Due to medical issues impacting two WWE Superstars scheduled to appear at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, streaming live on WWE Network this Sunday, the special event will now feature Kurt Angle competing in a WWE ring for the first time in more than 11 years, as he replaces Roman Reigns. In addition, former WWE Champion AJ Styles will replace Bray Wyatt and face The Demon Finn Bálor.

A WWE Hall of Famer and the current General Manager of Raw, Angle will join forces with Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose to battle the daunting combination of Braun Strowman, Intercontinental Champion The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus and The Big Red Machine Kane in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs 5-on-3 Handicap Match.

The showdown between The Demon and Styles is one that the WWE Universe has been wanting for a long time and promises to be one of the most exciting matches of 2017.

Check back with WWE.com as more information becomes available. Dont miss a moment of WWE TLC, streaming live on WWE Network, this Sunday at 8 ET/5 PT.

That feel when a viral disease books a wrestling promotion better than WWE does.

How is the booking better? It's no booking.

What happened to Roman?

Farsi · Oct 20, 2017

I just read up that this is some 10 way tag team match? This is probably the safest way to bring him back. Let him do a couple angle slams, an ankle lock here or there just for the fans. The reactions will be great.

*Edit well shit looks like it's a TLC handicap match. Oh boy this isn't safe.

Ok, Kurt is clearly the megaton, and I hope he doesn't kill himself. Did Styles get traded to Raw or something?

Popped. Or pooped.

Oh wow, Roman got hit by the Viral Meningitis too?

I wonder if they're going to be cross-branding stuff for a bit to help Raw's roster out for the next few weeks.

Bizarre way to have this return happen, but I'm glad they're making an extra effort to make sure the fans get a good show.

pretty done · Oct 20, 2017

This went from the revival of The Shield to Kurt Angle likely getting Sting'd pretty quick.

They are doing that for Survivor Series. They're doing Jinder v. Brock for it.

Not more dumb than Undertaker/Kane/any supernatural gimmick

And they're doing the two former Bullet Club leads against each other with no build? This stuff seems wasted on TLC.

Seth Rollins is on the same team as him, so most of the danger is gone.

I don't think they've ever faced each other, in fact. So this first time ever match is a replacement exhibition match for one where Finn was going to fight a nun while dressed as a pumpkin.

cordy · Oct 20, 2017

Bryan's just waiting to get on cam to cut a vicious promo.

I meant along the lines of letting Raw borrow SD guys like they're doing here w/ AJ.

Survivor Series has often had the Raw vs SD gimmick in previous brand split years.

Oh god, is that what they're doing with Bray Wyatt these days?

jwhit28 · Oct 20, 2017

Just giving away Balor vs AJ with little build up feels like such a waste on WWE's part. I'm happy as a customer. Of course just as I start enjoying Reigns he has to go away.

Not related but Jim Ross is on Sports Nation on ESPN right now pimpin NJPW.

darkside31337 · Oct 20, 2017

Is there an actual reason they'd spoil this in advance other than ticket sales? Seems like the worst kind of short term thinking honestly

funkystudent · Oct 20, 2017

geomon · Oct 20, 2017

And when Daniel Bryan leaves, you'll know why.

kirblar · Oct 20, 2017

SDCowboy said:

Bray and Bo are out w/ Viral Meningitis and quarantined at home because of it. Presumably he picked it up too.

Everyone on the roster's going to be getting a booster for it.

To make sure fans show up/purchase the event/etc. Rumors had been swirling that a lot of people were sick and contagious.

Angle getting Sting'd from his own team should pop an "achievement unlocked" bubble.

Ignore him. He didn't suffer through 95 when WWF had the Harts and Michaels and fuck all else. Or 2005 shitty Smackdown. Or Invasion 2001.

It was his source of power!

This guy is in awful shape right? What the fuck happened to him at tna? He aged like 30 years over there.

You should watch the promos between the two.

No he dressed as an 19th century Old West undertaker who was also a zombie controlled by an urn.

And battled such enemies as a Sasquatch, large African cannibal, a Voodoo priest, and a Viking warrior.

Net_Wrecker · Oct 20, 2017

Of course the WWE AJ/Finn match up would result from a missing Bray Wyatt and AJ being thrown into the match. sighhhhh

There better be some shenanigans from good brothers Gallows and Anderson or I riot.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I don't want to see Kurt Angle die

It's true, it's damn true - CTE-riddled Kurt Angle returns to wrestling for TLC
