WWE TLC 2020: Live Stream, WWE Network Start Time and Match Card

Dec 20, 2020

WWE TLC 2020: Live Stream, WWE Network Start Time and Match Card

This has been a wild year. With a pandemic and a presidential election headlining events, people occasionally need a distraction. Luckily for wrestling fans, Sunday brings with it WWE's annual TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view.

This is usually the show wherein WWE has three separate matches that each involve one of the titular weapons before one final bout puts them all together for a TLC contest.

This year, however, WWE has opted to book two TLC matches without any of the individual stipulations, so at least half of the card comprises standard contests. The one exception will be Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Inferno match.

Unless WWE adds a pre-show bout, there will be six matches with five titles on the line. Let's look at everything you need to know about TLC 2020.

The Venue and Start Time

Venue: Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida

Start Time: 6 p.m. ET (kickoff), 7 p.m. ET (main show)

Other TLC Thoughts

In past years, the TLC PPV has usually featured several stipulation matches. Separate bouts involving tables, ladders and chairs took place before the main event combined them all to make the Voltron of all matches. 

This year, WWE has been running shorter events, and as a result, we will be getting two TLC bouts with no contests involving the individual weapons. The only other gimmick match on the card is Orton vs. Wyatt in a Firefly Inferno match, which is probably like a regular Inferno match with more puppets.

WWE management has put together a decent card that features matches that have the potential to end the year on a high note.

Styles and McIntyre will likely provide an exciting performance, while Reigns and Owens give us a more brutal encounter. Both should be fun in contrasting ways.

The Hurt Business vs. The New Day is a bout we have seen several times, but seeing as the performers involved always deliver, this should be another entertaining chapter in their feud.

Asuka's mystery partner will have a big impact on the quality of the women's tag title bout. Everyone from Charlotte Flair to Eva Marie has been speculated, so it's anyone's guess.

Sunday's show is the final WWE PPV of 2020. This has been a weird year, so let's hope WWE gives us something good to close it out.
