While WWE didn’t announce a match for the Kickoff show for tonight’s (Sun., Dec. 16, 2018) TLC event at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, they ended up running two separate matches on it. One of those included a Ladder match with a guitar hanging above the ring pitting Elias vs. Bobby Lashley.
The initial announcement was that the guitar would hang up top and whoever took it down could use it as a weapon. Then, just before starting, they announced that whoever grabbed the guitar would actually be the winner.
That’s WWE for you.
It ended up being at least a decent decision to put this match here, as they got things rolling with a better than expected match that featured a few fun spots. Such as:
Can you hold this? Thanks.

Ultimately, however, it was Elias who went up and grabbed his own guitar to win the match, to a big pop from the crowd.
