(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Pay Per View (PPV) is Sunday, and the WWE writers did nothing spectacular on this episode of SmackDown.  I will admit, even though this SmackDown episode was rather average, at least the writers did give the viewers something to watch and not just ham up a show before a PPV.


Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
2. Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much.
4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc. 
5. The Tag Team Division is starting to look better than the singles division.  Get more people graduated from NXT and get that division showcased more. 

Here are the highlights of the show:

Air Date: Thursday, December 10, 2015
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Commentators:  Booker T, Rich Brennan and Jerry "The King" Lawler

New rating scale:  1- Forgettable match; 2 - Normal/average; 3 - Good match; 4- Potential classic

 

A quick video recap of the matches and who won: 

 

The cheat notes (For a full recap, watch the proceeding video after the cheat notes):

 All matches this episode gets a match rating of 2

• Dolph Ziggler gets a pin victory over Tyler Breeze despite Breeze working over the injured left knee of Ziggler.

• Lucha Dragons gets an impressive pin victory over The New Day for momentum going into their triple threat match at the Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Pay Per View (PPV).

• Ryback makes quick work of The Ascension in a 2 on 1 handicap match.

• Becky Lynch makes Paige tap out when Paige decided to pay more attention to Charlotte coming ringside than her opponent. 

• Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and The Usos gets a pin victory of The League of Nations when Reigns lands a spear on Rusev.
