WWE TLC 2014: 5 things that went wrong at the pay-per-view

TLC had to deliver a ground breaking show if it was to topple the success that NXT Revolution had back on Thursday. Though we all knew that the dream was pretty hard to materialize, being idiotic wrestling fans that we are, there were some glimmer of hope somewhere in the corner.And WWE managed to destroy every bit of that hope. TLC was a good pay-per-view compared to a majority of the other shows that the company produced this year, but it was clearly not anywhere near where it had to be.A string of bad booking decisions and lack of future planning might be the things that need to be blamed. In either case, it’s hard to undo what all went down in the show. So here’s a look at the worst decisions that the creative team made at TLC.

#5 Viper goes missing

John Cena and Seth Rollins squared off in a tables match which would’ve ended with everyone winning if Randy Orton had made his return. The Viper coming back and costing Rollins the match would’ve protected Rollins and also would’ve kept Cena as the no.1 contender.

At the same time, the time was ideal for Orton to make his big return. And what did WWE do? They blew the entire opportunity.

They gave Cena the clean win (we’ll get to that soon), they made Rollins look bad and they didn’t bring back Orton. It was a chaotic mess up with an angle that could’ve potentially stole the limelight on Sunday. While all three factors have big implications, it’s the Rollins situation that is going to hurt WWE on the longer run.
