We’re going into the Tables Ladders Chairs event tonight and I’m pretty stoked for the show. December and January are traditionally slow months for wrestling but this year seems different. There are three highlights for me:
1. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have been feuding separately with the Kabuki warriors. Both women took them on individually and lost. Now they are teaming up. This is important because it means they are putting aside their own differences and possibly rebuilding their friendship.
2. The Fiend has kidnapped Daniel Bryan. We haven’t seen him on the show in weeks. Miz has been hunting for him even though the two men are not friends. Bray Wyatt threatened Miz’s family and even showed up at his home on his daughters baby monitor! If Miz can beat Wyatt maybe Fiend (Wyatt’s alternate personality) will release Bryan. Wyatt always talks about Fiend as a different person and is sometimes scared of him.
3. Roman Reigns and King Corbin are going head to head for leadership of the locker room. Both men think the other is unfit to lead. Even if Roman wins this fight (and he will) Corbin has the crown until September and will likely keep pushing Roman. Corbin is a white hot heel right now and the two men make this rivalry one that won’t easily go away.
And my wife is just as excited as I am. It’s an unexpectedly good wrap for the year. Latecomers can catch up on the past few weeks with WWE Main Event (the recap show) and watch Raw and Smackdown for the fallout if you don’t want the PPV.
PPV shows tend to be about spectacular matches and titles. This one is all about building the characters and stories. It’s a Christmas treat!
