(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Pay Per View (PPV) was 2 weeks ago, and there still hasn't been any shocking developments since then.  The end of the year is approaching, and RAW was quite average, so on a SuperSmackDown, live on a Tuesday, I was hoping the show would be at least decent.  There was actually some really decent matches on this live edition of SmackDown.


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:

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Pay Per View (PPV) was Sunday, and the WWE writers started off with an awesome tag team match, and the show fizzled from there.  The Heavyweight title match was more interesting watching Roman Reigns snap after being out of the title once again.  The next day on RAW, you saw Reigns getting smacked by Stephanie McMahon for hurting her husband HHH at TLC.  Then Steph lets Reigns know that Vince McMahon was personally showing up to deal with Reigns.  A title match later, Reigns knocks out Vince McMahon and is finally the champion.

This episode of SmackDown should be awesome because the writers have so much to work with at this point.  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.

This RAW was rather average, and did not do much for creating excitement and anticipation for the TLC PPV.

You would expect this episode of RAW to go kind of easy on the talent, especially with the injury to Superstar Seth Rollins a week or so ago.  You just know SmackDown will be even slower before the PPV.  They made the matches longer, and really didn't have much over the top excitement in this episode.
