WWE TLC 2018: 5 Superstars Who Need To Win

We're less than a week away from TLC and it's the final PPV of the year! While many argue that wins and losses don't matter in WWE, it certainly does affect fans' perception of a superstar and also their momentum going forward.

This is a crucial point of time in the WWE calendar year because we're over a month away from the Royal Rumble. As we know, the Royal Rumble is when the road to WrestleMania begins.

TLC may be the time where we start seeing a slow build towards WrestleMania. Perhaps two stars teasing a feud, an interference that sparks up a storyline, or more. However, the importance of momentum can't be understated. There are a few of superstars walking in with a lot of momentum and there are those who don't have it but could gain a lot of it with a huge win at TLC. Let's take a look

#5 Elias

Elias recently turned babyface and it's worked wonders. The crowd absolutely loves him and he represents the best part of a successful turn - the fact that the character hasn't really changed at all. The character simply changes its focus. In this case, Elias has gone from trashing the crowd via his songs to trashing his opponents only.

He's had a lot of momentum and the fact that he's now seemingly aligned with Finn Balor and that he was the victim of a 3-on-1 beatdown a few weeks ago makes him an even bigger babyface.

He faces Bobby Lashley and it's a must-win match-up for him. Getting a big win over The Almighty Lashley will definitely make him an even bigger babyface and fans are going to be behind Elias through and through. Let's hope he gets the W!
