  Yes, this is the 4th time this year that I've taken a week off of writing for this site but to be fair, 2020 was a God damn Hellmouth!  Anyways, I thought that WWE's last PPV of 2020 was fantastic.  I had little to no expectations going into this show and I came out of watching it liking the PPV the more I thought about what I just saw for 3 hours.  As per usual, I haven't seen the 8 man tag at the pre-show so I can't tell how I feel about it.  Images via WWE.com Drew McIntyre vs AJ Styles For The WWE Championship In A Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider .

But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
