Moving on to the action inside the squared circle, all eyes will be on the main event – a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the WWE World Championship between champion AJ Styles and No. 1 contender to his title, Dean Ambrose.
The rivalry between Styles and Ambrose has been going on for a few months and reached the boiling point when ‘The Lunatic Fringe’ attacked ‘The Phenomenal One’ before SmackDown Live went off the air this week.
The addition of the newest superstar on the blue brand’s roster, James Ellsworth, into the mix over the past few weeks has made the Styles-Ambrose feud all the more exciting and it will be interesting to see what role he will play at TLC.
