#5 The Numbers that matter

Let’s start off with some heavy numbers. The first ever TLC match happened at the 2000 edition of SummerSlam and it was between Edge & Christian, Dudley Boyz and the Hardyz for the Tag Team Championship. Edge & Christian ended up winning the match and since then, there has been 14 TLC matches in the WWE.

Though the gimmick was initially designed for Tag team matches, it was later used for singles feuds as well and gave off some great after affects as well.

Over 28 wrestlers have competed in those 15 matches with Edge being the most consistent name with 7 separate appearances. Jeff Hardy clocks in at 5 matches so far and it’s these two men that form our next two statistics.
