Welcome to the TLC review for December 15, 2019.
Andrade and Humberto Carrillo had an hard hitting match to start us off. Andrade’s left eye was busted open to the point it started to close. Andrade hit a stomp while Humberto was tangled in the ropes. After some back and forth that had the crowd chanting “This is awesome” Carrillo got the pin. This was the best kickoff show match all year. Afterwards, Andrade and Vega had another argument that looked like they might be splitting up.
The New Day vs. The Revival is next
Just an unbelievable sequence with Kofi and The Revival. Kofi jumps over the ladder, The Revival catch him under it, Kofi jumps through the ropes and lands on the ladder crushing the Revival underneath. Incredible.
Big E takes a nasty fall off the ladder. It looks like his leg got caught as the ladder fell. Thankful he looks to not be that hurt.
Kofi is falling off the ladder, manages to catch himself on the top rope, hit a DDT and then a Trouble in Paradise. Jesus!
The Revival suplex Big E from the top rope onto a ladder. They then splash E through the ladder.
“This is awesome”
Big E hits the Big Ending from the top of the ladder. Kofi hits Dash with the belts and sends him off. Kofi grabs the belts to win. Fantastic match.
Buddy Murphy vs. Aleister Black.
They trade moves until Black gains control. Black hits some fast hard strikes until Murphy plants him with a face buster on the steps. Blood is coming from Blacks’s nose and it might be broken.
Blood is everywhere. Murphy is hitting everything and everything looks like it hurts. Murphy grabs Blacks jacket and starts to put it on. He throws it at Black and it catch’s the King face.
The fact that Black is still going just shows how tough he is. Black hits a moonsault, but Murphy counters with a superkick to his face and a powerbomb.
After a string of strikes, Black hits Black Mass out of nowhere for the pin. Both men looked great. This pay per view is certainly living up to it’s brutal reputation.
The Viking Raiders issues their open challenge for the Raw Tag Team Titles. The OC answer.
Eric plays babyface in peril as Anderson and Gallows tag in and out with quick effective strikes.
Ivar gets tagged in and cleans house. Both the OC can not stop him as he builds a nice head of steam.
All four men are knocked outside the the ring. The can’t reach the ring and it’s a double countout. Both teams continue to fight and Anderson is put through the KFC table at ringside.
Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin in our first TLC match.
Reigns comes out fired up. He dispatches Corbin’s security team and procedes to wail on Corbin through the crowd.
Corbin is great of playing with the audience. They chant tables, he starts to grab one, and then grabs a chair instead. Corbin nails Reigns ribs.
After a comeback by Reigns, Corbin hits him with a can of dog food and then chokeslams Reigns through the table. Reigns kicks out. Corbin puts him on the announcer table. Reigns counters into a Samoan Drop through the table.

The Miz vs Bray Wyatt
Bray is out as himself. Smiling, taking a selfie with a fan. It’s so bizzare.
Bray is not attacking , but Miz is destroying him. Bray is not throwing a punch.
Bray comes out of nowhere to hit a Sister Abagail. Bray pins him. The Fiend shows up on the Screen and Bray grabs his mallet. The lights start to go off and Bray gets excited. The lights come on and a freshly shaved Daniel Bryan attacks. The lights go off and Bray disappeares.
Weird but I like it.

Bobby spears Rusev, but the table does not break. Rusev slams Rusev through another table for the win
Becky Lynch and Charlotte vs. Askua and Kari Sane for the Tag Team Titles will close us out.
Sane runs at Charlotte on the ring apron and catches a big boot from The Queen. Lynch and Charlotte then throw Sane between them on the announcer table.
Sane throws chairs into the ring to distract Lynch and Charlotte. They chase her under the ring, but Sane comes up with a fire extinguisher. Askua and Sane lock Charlotte in a chair with a kendo stick and tie Lynch to a ladder.
