Decent match.... Alexa winning makes "sense" in the way that there is "nowhere for Becky to go" if she retained. Which is too bad, because I would have liked for Becky to retain.
THIS FAN REACTION SHOT THING IS FUCKING STUPID!
Emperor Smeat

Wow Alexa actually won. Match was pretty good overall.
Bliss looks like she just came from a blowbang
Droford
12-04-2016, 10:01 PM
Wonder what would have happened if she saud no
Mr. Nerfect
12-04-2016, 10:01 PM
We're still in the Divas Era.
Good Lynch could have retained and took on all-comers but Lynch works better as chaser
.....You went through a table wrestling logic says you are out cold WTF with being interviewed after?
Dude is marrying a chick with pink hair. She will be caught blowing black dudes in Black Widows bed in 3 months.

She could have gone onto the next challenger. It makes sense in the WWE context of they like to give all the girls a go.
Evil Vito

They're both young enough that this could be their "Edge & Christian in The Brood" period. There's nothing to say you can't move them onto different things later when you have more of an idea of what each guy can do. But it could be a good way for them to learn in a different environment and working with a bunch of different people.
Agreed. SmackDown getting a new team could also give them a reason to dump The Vaudevillians who are clearly never going to do anything. I've got nothing against Simon Gotch but it's been very clear ever since he nearly killed Enzo and got called out on it by Stone Cold that WWE axed any plans they may have had for them.
If Gotch gets let go I hope they keep Aiden English around and let him sing again, he could be a fun enough comedy heel ans bumps well enough to play the part.
SlickyTrickyDamon

Why did the interviewer go out there? Becky should have put her in the Disarmer.
Emperor Smeat
12-04-2016, 10:03 PM
Think the dumbest thing about this Kay's commercial is they didn't do this after a RAW show to get a nice crowd cheering shot after the proposal is accepted. A lot better than doing it at some empty arena.
Triple A

Is this the only match left
Evil Vito
12-04-2016, 10:05 PM
I still think Nikki vs. Becky will be the SmackDown women's match at WrestleMania. But maybe Nikki is the one defending (and likely retaining). If Bayley's going to get her "moment" on that show I don't know they'd switch both women's titles at WM.
Lock Jaw
12-04-2016, 10:05 PM
She could have gone onto the next challenger. It makes sense in the WWE context of they like to give all the girls a go.
Only other challenger would be Carmella.... and she just lost......
Could face Naomi, but that's a face vs face and would prob only be good for one match.....
Nikki/Nattie busy with each other (or they will be)
This way Becky gets to continue on with Alexa for prob another few months.
Emperor Smeat

Aiden English was working on his own. I always felt that team was weirdly timed. They were really good in the fish bowl that is NXT, because they could get over ironically, which is sincere down there. Remember when they were more over than Enzo & Cass and even got the Tag Title shot in Brooklyn? In retrospect that seems weird, but they had their time and place.
I wouldn't fire Gotch or anything, but I'd repackage him. He was partially trained by Daniel Bryan and I've actually liked what I've seen. Let him go back to NXT and give a singles gimmick a go. English can stay on SmackDown and sing.
30 minute match with a 20 minute Undertaker ring entrance.
Lock Jaw
12-04-2016, 10:06 PM
Ellsworth heel turn tonight!!!!
Fingers crossed Ellsworth becomes Styles lacky Ala Jericho/Howard Finkel
Ellsworth cashes in on his title shot and pins Ambrose while both Dean and AJ are out cold.

Ellsworth Becomes Sellsworth?
Alexa Bliss on Talking Smack. I'll be smacking my penis to that.
Dark One
12-04-2016, 10:08 PM
Hopeful this match will be incredible.
Feels like a lot of the Smackdown PPVs from the later half of the first brand split so far--serviceable but nothing really impressive. Some of the stuff has been pretty good, but if this show didn't have the TLC gimmick, it would have been flat as hell.
SlickyTrickyDamon
12-04-2016, 10:08 PM
Two grab the belt matches on a ppv is too much.
Mr. Nerfect
12-04-2016, 10:09 PM

Could face Naomi, but that's a face vs face and would prob only be good for one match.....
Nikki/Nattie busy with each other (or they will be)
This way Becky gets to continue on with Alexa for prob another few months.
Then maybe Carmella shouldn't have lost? Bad booking isn't an excuse for further bad booking. If they need more girls, they shouldn't have split the women up, or they should hire new girls. They just did something with Mickie James -- would it be so hard to show her in the crowd before a Becky Lynch match cheering as a Becky Lynch super fan? Then, after Becky wins, she jumps in and makes herself part of the scene?
Why couldn't you run Becky vs. Naomi? Naomi doesn't need to turn, but she can talk about how she's overlooked because she ain't as adorable as Becky even though she's a better athlete. Why not go back to Natalya? They never really blew off their feud.
Fuck it, run with Bliss more. She's a heel. She can show up and talk about how Becky put her through a table, but she was dehydrated because she doesn't trust the water in Texas. If Becky were a real fighting champion, she'll put the belt on the line in a proper wrestling match.
But I guess Becky did hold the belt for just over two months. That's ages for a Women's Title reign in 2016.

Ellsworth will turn heel. It'll actually be good because Styles is good when he has someone to interact with, and he can have someone wear his merchandise so he doesn't have to look like a mark for himself by wearing his own shirt under his vest.
AJ Styles super over with the crowd in Dallas.
I could see Undertaker surprise everyone & close TLC by tomb-stoning AJ post-match tonight. They are in Texas after all...
#TOMBSTONE
Mr. Nerfect
12-04-2016, 10:11 PM
The weirdest thing they could do here is have Ellsworth help Ambrose win and celebrate with the new champ in happy fashion. I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility in today's day and age.
Lock Jaw
12-04-2016, 10:11 PM
People want to cheer AJ Styles..... I know they are still building to another AJ/Cena encounter, but people want to cheer him.....
Meanwhile Ambrose is getting more and more boos via going against AJ Styles.... and he has grown a heel beard......
I feel like "the money" is in a double turn with Ambrose winning the title and AJ Styles chasing it for a bit before winning it back......
I wouldn't do the double turn tonight, but soon........
Mr. Nerfect
12-04-2016, 10:11 PM
I don't think they'll have Taker Tombstone Styles, but I could see the show ending with a light show as if to imply that Taker is coming for the belt.
SlickyTrickyDamon
12-04-2016, 10:12 PM
AJ Styles super over with the crowd in Dallas.

Hey, I'm with you man.... in a perfect world with good booking I would have had Becky retain and keep onto it at least until Wrestlemania or even beyond.

Nothing terrible..nothing memorable.
Perfectly average acceptable throwaway show i dont think this match can swy that opinion one way or another
Mr. Nerfect
12-04-2016, 10:16 PM
Ellsworth turns heel because he thinks he's got a chance against Styles -- he's actually convinced himself. Ambrose then beats the piss out of Ellsworth and on SmackDown, turning heel himself and earning the ire of Shane McMahon because he's a "bully."
Droford
12-04-2016, 10:17 PM
Getting rid of Mauro would be a dunbass move which means hes pribably going away

Mr. Nerfect
12-04-2016, 10:19 PM
Mauro Ranallo is everything Vince McMahon hates about WWE announcers. Well, maybe he likes the contrived alliteration. They have seemingly made a decision to move even further away from Jerry Lawler too. We're in the era of "everyone is a generic television presenter other than Corey Graves, but still him a little bit too."

The heel turn was definitely predictable, but just like with Colin Delaney there was only so far you could've gone with Ellsworth as a face. He got his contract and you're never going to present him as an actual wrestler who will beat people decisively, so you turn him into a twerpy little heel you want to see get his ass kicked. Being good at getting his ass kicked is how he got signed in the first place.
The only problem was when Delaney went heel they didn't follow up with it at all. The crowd at The Bash 2008 didn't react to Delaney's heel turn at all because most of the audience didn't watch WWECW, but it caused WWE to just completely drop it and release him soon thereafter. More people are aware of Ellsworth so there's reason to believe they'll actually go somewhere with it. Also since they're actually affiliating Ellsworth with somebody he can get more mileage out of being a goofy sidekick.

Miz-Bryan promo feud has been a lot better than almost all the regular feuds in the WWE. Baring a major screwup, the payoff for this is going to be one of the best mega moments in years.
It will definitely lead to that, it will be D Bry's final match vs The Miz.

It doesn't really matter that all heels win at a PPV in 2016 because half the heels get cheered anyway.
Crowd was definitely behind Miz, so he cut his promo after the match to get back some heat. And they were clearly a pro-Styles crowd, too.

I feel like Bryan should force Miz to defend against a series of "former Intercontinental Champions," from Luke Harper in a one off and onwards.
Miz defends by hook and by crook. He then says there is no former IC champion who can beat him. Bryan declares, "I have a former IC you haven't faced yet. He dominated the Intercontinental Title scene in Japan, and now he's coming for you!"
The violins play, and out comes... James Ellsworth :shifty: Actually, out comes Nakamura. And Nakamura takes the title off Miz.

• Who are Holger Böschen and Manu Thiele? I was expecting to see Carsten Schaefer and Sebastian Hackl at the German announce table. I can only assume that Germany also get different announce teams for Raw and SmackDown and that Böschen and Thiele are on SmackDown and Schaefer and Hackl are on Raw.
• The tag match was alright, it was short and somewhat sweet, but I wasn't really surprised with the outcome. Slater & Rhyno lost all their momentum months ago and I can see them failing to win back the titles when they have their rematch and then just going their separate ways.
It seems like The Wyatts will be using The Freebird Rule which makes a small part of me think that we could see The New Day vs The Wyatt Family at WrestleMania, but only if The New Day are still champions by then. So, if The New Day break Demolition's record, I can see the match being a possibility at WrestleMania.
• What's with all these random women appearing backstage recently and interviewing people? I swear there's around five new women that have been appearing recently and they all look insanely similar.
• Nikki/Carmella was awful. Just awful. The finish to the match was rubbish along with the reveal of Natalya being the one who attacked Nikki. I thought that maybe Natalya being revealed as the attacker would have been done better than Carmella grabbing a mic after losing and just coming out with it.
It was somewhat anti-climatic.
• The ladder match was alright. The Figure-four ladder spot was pretty cool but overall, I was left feeling that the match was a little bit of a letdown, considering what their previous matches were like.
Even though I know Bryan can't compete, I can't help but think that we could see Bryan/Miz at WrestleMania. They're building up this feud and it has to lead to something and somewhere. If Bryan doesn't compete, then I think we could see an NXT call-up to represent Bryan in a match with The Miz.
The vignette that played before the match was really cool though but I felt that they could have named The British Bulldog and Owen Hart, instead of just showing them with no name.
Also, did anyone find it weird that it jumped from Chris Jericho all the way to Daniel Bryan? Before, it mentioned previous noteworthy champions and they were all within a few years of one another, but then the jump between Jericho and Bryan was over a decade.
Did they not think there were any noteworthy champions in the 2000's? I can think of a good few. Edge, Christian, Rob Van Dam and I would even say Shelton Benjamin. I think they were all good Intercontinental Champions in the 2000's. I especially enjoyed Christian's runs as champion in 2003.
• Kalisto looking for chairs under the ring, then realising that they're right next to him got a good laugh out of me. His ring attire looked strange too. He looked like the lovechild of Rey Mysterio and Tatanka.
He should stick to tights.
The match was much like Baron Corbin. Boring.
I felt the ending was stupid too as Corbin landed slap-bang in the middle of all seven chairs, whereas Kalisto landed on just one of those chairs. Corbin took the brunt of it but he didn't even sell it. He got up immediately and pinned Kalisto.
• The Women's Championship match was alright. It was somewhat similar to the ladder match in that it left me feeling a little bit let down considering their previous matches. The Dis-arm-her table spot was cool, but other than that, nothing really stood out in the match. The ending was sudden and surprising and I'm happy that Alexa won.
This feud can now continue and we can see how Alexa is as the champion instead of the chaser. This will probably last until WrestleMania at the most with Royal Rumble being the earliest end for it. I can see Becky admitting defeat but also saying that Alexa never pinned her or made her submit for the title. This will either eat away at Alexa who will then want to prove that she can beat Becky via pinfall or submission, or Alexa will try her best to avoid facing Becky in a traditional match as she's afraid she can't/doesn't know if she can defeat Becky via those methods.
• I'd say that the main event was the match of the night and that the hole in AJ's tights was pretty distracting. Was his ass bleeding? I'm sure I saw blood coming from a wound on his ass.
Ellsworth screwing Ambrose was pretty obvious and him doing it because of his record against Styles is probably the reason why. I can see Ambrose interfering in the WWE Title match and mauling Ellsworth and that would probably be the explanation for Ellsworth's disappearance from the WWE.
I really can't see the WWE having any use for Ellsworth or him doing anything meaningful after Ambrose gets his revenge on him.
• Before my "overall" bullet point, I will say how incredibly annoying the crowd reactions were. There was no need to show crowd reactions as part of pretty much every replay.
I think maybe Vince or someone in the back found out that "reaction videos" were popular on the interwebs but like pretty much everything, they're a good few years too late and that these days, nobody really gives a shit about reaction videos.
But seriously though, they've got to stop. I really don't care how three guys in an arena of around 20,000 people reacted to a move.
• Overall, the PPV was alright. I'd say it was pretty subdued compared to what SmackDown events are usually like. Nothing really stood out and the majority of the matches were pretty short and slow-paced. It felt like a lot of the time, nothing really happened.
I wouldn't say the PPV stunk though. It didn't. It just wasn't the best SmackDown PPV this year.

Papa Shango's Curse might have struck again in the WWE.
According to wrestlinginc.com, AJ styles may have been injured at last night’s TLV PPV. Styles celebrated until the PPV went off the air. After the show ended, Styles fell to the mat and a trainer came running down to check on him. Another trainer was checking on Ambrose outside of the ring. Styles was talking to the trainer about his right foot and was seen trying to move it around. Styles walked out on his own but was noticeably limping as fans gave him a standing ovation.
