This year's TLC pay-per-view is enhanced by a very solid match line-up—in fact, there are several bouts on the card that look set to be tremendous. By the looks of things, WWE is ending the year in some real style.
Seth Rollins vs. John Cena
The main event—which sees John Cena face off against Seth Rollins match—holds great intrigue. Not only does the bout mark the culmination of Cena's great feud with the former Shield member, the star's No. 1 contendership is also on the line.
The performer losing is a very real possibility. WWE may decide that the prospect of yet Brock Lesnar-Cena bout just isn't terribly appealing to fans. And, frankly, it does sound like a rather tiresome main event.
Rollins, too, has emerged as a great heel. Scripting him to lose in the main event of a show when he's gaining momentum just doesn't make any sense.
Really, the result of this main event will go some way to telling fans where the company's priorities are right now. A victory for Cena—and his title shot remaining intact—would indicate that the writers remain solidly behind his push.
It would also mean Rollins is at real risk of being unable to crack the glass ceiling, like so many before him—a rather depressing prospect.
Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt
Dean Ambrose is also scheduled to against Bray Wyatt at the Cleveland show. This program has heated up in recent weeks—both men are showing convincing hatred and passion—and TLC could mark a terrific ending of this storyline.
The bout could be a potential show-stealer especially if WWE gives the two men enough time to go out there and show what they can do.
There’s also an intriguing storyline heading in: On SmackDown, Ambrose suffered what appeared to be a serious neck injury at the hands of Wyatt—although WWE noted days later he has managed to be cleared for active competition. Presumably the company is setting him up to “overcome the odds” at the show.
Indeed, Ambrose emerging victorious from the match seems likely: WWE has got something truly special in him and a big win on pay-per-view would serve to put him in a great position heading into the Royal Rumble.
And provided Wyatt is allowed to look strong in the match there's no reason a loss here has to significantly hinder his career.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Luke Harper
In another match that sounds extremely promising, Dolph Ziggler will attempt to win back his Intercontinental Championship from rising heel Luke Harper in a ladder bout.
While Ziggler may have been the victim of some erratic booking over the past 18 months, his in-ring talent remains as phenomenal as ever. He’s still one of the very best performers on the roster.
Harper too, has improved massively as a wrestler since he debuted in July 2013. He’s really stepped up over the past month as his push increases, too.
Throw in a ladder and fans are virtually guaranteed a thrilling match—the bumps and dives in this match will be out of this world.
