After a garbage year, WWE is treating us with a promising main event: On Sunday, Drew McIntyre defends his WWE Championship against AJ Styles at the TLC pay-per-view event. It looks to be spectacular, as not only are both guys great performers, they’ll compete in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.
It’s one of two world championship TLC matches, as Roman Reigns will also defend his Universal Championship against Kevin Owens.

Rounding out the headlining matches is Randy Orton’s Firefly Inferno bout against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. Fiend matches tend to be weak, and these two had a notoriously poor WrestleMania match a few years ago (brought down by wacky Bray Wyatt theatrics. So… it’ll be interesting, at the very least.
