Solomonster reviews the final PPV of the year, WWE TLC 2020, a very good show overall and, in fact, one of their best shows of the year.  Featuring two excellent TLC matches, a Money in the Bank cash-in, the return of The Queen and Randy Orton committing first-degree murder by turning The Fiend into Burning Man.  Don't let this one good show distract you from the fact that Vince McMahon must resign immediately as the head of WWE creative.Sign up for a FREE TRIAL and 15 PERCENT OFF your first month of fuboTV when you visit FUBOTV.COM/SOLOMONSTER for a limited time!

Solomonster talks AEW Dynamite for December 16th, a very average episode that at least put the focus on building some of its younger stars and less established faces.  Sting showed up and didn't do much of anything, why he does NOT need to appear on the show every week and Kenny Omega learns the identity of his next challenger for the AEW World title.  Plus, Cody and Brandi make a major announcement and thoughts on Omega reuniting with Bullet Club members Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows for a match on next month's Impact Wrestling "Hard to Kill" PPV.Sign up for a FREE TRIAL and 15 PERCENT OFF your first month of fuboTV when you visit FUBOTV.COM/SOLOMONSTER for a limited time!
