WWE TLC 2017 Results: Did Kurt Angle Win His Return Match? [VIDEO]
Despite some major changes made just days before Sunday’s pay-per-view, including the addition of Kurt Angle to the card, WWE TLC 2017 delivered an entertaining three-hour event. With Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt pulled from the card because of medical issues, the rest of the “Monday Night Raw” roster stepped up.
Below are WWE TLC videos and results for every match on the card.
Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Braun Strowman, The Miz, Kane, Cesaro & Sheamus (Tables, Ladders & Chairs 5-on-3 Handicap Match)
WWE did their best to make this feel like an actual Shield reunion, even if Roman Reigns couldn’t be part of it. The match started with Angle, Ambrose and Rollins walking through the crowd wearing the black Shield vests, and it ended when they hit The Miz with a Triple Powerbomb in the middle of the ring. There was plenty of action in between, including Kane turning on Braun Strowman and the entire heel team tossing the Monster Among Men into a garbage truck. Angle’s in-ring return looked like it might be short when he was sent through a table and sent backstage, but he eventually returned to deliver a few Angle Slams and suplexes that would help The Shield get the victory.
Winner: Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins
Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James
Mickie controlled much of the match, but there was never a real sense that she was going to win. Bliss pinned the challenger after sending her into the turnbuckle and hitting a DDT. Mickie delivered a promo shortly after the match ended, possibly indicating that her feud with Bliss isn’t quite finished.
Winner: Alexa Bliss
Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles
The match was everything that fans could’ve hoped for and more. The first two leaders of Bullet Club stole the show, and although Balor got the win with the Coupe de Grace, both wrestlers ended the night looking strong. Balor challenged Styles to another match in a promo for wwe.com, and they could have a rematch at Survivor Series.
Winner: Finn Balor
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore
As the biggest heel in the division by far, it only makes sense that Enzo should have the title. He was able to hit JawdunZo for the win after poking Kalisto in the eye, regaining the belt he had only recently lost.
Winner: Enzo Amore
Asuka vs. Emma
Emma lasted longer than anticipated, but she eventually suffered the same fate that all of Asuka’s NXT opponents met. The undefeated wrestler forced Emma to tap out to the Asuka Lock, starting her journey toward what feels like an eventual Raw Women’s Championship win.
Winner: Asuka
Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & The Brian Kendrick
Alexander hit Kendrick with a Lumbar Check for the win, concluding what was probably the second-best match of the night. Along with Enzo, these four wrestlers are helping to make the cruiserweight division more interesting than it has been since WWE introduced it last year.
Winner: Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann
Jason Jordan vs. Elias
The match wasn’t scheduled before the PPV began, and it occurred after Jordan and Elias had two segments together earlier in the night. Jordan rolled up Elias for the win, though a replay showed that Elias’ shoulder was off the mat when he suffered the pinfall. These two should have a program going forward, even if it is limited to “Monday Night Raw.”
Winner: Jason Jordan
Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox (Kickoff Match)
Sasha beat Alicia, yet again, forcing her to tap out to the Bank Statement.
Winner: Sasha Banks
