Monday Night Raw presents WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2017 Spoilers

TLC Match: Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins vs. The Miz, Braun Strowman, Kane and The Bar

Guys, I'm copping out for this one. I've had to change dozens of articles because of how often they keep shifting this match around, and I'm so exhausted that I've pretty much expended all my energy for now.

I promise you'll get a rant and a rundown on the post-show podcast on the YouTube channel. Stay tuned for that.

For now, though, the short end version of my predictions is this: WWE clearly did not plan on having Angle in this match, and it sucks for them that they made this whole card dependent upon The Shield reuniting, and it sucks that this is a TLC match because that could end up being problematic for Angle, and probably screws up all of their planned spots and really any of their plans in general.

I hope WWE's creative team figures out how to clean up this mess not just for TLC, but for the plans to follow, since the Roman Reigns and Kane situation clearly will be altered and if other people test positive for being sick, this could be a total fiasco.

PREDICTION: I honestly don't think WWE even has a clue what to do.


Raw Women's Championship Match: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Mickie James

Kudos to WWE for not going straight to Asuka, and for finally remembering that Mickie James is on the Raw roster, since she's been largely ignored ever since moving to the red brand, for some reason. The sad part for James is that she stands no chance. Bliss is holding this title until they want Asuka to take it from her.

PREDICTION: Alexa Bliss retains.


Asuka vs. Emma

Poor Emma is going to be slaughtered.

PREDICTION: Asuka continues her path of destruction.


Cruiserweight Championship Match: Kalisto (c) vs. Enzo Amore

After Kalisto won the title on Monday Night Raw, this match turned upside down with Enzo Amore now being the challenger. There's a good chance we could see Kalisto retain here and that Enzo's reign was just a transitional one to get it off Neville by keeping him strong, while turning Enzo heel, but there's also a good chance we see Enzo get the title back and nullify his previous no-contact clause, allowing the rest of the roster to turn into potential challengers.

PREDICTION: Enzo gets the title back.


Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick

I'm very surprised this isn't a six-man tag team match with someone else joining Swann and Alexander so TJP can be on the heel side.

PREDICTION: The heels win.


Kickoff: Alicia Fox vs. Sasha Banks

At least Alicia Fox is back in the mix, even if she's only on the card because WWE is stretching the roster thin.

PREDICTION: Sasha Banks wins.


Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles

Well hey, at least I'm getting a cool match now instead of another Balor versus Wyatt one, right? The downside is that this makes no sense, but clearly WWE didn't have this in mind, so I'm willing to cut them the proper slack.

PREDICTION: Finn Balor wins.
