I was expecting to see Kevin jumping of the cage over Shane damn I even was expecting to see Shane going through the cell into the ring just like The Undertaker did with Mankind years ago but damn never expected what Sami has done, can't fucking wait to see what will happen next Tuesday, Owens as a face would be awesome but Sami as a Heel never came into my mind, the fuck this is brilliant :o

TLC is gonna be a weird, but hopefully wild show this week. There's been a big meningitis issue at WWE lately, with more than a few missing shows. It's gotten so bad, that Reigns is getting pulled and replaced with...THE RETURN OF KURT ANGLE?! WHAT?! Also with Bray out, that means Balor is getting a new opponent, who is...AJ STYLES?! WHAT?! I'm still confused on the point of the Shield battle for Miz, Kane, Strowman, Cesaro, and Sheamus, it's a weird 5 on 3 fight, with maybe someone else coming in? I'm all in for Kurt though.
We are also getting the RAW debut of Asuka, so that's at least 3 matches I really want to see.

For me this has become quite interesting, not only because I really want to know how the hell the writters are going to fix this mess also don't have to say that the match between Balor and Styles is gonna be pretty good neither that I have never expected to see Angle with the Shield, honestly I wasn't interesed in this PPV but now it has all my attention ;D

I feel there's a chance that Kurt Angle might not wrestle, because it's such a kind of throwaway thing for them to with him and not something they built, as cool as it sounds, and it would be wasted in a match where he'll likely get stomped. Maybe there will be shenanigans, or a surprise save, because they kinda have to have a save with it being 3 on 5 and one of which is Strowman. Maybe they can spin this as a way to get Kurt into some actual matches against someone.

I was about 60% right about Kurt not wrestling in this lol
Also, maybe I'm just forgetting past TLC shows, but did the other ones have no actual TLC outside of one match? Why have a gimmick show if there's only one match with the shows namesake? It wasn't till the main event that I realized there was nothing going on with the actual TLC.
Other than that, this show was mostly good. If anything, it was consistent as there really wasn't a bad match outside of maybe Banks vs Fox being kinda boring, along with Elias vs Jordan. Styles vs Balor was real solid, Asuka vs Emma was the squash that was expected, but it's good to see Asuka on the main show. Everything else was fine.
The Shield vs Miz and Gang was good here and there, but the pacing wasn't great. More than a few points where it felt like the show came to a crawl, but there was one part later on that I sorta love it simply on the idea and look of it alone. I'm kinda wondering if not having Reigns here caused them to kinda rush to choreograph a different show to some degree. Overall, I had some fun with it, even if it had some issues.
Braun Strowman continues to be the best though.
