A few TLC matches got changed due to a virus. So here is a report on how matches came down.
AJ Styles and Kurt Angle step up in the ring at TLC as changes are made at the last minute.
Pre Match Alicia Fox vs Sasha Banks:
Fox and Banks match was so boring the announcers where not even calling the match. WWE decided to go to promos during the match that is how important it was to them. Fox had caught Banks and tossed her out of ring and asked ref to count, Banks gets in at 8 count and Fox takes over the match. Booker compares Fox to the Missing Link. Banks hits back stabber and gets her submission move.
Winner: Banks
Auska vs Emma:
Emma tapped out.
Winner: Auska
Alexander/Swan vs Kendrick/Gallgher:
Winners: Alexander and Swan

During an Interview Bliss says she thinks her butt is cutie and says she likes her butt. The match starts and James dumps Bliss on mat. A quick cover does not work. Mickie spanks Bliss on ropes. Mickie goes for the second cover but Bliss kicks out. Mickie tries a 3rd cover but Bliss kicks out. Bliss covers James after playing an injury.

MY REVIEW OF TLC:
WWE had been hit with a lot with some of the wrestlers out with a viral infection but they more than compensated the fans. However matches dragged out and did not really offer fans anything. At one point fans started to Chant TABLES. Seems cheating by someone is still the only way to win a Title in the WWE. The match with Balor and Styles was one of the best matches on the card and I loved in the end they did the CLUB sign. As many people are aware AJ, Gallows, Anderson, and Balor ran the club in international wrestling and the question is will the CLUB be coming?
What TLC lacked was TITLE MATCHES like for the WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP or INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
The last match became destruction and Angle was escorted out of ring with medics.
