WWE TLC 2015: Final Predictions for Event's Top Matches

Tomorrow marks the final WWE pay-per-view of 2015, as the seventh TLC event in the company's history emanates from TD Garden in Boston.

In previous years, we've seen the event play out with its top matches given stipulations that don't really suit the talent or the rivalry in question. However, the 2015 edition of the show looks set to make the most of a roster that's capable of producing excellent work between the ropes.

There's sure to be some great action in store when TLC 2015 gets underway tomorrow evening—and here's how the biggest matches on the card are likely to play out.

The Usos vs. Lucha Dragons vs. The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championships

After a long stretch of being overlooked, this bout should demonstrate just how bright the future of the tag team division really is.

The Usos vs. The New Day is a championship feud that could run for months and define a new era for tag team wrestling on WWE programming. However, there's an interesting wrinkle added to that rivalry with the addition of the excellent Lucha Dragons.

Crucially, all three of these teams seem uniquely suited to a ladder match. Who knows what high-flying offence The Usos will wheel out, what Lucha-inspired action the Dragons will bring to the party or what devious tricks The New Day have up their sleeves?

These are three teams that seem poised to use the stipulation to its full advantage, so there's a good chance this bout will steal the show tomorrow night.

When the Dudley Boyz returned to WWE earlier in the year, there were calls for a TLC match to be scheduled for Sunday's pay-per-view to take advantage of their talents. While it's good to see Bubba Ray and D-Von on the card, it's promising to see WWE aim its focus on the teams of tomorrow in the title match.

However, in terms of a result, The New Day are the favourites going into the bout. While the Lucha Dragons and The Usos have looked strong in recent weeks, it's likely that we'll see some chicanery deny the coronation of a new pair of champions.

Prediction: The New Day

Team ECW vs. The Wyatt Family

Back in January when Bubba Ray Dudley received a great reaction at the Royal Rumble, you have to wonder how many people would have expected to see him and D-Von back on the roster by the time TLC rolled around.

This is the perfect time of year for the Dudley Boyz to be wrestling for WWE, as the stipulation-centric nature of the company's December pay-per-view plays right to their strengths. What's more, the pair will have ECW veterans Rhyno and Tommy Dreamer to fill out their numbers as they battle the Wyatts on Sunday night.

The build to this match has been rather uneven, but the bout itself should be a thoroughly entertaining spectacle. This one will be a car wreck—there's no doubt about that.

After continually coming up short in prominent feuds over the course of 2015, Wyatt and his cronies are in need of a solid win to build up some momentum. It seems clear the Wyatt Family are the favourites going in; it's just a question of how many eliminations Team ECW will manage.

Having bowed out quickly in the big tag opener on this week's edition of Raw, Erick Rowan seems like a likely casualty. Luke Harper runs the risk of being eliminated, too, but it seems likely Bray and Braun Strowman will manage to endure.

The outcome of this might be easy to predict, but it's a bout that's more about spectacle than a result. Paired with the contest for the tag team titles, TLC looks to have no shortage of excitement on the card.

Prediction: The Wyatt Family

Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Tomorrow night's main event will see the world title defended under a TLC stipulation, as Roman Reigns attempts to reverse the injustice done to him at the end of Survivor Series last month.

While these two aren't particularly known for their acumen in wrestling this type of contest, the onus is on them to pull out all the stops for a satisfying title match. At this point, both men are still looking to demonstrate why they deserve a main event position.

Conventional wisdom states that Sheamus won't lose the title so soon after winning the belt via a Money in the Bank cash-in. However, given that we're on the verge of WrestleMania season, it's not too difficult to imagine a scenario where we see a new champion.

WWE typically likes to arrange the pieces for WrestleMania as far in advance as possible. The main event has higher stakes if the champion has been reigning for some time, so it seems likely that whoever comes out on top at TLC will remain the champion until the Showcase of the Immortals.

It's easier to see Reigns as the champion at WrestleMania than it is to imagine Sheamus in the same spot. That being said, it's difficult to envision that we would see the title change hands yet again over the course of just a few weeks.

There are a lot of unanswered questions going into Sunday night's main event, but its outcome will likely reveal a great deal about what we're about to see on the Road to WrestleMania.

Prediction: Sheamus
