TLC Pay Per View Location Revealed
On Tuesday, WWE announced that the 2019 Tables, Ladders, Chairs pay per view will be held Sunday, December 15, 2019 from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 2017 TLC event was also held at the Target Center.
Jason’s Take
I was at the 2017 TLC pay per view, and the Target Center is a great venue for it. If you have never been to a pay per view, the experience is great.
The Rock At SmackDown
SmackDown is named after one of the Rock’s catchphrases, so how could the debut of the show on FOX not feature the Rock ? According to the Twitter account of the Rock, “The Great One” will be appearing on the show Friday.
FINALLY…I come back home to my @WWE universe.
This FRIDAY NIGHT, I’ll return for our debut of SMACKDOWN!
LIVE on @FOXTV.
There’s no greater title than #thepeopleschamp.
And there’s no place like home.

Jason’s Take
WWE and FOX are going all out for the SmackDown debut. It is looking like it will be a hell of a show!

Jason’s Take
No surprises here.
Cain Velasquez To WWE?
On Monday, Dave Meltzer reported that Cain Velasquez had been in talks with WWE, with the possibility of a Cain Velasquez/Brock Lesnar match. On Tuesday, Meltzer reported that the idea behind Lesnar’s attack on Mysterio was that he beat up a Mexican legend and Velasquez would come in to get revenge on Lesnar. The report also stated that Velasquez has yet to sign with WWE and is possibly negotiating with other wrestling companies.
Jason’s Take
I’ve been starting at my screen for 10 minutes trying to decide what to post for my take on this. But, I can’t come up with any reason as to why this is a good move.

WWE RAW Ticket Sales Lag in Omaha as Show Heads to CHI Health Center
WWE RAW takes place tonight at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, and ticket sales are hovering just under a sellout, with 8,347 of 9,174 tickets sold and roughly 827 remaining — numbers that could be absorbed by walk-up buyers. That figure is well below the promotion’s previous stop in the building (11,606 tickets on 5/5/2025) and the year-to-date Raw average of 11,900, meaning even a full house tonight would still land more than 2,500 seats shy of recent averages.
The show’s announced card features a Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu contract signing for Backlash, the continuation of the Oba Femi Open Challenge, Je’Von Evans & Penta vs. Rusev & Ethan Page, JD McDonagh vs. Finn Bálor, a sit-down between Asuka and IYO SKY ahead of Backlash, and the recent signing of Sol Ruca to Raw. With tonight’s attendance shaping up lower than typical this year, the creative build and walk-up interest will be key factors in turning this into a strong live crowd.
