess they changed their mind on the MMC Lashley/Elias is the other kickoff match
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 I'm confused. I'll probably be saying that a lot tonight.
Jiji Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Charlotte looked like she died on that awful looking ass-based senton off the ladder through the announcers' table.

I booed out loud at first but it makes so much sense booking-wise that I think it's fine. That match had me trembling. It was fucking glorious. Charlotte's spear on Asuka through the barrier was the fastest I've ever seen a horrifying wall of muscle come at something. 3
Raziel Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Seven hells, I think Seth/Dean might still be going on. 1 4 1
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Maybe this is the new norm. Dreadful television and awesome PPVs? Survivor Series was great. TLC was fantastic outside of maybe one or two matches, everything else delivered. 2
hammerva Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 That main event was everything Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins wasn't

CastleVania Rey Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Wow. Everything on the card was good to great. Not a single bad match from pre-show start to main show end. WWE PPV of the year. One of the best WWE PPVs of the decade I think. EDIT: Portions bolded so people pay proper attention. 1
Doragon Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Seth Vs Dean was too long, think there was a this is boring chant. Disappointed Asuka won. Guess she was too hungryyyy for the belt to lose. Ronda tweening it up eh.
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 "I HAVE UNTIL 5!" and also a fucking small package finish. Welcome back AD. Fantastic match with a clean finish. Women's TLC was great as expected.. Luger/Bret with Charlotte and Becky? Or they going Ronda vs. Becky and Charlotte vs. Asuka II? 3
piranesi Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Just now, hammerva said: That main event was everything Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins wasn't Apart from the match being dull, that may have been the worst announcing I've ever heard. Like, not bad in an incompetent or crazy way, but so distracting and heat-killing to spend at least 15 minutes talking about how quiet Dean is around the house. Like, if you have this liability in the booking that Renee is married to Dean, maybe acknowledge it and move on but don't shine a spotlight on it and make the entire match about it. Unless you're going to bring Renee into it...which they are probably stupid enough to do. 1 2
Peck Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Hope Charlotte isn't planning on having any children eventually. Ouch. Phenomenal match though. MR. SMALL PACKAGE!!!
sydneybrown Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 AAAAAAASSSSUUUUUKKKKKAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Happiest I've been for a title win in a long time. There's no doubt in my mind. Singles, triple threat, fatal four way...the women are headlining WrestleMania. 1
The Man Known as Dan Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Are we 100% sure that Charlotte is Ric Flair's daughter and not Terry Funks? All 3 of the people in the main are crazy people and I love em for it. Bryan/Styles was great. Everything was good save for the absolutely abysmal Rollins/Ambrose match. 4 3

John from Cincinnati Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I haven’t been watching a lot lately so the criticism I’d seen of Graves was falling on deaf ears. But when he quipped about Dean’s staph that “I prefer washing” or something, I swear Rene was shooting him a death glare in the silence that followed. 2
Greggulator Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 The woman’s match delivered so so so so much. All three of Becky, Charlotte and Asuka emote so well. There was not one point of that match where it felt choreographed. TLC matches are, by nature, the most choreographed of stupulations. They looked like they wanted to both win the title and hurt each other. Rousey’s interference was perfect. It gets them to the next part of the story. I am guessing we are headed to a three way dance woman’s match the will very likely headline WM. That is awesome. And maybe a resurgent Asuka gets there too? It is wild. Anytime I watch the women I feel like I am watching something Important. People crapped on the debut of the Revolution all those years ago. The war has been won. The women’s division is the best wrestling in the WWE right now and are putting everyone else to shame. 7
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Ronda reminds me so much of when Kurt came in. A super athlete who gets it right away. She was awesome again with Nia. Yeah, Rollins vs. Ambrose was the one weak match on the card. The work was... fine.. I guess but everything from the announcing and the layout of what was supposed to be a blood brawl was just terrible. It reminded me of when Orton fought Hunter at WM and they proceeded to have this super long boring match after months of hate. 2
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 2 minutes ago, S.K.o.S. said: Oh, this please. And have the extra even-up match be against Shayna Baszler. Yes. I mean what do they have to lose? The women are by far the best stuff on both shows. Give me more Ronda, more Becky, more Asuka, More Charlotte. I'd say more Sasha but you know that won't happen. 4
