(1) DREW MCINTYRE vs. A.J. STYLES (w/Omas) – TLC match for the WWE Title
Styles went after Drew’s knee as soon as the bell rang. Drew made a quick comeback and took Styles down aggressively. Drew also eyed Omas at ringside. Drew beat up Styles at ringside, then tried to climb the ladder. Styles kicked him in the knee and got in some offense. Drew came back and catapulted Styles into the ladder, but Styles landed on his feet and climbed the ladder. Drew knocked him down and then, more wisely, catapulted him into a chair wedged in the corner turnbuckles.
Charlotte Flair is in St. Petersburg, FL, and, at this moment, is scheduled to be Asuka s partner in tonight s Women s Tag Team Title match against the champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at WWE TLC.
She had been considered the favorite for the mystery partner spot since the talk was earlier that she would return at the Royal Rumble to lead to WrestleMania.
They had spent weeks building up Lana & Asuka as a team for tonight before taking Lana out with a worked injury. The storyline had been planned for a few weeks for Lana to be injured, leading to Flair s return.
