WWE TLC will be live at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. If you miss the show be sure to check out Triple Threat CLE on Monday afternoon as I'll have the complete recap of the show for you all. 

- "Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match": The Shield vs. The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman and Kane: This feud kicked off with The Miz mocking Roman Reigns' old faction, The Shield, on an edition of Miz TV. Later in the evening, Miz and The Miztourage attacked and beat down Reigns. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, meanwhile, began a feud with Braun Strowman and continued their feud with Sheamus and Cesaro which resulted in Ambrose and Rollins getting beaten down by all three. Roman Reigns battled The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, which he won by DQ, after Sheamus and Cesaro attacked Reigns. Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro triple power bombed Reigns and mocked The Shield afterwards. Miz held another edition of Miz TV with Sheamus and Cesaro as his guests. Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins crashed the show, reformed The Shield and took out Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro. Later that night, The Shield attacked Braun Strowman and triple power bombed him through the announcers table. The Shield declared themselves back and would take on all comers. Miz jumped on the opportunity and got RAW GM Kurt Angle to approve a 4 on 3 Handicap TLC Match at WWE TLC. One week before WWE TLC, The Miz added a fifth partner, however, Kurt Angle declined that decision. Miz then talked Angle into accepting the fifth partner if Strowman could beat Reigns in a Steel Cage Match that night. Strowman went onto defeat Reigns after the fifth partner, Kane, interfered and helped Strowman win the match. Can The Shield survive with the uneven odds?? Will The Miz and his team end The Shield reunion before it can get going??

- "WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match": Kalisto (c) vs. Enzo Amore: Enzo Amore began his feud with Kalisto after enforcing his no touch contract clause that every cruiserweight broke by beating down Enzo a week prior. RAW GM Kurt Angle announced that one cruiserweight that that rule didn't apply to was Kalisto, who attacked Enzo before signing on with 205 Live. Angle announced Kalisto vs. Enzo at WWE TLC, however, after taking verbal shots at Angle, Angle made the match official for that night's main event on RAW. Kalisto defeated Enzo that night in a Lumberjack Match to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Enzo immediately demanded his rematch at WWE TLC the next night on 205 Live. One week before WWE TLC, Enzo and his new alliance of cruiserweights attacked and beat down Kalisto and Mustafa Ali. Can Kalisto defeat Enzo and retain his title? Will Enzo regain his title from Kalisto?

- "WWE RAW Women's Championship Match": Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Mickie James: Alexa began her feud with Mickie by taking verbal jabs at Mickie, by calling her an old lady, forcing Mickie to confront Alexa face to face and attack her. Alexa continued her verbal attacks on Mickie's age by sending her adult diapers and a walker. Mickie went after Alexa, but was stopped by Nia Jax and ended up facing Nia in a match. Mickie defeated Nia by DQ after Alexa attacked Mickie, but Alexa was again beaten down by Mickie. RAW GM Kurt Angle made the match between the two official for WWE TLC a week later. Mickie stated that she may be older, but she's the overall better wrestler than Alexa and will take her title from her. Alexa again confronted Mickie and took verbal shots at Mickie's age, forcing Mickie to chase off Alexa. Mickie has dedicated the match to her three year old son and wants to take the title home to him. Can Mickie defeat Alexa and prove that age is only a number? Will Alexa defeat Mickie and retain her title?

- "Asuka's Debut Match": Asuka vs. Emma: WWE officially announced at the beginning of September that the former undefeated NXT Women's Champion Asuka would be making her official main roster debut with RAW at WWE TLC. Two weeks before WWE TLC, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke, and Emma all confronted RAW GM Kurt Angle and demanded to be put in Asuka's debut match as her opponent. Angle made the five ladies compete that night in a Fatal Five Way Match with the winner getting the opportunity to face Asuka at WWE TLC. The match concluded with Emma getting the victory and moving on to battle Asuka at WWE TLC. Can Emma dethrone the Emperess?? Will Asuka continue her undefeated streak through the RAW roster, starting with Emma??

- Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann vs. Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher: After a small feud between Gallagher and Kendrick took place, Gallagher suddenly turned heel and joined forces with Kendrick by helping Kendrick attack Alexander. Week's leading into WWE TLC, Gallagher stated that joining his enemy, becoming his friend and not worrying about what the fans thought was the best decision for him to make. Gallagher and Kendrick continued to attack Alexander weekly until Rich Swann stepped up and joined Alexander in the fight. One week before WWE TLC, Kurt Angle made the tag team match official between the four men at the pay per view. 

- "The Demon King" Finn Balor vs. "Sister Abigail" Bray Wyatt: Balor and Bray have been at war with each other since the month of August. Bray defeated Balor on an episode of RAW one week before WWE SummerSlam. Balor returned as his Demon King character and defeated Bray at WWE SummerSlam and then went on to defeat Bray again without The Demon King character at WWE No Mercy. One night after WWE No Mercy, Bray told Balor that they were far from finished and that Sister Abigail was alive and dying to meet Balor. One week later, "Sister Abigail" appeared on the TitanTron, appearing to be Bray Wyatt playing his own alternative character much like Balor plays The Demon King. Sister Abigail promised to hurt Balor for hurting Bray the way that he did and would meet Balor at WWE TLC. One week before WWE TLC, Balor appeared and promised to bring The Demon to WWE TLC and meet Sister Abigail. Kurt Angle made The Demon King vs. Sister Abigail official for WWE TLC.

- Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox: Sasha Banks eliminated Alicia Fox from the Fatal Five Way Match for an opportunity to face Asuka at WWE TLC. Alicia wanted revenge so she challenged Sasha to a match one week before WWE TLC. Sasha again defeated Alicia, making her tap out to the Banks Statement submission. Alicia attacked Sasha backstage after the match and demanded another match against Sasha. RAW GM Kurt Angle made the rematch official for WWE TLC.

WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs Preview #WWETLC

By Brandon Albright, @B_Rock1978

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE brings you the WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs Preview. This will be the eighth edition in the TLC event in WWE history. WWE TLC will take place live at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. You can catch the event live on the WWE Network, but if you're busy, working, or just want to wait and read the recaps, be sure to check out Triple Threat CLE on Monday afternoon and I will provide you with the WWE TLC recap.

- "WWE World Heavyweight Championship, TLC Match": AJ Styles (c) vs. Dean Ambrose: Last month on a Smackdown Live edition, Dean Ambrose came out victorious against AJ Styles, earning himself a WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at WWE TLC. Smackdown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon made the match official and also made it a "Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match", which obviously meant that all would be legal in the match. Ambrose and Styles would then be forced to team up together at WWE Survivor Series on Team Smackdown Live, as they battled Team RAW. Ambrose and Styles failed to keep their cool with each other, as they argued and then began to brawl. Braun Strowman took advantage and pinned Ambrose in the process, eliminating Ambrose from the match. Ambrose returned later in the match, seeking revenge on Styles and helped Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins triple power bomb Styles through a table, causing Styles to be eliminated. Can Styles retain his championship in one of WWE's most violent, career shortening matches? Can Ambrose finally get his revenge on Styles and win back his WWE World Heavyweight Championship?

- "WWE Intercontinental Championship, Ladder Match": The Miz (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler: Last month The Miz battled Dolph Ziggler on the 900th episode of Smackdown with the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line. The Miz, with the help from his wife Maryse and The Spirit Squad, defeated Ziggler to win the championship. The Miz went on to defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship successfully against Sami Zayn at WWE Survivor Series. The Miz would then again defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship successfully with the help from Baron Corbin and defeat Kalisto. After the match, Dolph Ziggler returned, laid out Miz with a super kick and demanded his rematch that he still deserved. Smackdown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan officially announced that The Miz would defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler at WWE TLC in a Ladder Match. This match is also being advertised as the last time The Miz and Ziggler will face each other for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Which former Clevelander will walk out with the championship.

- "WWE Smackdown Live World Tag Team Championship Match": Heath Slater and Rhyno (c) vs. Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton: American Alpha was originally set to face Slater and Rhyno for the WWE SmackDown Live World Tag Team Championship, however, The Wyatt Family stepped up and challenged Double A for the spot. 5 days before WWE TLC, American Alpha battled The Wyatt Family with the winners advancing to face Slater and Rhyno at WWE TLC. The Wyatt Family came out with the victory and became the new #1 Contenders. The Wyatt Family, who were the sole survivors on the 5-on-5 Men's Elimination Match at WWE Survivor Series have promised to take the titles next and continue their reign of terror in the WWE.

- "WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship, Tables Match": Becky Lynch (c) vs. Alexa Bliss: Two months ago at WWE No Mercy, Becky Lynch was forced to postpone her title match with Alexa Bliss to a later date due to a personal injury. Alexa finally got her shot at Becky at the beginning of November on Smackdown Live, however, came up short and lost. There was controversy in the match, as Becky had Alexa trapped in her submission hold, Alexa tapped out, but Alexa had her feet under the ropes before the tap out which should have made the submission win voided. Alexa demanded a rematch in week's to come before WWE TLC, feeling she deserved one after the referee's poor decision and costing her the match. Becky agreed to give Alexa a rematch at WWE TLC. Alexa would attack and beat down Becky after her match with Nattie Neidhart two weeks before WWE TLC and then told Becky to shine up the title because Alexa is guaranteeing victory. The feud heated up even more as Alexa would put Becky through a table 5 days before WWE TLC and got a Tables Match stipulation added to the title match.

- "Chairs Match": Baron Corbin vs. Kalisto: Back in August, Corbin viciously attacked Kalisto and put him out of action for two months. Kalisto returned and got a bit of redemption as he attacked Corbin, injured Corbin's knee and took Corbin out of the WWE Survivor Series 5-on-5 Men's Elimination Match. Corbin showed up at WWE Survivor Series anyway and attacked Kalisto, stopping Kalisto from winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Two days later Corbin would again distract Kalisto and stop Kalisto from winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Kalisto returned the favor, as Corbin battled Kane one on one, Kalisto attacked Corbin with a steel chair and laid out Corbin. Smackdown Live GM Daniel Bryan officially announced that Corbin and Kalisto would meet at WWE TLC in a "Chairs Match" to finally settle their differences. 

- "No DQ Match": Nikki Bella vs. Carmella: Nikki Bella returned from neck surgery back in August and was immediately targeted by NXT up and comer Carmella. Carmella repeatedly attacked Nikki week after week which escalated the feud further. Carmella was forced to team with Nikki Bella on the 5-on-5 Women's Elimination Match at WWE Survivor Series. Nikki, however, was attacked before the match and was replaced by Nattie Neidhart. Nikki immediately suspected that Carmella was the culprit and looked to get revenge on her. Nikki stated that she didn't care if it was Carmella, who denied doing it, but she would settle things with Carmella once and for all in a No DQ Match.
