WWE TLC Results
  • On the preshow, Akira Tozawa won the 24/7 Championship with a roll up after R-Truth (c) tried to run away by climbing up a tiny ladder backstage.
  • The New Day (c) defeated The Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin) when New Day hit The Midnight Hour on Cedric Alexander to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Titles.
  • Sasha Banks (c) defeated Carmella by disqualification to retain the Smackdown Women’s Title after Carmella’s sommelier handed Carmella a bottle that was used as a weapon.
  • Bobby Lashley (c) defeated literal accused rapist Matt Riddle with a roll up after MVP caused a distraction on the ring apron to retain the US title.
  • Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler (c) defeated Asuka and Lana after Baszler put Asuka through a table to retain the Women’s Tag Titles. Baszler then motioned that she wanted the Raw Women’s Title.
  • Randy Orton defeated The Fiend in a Chair Match when The Field quit after Orton threatened to use a chair on Alexa Bliss
  • AJ Styles defeated Drew McIntyre (c) to win the WWE Championship in a TLC Match after Omos just simply lifted AJ into the air until he was high enough to grab the title.
  • Roman Reigns (c) defeated Kevin Owens in a TLC match to retain the Universal Championship.
  • GDT Discussion here.

I can't believe that you would talk about all of that and not mention all of the backstage vignettes and storylines that went down, because excellent storytelling designed to please the fans is what makes the WWE what it is today!

I for one am a fan of the fact that they are finally pulling the trigger on having Rhea Ripley join the main roster: having her come in as Stephanie McMahon's valet for Steph's upcoming run at the Women's title is a great way to ease her into the big time, and I even hear dirtsheet rumours that after the angle is over they're going to let her return to NXT and spend some time helping develop the other talent there by teaching them what she's learned.

All in all it's a great idea, and while I am not sure about her new catchphrase "You're twice the woman I am, Steph", having her wear Chyna's old outfits is a great nod to the WWE's history, and proof that the WWE is thinking about its fans when booking.

Back in my day we closed out lovely years by having Goldust dress up like baby new year and Stone Cold stunnering him in a port-a-potty.
Even a few years ago we had Big Show dressing up as a baby and dancing.

So, uh. This is progress.

I just got done watching that minute long AEW Christmas Story reenactment with MJF and thought "This isn't for me but this is a cute holiday thing and cool that TNT is promoting it". This is aggressively lame and I had to watch the whole thing to make sure it wasn't a parody.

Drew McIntyre/Galloway seems like a cool dude, he's charismatic and has a good look. I don't think history will remember this year of WWE much at all besides the Covid weirdness, but I hope Galloway doesn't get painted with some Diesel-champion failure thing.

Was that Wyatt/Miz match the one where Wyatt was threatening Miz’s wife and baby and then Miz came out for the match doing his usual hollywood poses for his entrance like it was some nothing TV match

And then calmly allowed Wyatt to do his full entrance, and waited for the match to officially start.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

OK, so I saw that New Day had Matt Riddle managing(?) them, or at least at ringside with them for their match vs Hurt Business.

Both Xavier and Kofi seem like nice people who would be against the crime of rape.

So my question is, could one go to management, or whoever is booking the match and say, "We do not want to be associated in any way, even in storyline, with a rapist. Please don't put him in an angle/story with us."?

Raw Results 12/14:
  • Detailed Results here.
  • There will be an “Ascension Ceremony” with Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles tonight ahead of their title match at TLC.
  • The Miz read “The Nightmare Before TLC”, acted by AJ Styles and John Morrison. Sheamus came out wanting to fight AJ.
  • AJ Styles defeated Sheamus in a singles match, then attacked Sheamus with a steel chair afterwards. During the match, Omos (AJ’s giant bodyguard) straight up just interfered and pulled AJ out of a move in front of the referee, which is apparently perfectly legal?
  • The Hurt Business bothered a stagehand.
  • The New Day and Jeff Hardy didn’t mind being bothered backstage by literal accused rapist Matt Riddle.
  • The Hurt Business defeated The New Day and Jeff Hardy in a six man tag.
  • Asuka gave Lana a pep talk backstage about Lana’s match with Nia Jax.
  • Lana defeated Nia Jax in a singles match. In less than 2 minutes.
  • Shayna Baszler laid out Asuka backstage then ran out and attacked Lana, but Asuka recovered and saved her.
  • Elias did a segment with new buddy/bodyguard/fan(?) Jaxson Ryker. R-Truth interrupted, Ryker beat up the 24/7 Jobbers.
  • Backstage, Keith Lee challenged The Miz & Morrison to a handicap match.
  • Miz & Morrison defeated Keith Lee in a handicap match.
  • Bray Wyatt did an in-ring promo and Randy Orton challenged him to a game of hide-and-seek. Cheers are being piped in for Bray Wyatt now so apparently the sadistic supernatural horror monster wearing the stretched flesh of a victim as a mask is a face.
  • Mace defeated Ricochet in a singles match after Mustafa Ali gave him the advice to do another move after the previous move didn’t beat him. Ali and Samoa Joe both openly referenced that Mace was Dio Maddin.
  • Matt Riddle bothered Bray Wyatt backstage, then chatted to Ramblin’ Rabbit.
  • After the attack by Shayna earlier, Lana is no longer teaming with Asuka to challenge for the tag titles on TLC.
  • Dana Brooke defeated Shayna Baszler in a singles match by DQ when Nia just straight up shoved Nia off the top turnbuckle. A returning Mandy Rose ran out and beat up Shayna and Nia with a kendo stick… then Shayna just beat up Rose anyway until Asuka saved her.
  • R-Truth chatted to Huskus the Pig and his father Bray Wyatt backstage.
  • Bray Wyatt found a rocking chair backstage and sat in it. Randy Orton punched him in the back of the head. This was Randy’s plan.
  • Orton locked Bray in a crate and set fire to it. The Fiend showed up and put Randy into the Mandible Claw.
  • Matt Riddle defeated MVP in roughly a minute in a singles match. Lashley rushed the ring afterwards but Matt Riddle escaped.
  • Miz and Morrison attacked Drew McIntyre during the “Ascension Ceremony” with AJ Styles where the belt was raised up above the ring. Drew fought them off before Omos tripped him and AJ got the upper hand.
  • AJ hit an elbow drop from the ladder through a table on Drew, then took the belt down and posed with it to end the show.
