There are 12 damn matches on this card. I care about maybe 2 of them.
WWE Title Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles
TLC Match Becky Lynch vs Charlotte vs Asuka
TLC Match Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin *If Braun wins, he gets a Universal Title shot, Corbin is done as GM *If Corbin wins, he's GM full time
RAW Women's Title Ronda Rousey vs Nia Jax
Intercontinental Title Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose
Guitar Above a Ladder Match Elias vs Lashley
Chairs Match Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton
Tables Match Ruby Riott vs Natalya
Cruiserweight Title Buddy Murphy vs Cedric Alexander
Smackdown Tag Team Titles The Bar vs The Usos vs The New Day
Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre
Mixed Match Challenge Finals R-Truth & Carmella vs Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox *Winning team gets #30 in their respective Royal Rumbles
I'll go......Bryan, Charlotte, Ambrose, Natalya, Truth/Mella, McIntyre, The Usos, Murphy, Orton, Braun, Elias, Ronda
This. Should. Be. Exhausting. |

Murphy retained over Cedric in about 10 minutes. As much as I'd want the CW guys to get more recognition, I don't think this needed to be on the show. Let a new challenger build towards the Rumble.
Anyways The Drifter vs Lashley is next on the PRE-SHOW. Ladder Match/Guitar whatever.

So the concept of the match was whoever got the guitar won the match. That's it.
Elias "won" by getting it after powerbombing Lashley on a ladder. Then the heels beat up Elias and hit him with the guitar anyway.
So stupid. All about heat, brother.
They wonder why the numbers are dwindling (types the fool who is watching this).

It's 2018 and the opening match for the last PPV of the year....is Jinder and Alicia vs Truth & Mella. Just awful.

Yep.
I predict (say it like you mean it) that R-Truth comes in at #30 in the WOMEN'S Royal Rumble.

Truth picked their vacation to Stamford at WWE Headquarters. Announcers had a chuckle. Yup that's about sums up this disaster.
SD Tag Titles up next. Luckily this should be better

The Bar retains. Good work by all three teams.

Bar retains in a fun one.
Wish it went longer. Hope we get a rematch.

Braun vs Corbin up next. Slater is ref.
Expect this to be super short due to Braun's injured arm.

They teased a count out in a TLC match prior to Braun showing up. Ok.
Braun wins after Apollo, Gable, Roode, Balor, Slater (who took his ref shirt off) beat up Corbin with chairs in the ring.
Angle out. Beating continues. Everyone hits their finish. Braun pins him as Slater counts the 3.
I was fine with all of this honestly.

I agree, I liked that Liv & Sarah went through tables first.
Did someone have to go to Kinko's (dated reference) and ask for a picture of Ruby & Anvil blown up big enough to fit on a table? I'd love to hear that conversation.
