Would you be my new best friends?



It's time once again for TLC, a card that up until a few days ago looked like at best a 2-match show and probably really only a 1-match show. That was until a long-standing report about viral meningitis turned out to probably be true, as WWE suddenly announced that "three performers" were suffering from a virus and the rest of the roster was undergoing immunization (possibly enraging future WWE Hall-of-Famer Jenny McCarthy in the process). The three performers in question are Bo Dallas, Bray Wyatt and surprisingly Roman Reigns, who was main eventing right up till the latest Raw when he got attacked by Kane and Braun Strowman at the end of the show. Now in WWE's haste to damage control, the show has become potentially a lot more fascinating:


Kurt Angle & Raw Tag Team Champions Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Intercontinental Champion The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, Braun Strowman & Kane (5-on-3 Handicap Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match)
With Roman Reigns sidelined for medical reasons, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle will team up with Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins in the epic WWE TLC main event.


“The Demon” Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles
What was shaping up to be a WMOTYC and probably worst feud against Bray "Sister Abigail" Wyatt has been transformed into a potential MOTYC, as AJ Styles will cross the battle lines from SmackDown LIVE to Raw in a one-night-only clash with Finn Bálor

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James
The “goddess of WWE” Alexa Bliss will put her Raw Women’s Championship on the line against six-time Women’s Champion Mickie James.

Asuka vs Emma in a NOBODY IS READY FOR ASUKA match
The Empress of Tomorrow Asuka’s highly anticipated Raw debut will finally occur at WWE TLC when she collides with the nefarious Emma.


WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore
Enzo Amore has invoked his rematch clause and will challege Kalisto for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & THE Brian Kendrick
Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann look to show the WWE Universe that they are the future of the Cruiserweight division when they battle Gentleman Jack Gallagher and THE Brian Kendrick.

Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox
After being attacked backstage on Raw by Alicia Fox, Sasha Banks will take on her rival (who isn't Nia Jax who ISN'T on a leave of absence, she's just left to be absent) in a battle for retribution (on the pre-show).


Drew Gulak to present a WWE Cruiserweight Championship Edition of his PowerPoint Presentation
Drew Gulak continues his crusade for a better WWE 205 Live with a special WWE Cruiserweight Championship Edition of his PowerPoint Presentation during the WWE TLC 2017 Kickoff.

With all the changes they should just roll out a Joker's Wild set and randomly determine each match. What's next?

I've thought about it and decided that advertising Kurt all weekend only to bring out Jason Jordan would be the most WWE thing they could do.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I think JJ will be added as a surprise 4th man, not replace Kurt

Jason Jordan will come out with Roman Reigns's outfit and Michael Cole will scream about how Roman powered out of the mumps.

WWE is bad at many things but even they wouldn't do a bait and switch on a performer appearing on a card. Just not worth the lost of business. Plus it's not like Kurt has to do a lot in the match...

1) Not give everyone else involved in the match meningitis.

2) ???

In a surprise twist, they don't replace Kurt Angle with Jason Jordan.

Instead, they replace AJ Styles with Jason Jordan.

When you were wishing for Bray to contract a virus, was is specifically one that causes meningitis, or just any virus?

It was actually an unrelated wish where I wanted WWE to recreate Con Air, and Bray was gonna be one of Cyrus the Virus' henchmen (Swamp Thing maybe).

Yeah, at this point I think that would be the only thing that could make Bray the next Undertaker. Or at the very least a dead man walkin.

Mickie won't because she's 1 win away from trying the record and they're not going to give that to her.
