I actually cannot believe this is my last prediction series of the year! It's gone so quick and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who reads all my posts, it's you guy's that keep me writing! I will make sure to leave the link's bellow to any recent posts so you can check them all out and keep up to date. You can also let me know what your TLC prediction are by leaving a comment bellow in the comments section or by tweeting me at @TezangiVictoria.
Last month Luke Harper made he's return to the WWE after he spent just over two months out of action. To everyone's surprise Harper would return to take the side of the Authority joining team Authority for the Survivor Series pay per view main event. Harper would set he's eye's Dolph Ziggler, as hints of he's return as made after two of Ziggler's matches. Two weeks before Survivor Series, Harper showed he's face for the first time in two months, delivering a beaten down Dolph Ziggler to the hands of the Authority ending the show airing in Liverpool in the United Kingdom saying "I'm a team player". The following week on the go home show for Survivor Series Harper would officially be announced as the final member of team Authority. On the same night he went one on one with Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental championship and left with the title on he's side. I did write a lot about this and I think you all know how happy I was or Harper. He then had another amazing performance at the Survivor Series pay per view on the Sunday of that week. It was made evident that the WWE were big on Luke and had some big plans for him.
I think everyone know's just how much of a fan I am of Luke Harper. Since the start I have been talking about him none stop and have been advising everyone to go and check out he's work before the WWE. So you can only imagine how happy I was when Harper was crowned the new Intercontinental champion and to see the WWE have so much faith in him.
As for Dolph Ziggler he has had an interesting year to say the very very least, but when doesn't he. It's evident that Ziggler is by far one of the most underrated and underused superstars in the history of the WWE. He's fans are the most loyal and passionate of fans and it's a shame that the WWE don't seem to have as much faith in him as the fans. However, the past month has been a great one for Dolph and things are beginning to look up. Despite losing the Intercontinental championship he has been on a huge high. At the Survivor Series pay per view he was the man of the show. After an amazing performance he was left as the last man standing, winning the big one or Team Cena. In my opinion this was probably one of Dolphs' best performances to date. He stole the show and was finally giving he's time to shine, even though the timing was a little out of nowhere. Since that night rumours of a huge push on the way for Ziggler have surfaced the internet and the WWE seem to be living up to the rumours. The following night he main evented Monday night RAW with John Cena and ever since has been put in strong matches both on RAW and on Smackdown.
So far the WWE have given Harper three title defences, witch to be honest is quite a bit for such a short amount of time but I like it. The more Harper we see the better. What I don't like is how they are ending he's matches and showcasing him in the ring. He's best match so far as a solo superstar has been he's title defence against Dean Ambrose on Monday night RAW. But what I've been having my little rants about is the ending. The WWE seem to be doing the same thing with Harper as they have done Ambrose since going solo, they really are struggling to make him look strong and he is yet to pick up a clean one on one win. I have a huge huge problem with this, I spoke a lot about with Ambrose but this is not a good way to set up an upcoming superstar. He's so early into he's WWE career that giving him these weak endings is not good at all. The matches themselves have been pretty good, there is still so much left of him to see but they have been solid. I do think they really need to change up their tactics, hopefully they will do so after the TLC pay per view. So far they have had him have the "chickens" way out. The first time he was counted out and then last week on Smackdown he got DQ'd after kicking Ziggler in the crown duels. This of course would lead to Santiono who was in charge of Smackdown that night to announce that at TLC Luke Harper will defend the championship against Ziggler in a ladders match.
I think a lot of you will agree with me when I say this match could easily steal the show. These are two extremely talented superstars with very different styles and characters. It also helps that I love ladder matches. Personally I think both these superstars are going to be amazing on Sunday and shock the entire WWE universe. This type of match does favour Dolph Ziggler but I think this is going to be the turning point for Luke Harper. I don't think anyone will feel the same about him after this Sunday and I have a feeling he's going to completely steal the show. I honestly think we are finally going to s the very best of Harper and this could easily be the best match we have seen from him to date.
I think it's clear who needs to win this one. Harper. He needs to pick up a huge huge win and this is the perfect opportunity. I get the WWE want to push Ziggler but giving him the intercontinental championship will do nothing for him, in fact it will only push him back even more. I do suspect the feud will go on for another month or at least into the new year, but this Sunday is vital for Harper. This is when the WWE need to prove they have faith in him, the future of the WWE and changing things up in the company. Harpers old school, he's interesting and he has a lot to show, having him drop the title this weekend would be a big big mistake and picking Harper and he's career up from that will be extremely difficult. So it's a no brainier for me, Harper must walk way still the Intercontinental champion. This Sunday will cement he;s future in the company and as for Ziggler it doesn't matter the outcome he's got a huge next thew months ahead.
