So far, the only match officially booked for TLC is Alexa Bliss’ Raw Women’s title defense against Mickie James. With that pay-per-view (PPV) only a couple weeks away on Oct. 22, you had to figure Raw was gonna get busy making plans tonight (Oct. 9). According to PWInsider, they will be.
- We’ve known about The Bar’s appearance on Miz TV since last week, and we assumed it would lead to advancement in the story of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins’ reunion. Looks like that’s the case, as the report says Cesaro and Sheamus’ chat with the Intercontinental champion should result in that trio getting a match against The Shield in Minneapolis in 13 days.
- Insider is a little more concrete on how another bout will be booked for TLC. They’re reporting that the winner of a Triple Threat between Nia Jax, Emma and Alicia Fox will be sentenced earn the right to face the undefeated Asuka in her main roster debut on the PPV.*
- Not much detail to the last one, but the report says we’ll get “an update on the status of Sister Abigail”, which probably means confirmation of whether or not she’s Bray Wyatt in make-up and/or an official announcement about another showdown with Finn Bálor in Minny.
How do those sound to you? Whether they’re enough to get you to watch or not, follow along with our coverage here.
