Guess who's back? Back again. It's Nickolye... to recap again. (It's been a long time since I have recapped a show, but I felt now was the right time to do so!) This is the "better late than never" recap for WWE TLC 2015. Shout out to Emerson Whitner for his audio recap, but this is the readable recap for your viewing pleasure. This PPV was headlined by Sheamus defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns in a TLC match, Kevin Owens put his Intercontinental Championship on the line against Dean Ambrose, The New Day had to face The Lucha Dragons and The Usos in a triple threat ladder match for the Tag Team Titles, and much more! This show was too good to not have on print on AngryMarks.com, so here we go!

On the Kickoff show, Team B.A.D. had a "12 Days of Christmas" poem that they read to the Boston crowd (that I wish I was there for since I usually go to shows in Boston). "12 ladders climbing, 11 chairs a-clanging, 10 tables crashing, 9 trombones playing, 8 Total Divas, 7 golden rings, 6 WOO's from Flair, 5 hotline blings, 4 unicorn horns, 3 BAD divas, and 2 'What are those?' (Referring to Naomi's light-up shoes which she dances around in.) And Team BAD have unity!!"

* Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch

They lock up, trade wrestling holds, Sasha reverses an Irish whip, does a monkey flip for 2, Becky reverses for 2, Sasha picks a leg, Becky gets a side headlock, Sasha hits a shoulder block, Sasha bridges out of a cover, trips her up, goes for the Dis-arm-her but Sasha escapes to the ropes. Sasha hits a forearm, Becky takes the arm, couple of armdrags, armbar, holds on, Sasha blocks a rollup but kicks out of a couple of pin attempts. Becky goes back to the armbar, Sasha hits a forearm to break, whips her into a corner, Becky floats over and applies the armbar again. Sasha backs her into a corner, Becky side-steps her, hits a springboard kick, knocks Naomi off the apron, Sasha side-steps Becky and places her across the middle ropes to hit the double knees in the back. Sasha Banks takes some adulation from the Boston crowd while we take a quick break to promote upcoming shows on the WWE Network.

Sasha is in control when we come back, Tamina gets in a cheap shot, Becky tries to fight back, Sasha counters a tilt-a-whirl, hits the Backstabber and applies a strait-jacket chinock, Becky gets up to a knee and eventually her feet, but Sasha brings her back to her knees and takes her back down with the hold locked on. Becky gets to her feet with Sasha on her shouders, Sasha does a victory roll for 2, Becky counters for 2, a rollup for 2, slams her head on the middle turnbuckle, battles back with clotheslines, calf kick, running legdrops, misses one, and Sasha hits a neckbreaker for three near-falls. Sasha slaps her, Becky fights back, blocks a wheelbarrow move, hits the exploder suplex, crawls to the cover and Sasha grabs the bottom rope at 2. Sasha kicks her away, Becky with an armbar, Sasha rolls through, Becky holds onto the arm, Sasha counters for 2 and Becky locks in the Dis-arm-her! Tamina distracts the referee allowing Naomi to kick Becky in the chest. Sasha hits the Backstabber into the Bank Statement to make Becky tap out. WINNER: SASHA BANKS.

Now onto the WWE TLC PPV! The New Day are the first to come out to defend their Tag Team Titles, which are hanging above the ring. Kofi Kingston asks Xavier Woods why he didn't do his hair this time around, and Woods tells him that he's not going to "waste a good hair day in Boston." Big E says when they climb the ladder of success and take what's theirs they will still be champions. Kingston says they will cement themselves as the faces of the tag team division. They mock their opponents saying that the Luchas and Usos aren't good enough to be and make fun of them. "We do not hide behind masks. We do not hide behind facepaint. Ohhh nooo. Because we are STARS. So ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, get eyes on this preview. This right here is a preview of the next Wheaties box cover. Because NEW, DAY ROCKS! NEW, DAY ROCKS!"

Big E pulls Jimmy off, hits a kneelift, shoves the ladder away, Jimmy tosses E out the ring, E punches him to block a dive, picks up a ladder, but Jimmy dropkicks it back into him.

We get a commercial for the Royal Rumble on January 24th, 2016 in Orlando, Florida. Kevin Owens comes out next to defend his IC Title. Kevin Owens: "Every time I come to Boston all I hear about is how proud this city is of its sports teams. Sports, yeah! In fact, every time one of those teams wins, you all go around saying 'We won! We did it! WE achieved something.' When the truth is you have done nothing. No, you're all delusional. You watched those teams win, but you as individuals had nothing to do with it. And that makes you just like one Dean Ambrose. Yeah, because he's delusional too. Dean Ambrose walks around here like he actually accomplished something. What has Dean Ambrose accomplished? Is it throwing popcorn and soda in my face last week on Raw? The thing is I eat popcorn and drink soda every day of my life. So that can't be it. Oh, is it beating me at Survivor Series? Cause let me tell you, that is nothing to be proud of either because all that was was a fluke. It's not going to happen tonight because tonight when I stomp out the cockroach that is Dean Ambrose and walk out of here Intercontinental Champion still, as delusional as Dean is and as all of you are nobody will be able to deny that this is the Kevin Owens Show."
