Spoiler: Tag Team Title Match Added to TLC Card for Sunday

Aaron BowerDec 11, 2013

At Tuesday night's SmackDown tapings, a match for the WWE Tag Team Championships was finally added to the card for Tables, Ladders & Chairs, according to TWNPNews, with a matter of just days to go until the pay-per-view.

The Rhodes Brothers have not really had any sort of rivalry to speak of over the past few weeks, but they will defend the belts against six other men on Sunday.

With so many tag teams in desperate need of a push towards the upper end of the division—such as The Usos or The Prime Time Players—WWE's creative team has gone with two newly manufactured teams to make up one half of a fatal four-way tag match at TLC.

Given their recent push into the division, it is perhaps no surprise that the team of Ryback and Curtis Axel have been given a shot at the belts.

That is, especially considering that they did knock off the champions on SmackDown last week, and they have been on somewhat of a roll since they were brought together as a team following Paul Heyman's exit from TV.

Alongside them will be the team many consider to be the true contenders for the tag titles: The Real Americans.

They have been jostling it out at the top end of the tag division for a couple of months now, and Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger are an incredibly good tag team, in that they compliment each other very well.

Cesaro's patented swing maneuver is a crowd pleaser, too, and if he can pull it off at TLC on Sunday, it will certainly be a spot that raises the crowd to their feet.

The biggest surprise, perhaps, is that the other team to be added to the match is Big Show and Rey Mysterio. This is a pretty bizarre situation for the two to be in, in all fairness.

Show was headlining the previous pay-per-view against Randy Orton but really looked out of place in a direct rivalry with one of WWE's main guys.

He is of course no stranger to the tag titles, having won them with the likes of Chris Jericho in the past. For Mysterio, it represents an opportunity for an almost immediate return to championship action, given his recent return from injury.

Creative have almost been scratching around for a place for Mysterio since his return from layoff, and this could be the angle they are heading down.

The two certainly make for an interesting pairing—the classic big-and-little partnership that provides such a contrast of styles may make for good viewing.

Whether the champions can hold onto the belts remains to be seen.

It does, however, add another interesting match to what seems to be a good, solid card on paper in what is the final pay-per-view of the year.
