The final WWE pay-per-view of 2018, WWE TLC, will be live on Sunday night from the&nbsp;SAP Center at San Jose, San Jose, California, United States. Though this is not one of the Big 4 PPVs, it will give you some pointers as to where the company is taking you and what can be expected in 2019.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Braun Strowman</h2>

The Monster Among Men was written off WWE TV when he was injured (storyline) in a 3-on-1 attack by Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley last month. Strowman was already suffering from an elbow injury and this gave him time for a surgery.

Strowman is set to face Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders &amp; Chairs match. If Corbin wins, he will become the permanent General Manager of Monday Night Raw and if Strowman wins, he will get a shot at the Universal Championship title at Royal Rumble.&nbsp;



The situation here is very uncertain because it is not yet known whether Strowman has recovered completely from the surgery and if he is medically cleared to wrestle. A forfeit will hand the victory to Corbin.



Raw viewership has been on an all time low and Corbin&#8217;s storyline is being blamed as one of the reasons. With Kurt Angle also returning to Raw this Monday, it would be interesting to see the outcome of this match.







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Possible Title Changes</h2>

Six titles are on the line this Sunday with the exception of Universal Championship, Raw Tag Team Championships and the United States Championship.

Ronda Rousey is currently the money machine of Raw and it is highly unlikely that Nia Jax will dethrone her this Sunday.



The most rumored title change is the Intercontinental Championship. Dean Ambrose is heavily rumored to defeat Seth Rollins and become the new IC Champion. 



This is set to open a new path for Seth Rollins where he is likely to win the Royal Rumble and face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35. It sounds ideal since the Ambrose/Rollins feud has not made the impact as expected.

The outcome of the first ever Triple Threat TLC Women&#8217;s Championship match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Asuka could be interesting. If Becky retains, how will WWE play out the WrestleMania match between Rousey and Lynch? If Charlotte wins, then it&#8217;s pretty much obvious that Lynch vs Rousey will happen at WrestleMania. 



What would be even more interesting is when Asuka wins the title. WWE could play an angle where Rousey could face both Becky and Charlotte in a triple threat match at the main even of WrestleMania. That is a definite crowd puller.







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ruby Riott</h2>

Ruby Riott has been one of the most successful superstars of 2018 with consistent performance. The funny part is that most of the WWE Universe failed to notice this until recently.&nbsp;


[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]



Riott has been in a controversial storyline with Natalya, using Nattie&#8217;s deceased father Jim Neidhart&#8217;s name and image in a rather unpleasant way which has generated a lot of heat from the fans. 



However, Riott has been one of the best heels in WWE and she could very well be the next best heel challenger WWE has got for a feud against Ronda Rousey once the Jax/Rousey feud is over.



If Natalya beats Riott, then we can see another talent bite the dust. But if Riott wins this Sunday, it could be the start of her push to the main event spotlight







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brock Lesnar&#8217;s Next Challenger</h2>

Braun Strowman is likely to be Brock&#8217;s next opponent if he wins against Baron Corbin at TLC and he is expected to so with a squash match. 



But we don&#8217;t even know if Strowman will show up since he is not yet medically cleared for the match after his elbow surgery. 


[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]



So, what happens if Corbin wins the match? Who will be Brock&#8217;s next opponent?



There are several names rumored to be the front runners like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and even The Rock. In the absence of Roman Reigns, WWE need a big match to draw the audience.



Sunday night could provide some clues about which direction the Lesnar storyline is headed.
