Tensions High Backstage at WWE “TLC” After “NXT: R Evolution”

After the tremendous showing from the NXT roster at “NXT: R Evolution” on Dec. 11, the superstars competing at “WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, Chairs…….and Stairs” have a little extra incentive to deliver on the pay-per-view.

According to MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE worker who now makes regular posts on Reddit, the atmosphere backstage at Quicken Loans Arena is rather tense.

He posted the following:

“All WWE talent and producers and TV production people are currently all set for WWE TLC tonight in Cleveland.”

“I’m told tensions are at a fever pitch and have been all day. Many guys on the card tonight want to go out of their way to be the match of the night. The feeling is that a small company rivalry has started between the main roster and the NXT roster. Many agree that is good for all sides involved.”

“What is usually a lighter atmosphere many hours before doors open is not the case today. I’m told that it is very quiet backstage and that talent is very focused on the show tonight. They know the NXT show is going to be considered “show of the year” among many and they want this TLC show to rival or top it.”

“Many of the main matches have already been rehearsed. There was a giant black curtain covering the ringside area so nobody outside of the main players know what is going to happen tonight.”

Editor’s Note

Good. If this pushes for a better WWE product, I’m all for it. Since there’s very little outside competition, why not create an internal rivalry and get the best out of everyone?
