Mysterio vs. Orton chairs match added to WWE TLC

Another stipulation match has been added to the card for Sunday’s TLC pay-per-view.

Ahead of tonight’s SmackDown, WWE announced that Rey Mysterio will be facing Randy Orton in a chairs match at TLC on Sunday. The PPV is taking place at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

The stipulation stems from angles where Orton laid out Mysterio on both the November 20 and November 27 episodes of SmackDown by using a chair. In the first attack, Orton wrapped Mysterio’s head around the chair, slammed it into the ring post, and stole his mask. In the second one, Orton put a chair under Mysterio’s neck and slammed it into the steel steps.

Here’s the updated card for TLC:

  • WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defending against AJ Styles
  • Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins defending against Dean Ambrose
  • If Braun Strowman is able to wrestle at the PPV: Strowman vs. Baron Corbin in a tables, ladders, and chairs match (Strowman will challenge for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble if he defeats Corbin. If Corbin wins, he’ll become the permanent general manager of Raw. Corbin will lose all of his GM power if Strowman wins)
  • Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey defending against Nia Jax
  • SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defending against Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a triple threat tables, ladders, and chairs match
  • SmackDown Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus defending against The Usos and The New Day in a triple threat match
