WWE TLC 2016: 7 Possible shocks we could see at the PPV
With Survivor Series done and dusted, Smackdown Live will look to outdo Raw once again on PPV with TLC this Sunday on December 4th. With a number of matches that could steal the show (Ambrose vs. Styles, Bliss vs. Lynch, Miz vs. Ziggler, among others) and the match card overall appearing very strong, expect another splendid PPV from the blue brand.
However, a PPV must include shocks to make it stand out from regular WWE programming, so expect WWE to implement a number of swerves at TLC to make the PPV stronger. Whether it is a double turn, a dream title reign coming to a close, or a megastar returning, here are seven possible shocks we could see at WWE TLC 2016.#
#7 John Cena returns
Although some fans love to hate him, John Cena is a vital part of the WWE, and he is missed whenever he takes time off away from the company. This is especially true, given he is now one of only a couple of top male talents on SD Live, but unfortunately he has been absent from SmackDown programming since No Mercy in early October.
Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles have been left as the top guys on the blue brand, and although they have done all that they can, there is still a gaping hole in the main event scene on SD Live, which has been filled by James Ellsworth of all people.
Still, even with the entertainment of Ellsworth, Cena’s presence is sorely missed, and TLC could be where WWE bring him back. Assuming that WWE are still planning to have Cena vs. Undertaker at Wrestlemania 33, Cena could call out the Deadman in a surprise appearance this Sunday, kick-starting their dream feud early.
Or, if WWE is planning to have Cena win a 16th world title at the Royal Rumble next January, he could attack AJ Styles after his TLC match vs. Ambrose, planting the seeds for Styles vs. Cena III at the Royal Rumble 2017. Either way, a return for Cenation this Sunday would be a welcome shock.
