TLC 2018 Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

At WWE TLC, Baron Corbin will be forced to face Braun Strowman in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, a contest that will hold huge spoils for whoever survives the all-out carnage.

After The Lone Wolf cost Strowman his match for the then-vacant Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar by striking him in the back with the title, Strowman immediately went looking for retribution.

Concerned with beating her brother Shane McMahon and SmackDown LIVE at Survivor Series, Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon agreed that if Strowman helped Team Raw win the Men’s 5-on-5 Traditional Elimination Match at WWE’s fall classic (without touching Corbin prior to the contest), then he would “Get These Hands” on Corbin and would receive a Universal Title Match against Lesnar.

After Strowman fulfilled his side of the bargain, however, Stephanie cited lawyer difficulties as the reason why she couldn’t give Strowman exactly what he wanted on Raw. Instead, she created a match between Strowman and Corbin for WWE TLC, and if Strowman wins that contest, he’ll finally receive his Universal Title opportunity against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble. If Corbin walks out with a victory, though, he will become the permanent General Manager of Monday Night Raw. And if he doesn’t, he will lose all authority.

Nevertheless, Strowman retained one part of his original deal with Stephanie: The right to pick the stipulation against Corbin, and The Gift of Destruction chose to bring tables, ladders and chairs into the mix. Let the bedlam begin!
