WWE Rumors: TLC 2014 Preview, Will John Cena Defeat Seth Rollins in Tables Match?

WWE will air the 2014 edition of its TLC pay-per-view on Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The main event features John Cena against Seth Rollins in a Tables Match with the stipulation that if Cena loses, then he forfeits his WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Brock Lesnar.

So without further ado, let's break down the match card and offer our predictions for the winners.

Rusev vs. Jack Swagger 

We saw this feud several months ago, and very little has changed. Rusev is still an undefeated, dominant force, while Swagger had been off television for a while. The Real American returned with Zeb Colter, but Rusev took him out a few weeks ago. There's no chance Swagger wins this match after his previous failure.

Winner: Rusev

Erick Rowan vs. Big Show in a Stairs Match

We should have mentioned at the top that WWE is billing this pay-per-view as TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs...and Stairs. Yes, really.

Erick Rowan and Big Show have been scuffling since Survivor Series last month, and the two have been using the steel stairs as their weapon of choice in the attacks. So WWE booked the two in a Stairs Match, which we're assuming means they can beat on each other with the steps all they want with no penalty. We don't know much about this match type, but it doesn't seem like the best idea for the two big men.

Winner: Erick Rowan

The Miz and Damien Mizdow (c) vs. The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Championships

The Miz and Mizdow won the belts at Survivor Series, so it's far too early to take the straps off them just three weeks later. Plus, The Usos were champs for months, so there's nothing new to them regaining the belts.

Winners: The Miz and Damien Mizdow

Ryback vs. Kane in a Chairs Match

Steel chairs always bring a little something extra to the table in professional wrestling, but the idea of a Chairs Match has always been kind of lame. Sure, you can use the weapon to bludgeon your opponent, but it just doesn't add anything special to the match. That's especially true in this case because of the two large combatants in there. This one will likely be dull and slow, but Kane hasn't won a match in about a year-and-a-half.

Winner: Ryback

AJ Lee vs. Nikki Bella (c) for the WWE Divas Championship

Brie Bella is inexplicably a heel again and aligned with her sister, who won the title from AJ at Survivor Series thanks to Brie's assistance. The Divas title has actually changed hands quite frequently this year compared to the other belts, but Nikki keeps the strap this time.

Winner: Nikki Bella

Luke Harper (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship in a Ladder Match

These two have put on some fantastic matches so far in this feud, and this ladder match should be no exception. Both men are extremely well equipped for this type of match, and this is the match that could steal the show. Ziggler and Harper have had great chemistry in the ring so far, so add some ladders to the mix and you have the makings of what could be the best match of the night. Ziggler has looked incredibly strong since his showing at Survivor Series, so a title win could be in his future on Sunday.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match

This feud has been lackluster in the eyes of some fans, but we're still getting two young, stellar superstars clashing in the middle of the ring. The storyline might not be the best, but the in-ring work will surely make up for it. Ambrose in particular works well with toys, so the introduction of tables, ladders, and chairs into this feud should make this a fun and exciting bout. Bray Wyatt needs a win, and he should get it here.

Winner: Bray Wyatt

John Cena vs. Seth Rollins in a Tables Match

The stipulation here is simple. If Cena loses, then he forfeits his WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against Brock Lesnar. Rumors have been swirling that Randy Orton could return during this match to get his revenge on Rollins and cost him the match, so be on the lookout for that. It seems unlikely that WWE would strip Cena of the title shot, so we'll predict a win for him here.

Winner: John Cena
