In 2015, Lynch and The Boss have wrestled quite a bit on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown since both came up from NXT to the main roster. Unfortunately, their rivalry hasn’t been able to garner the same focus as it received at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable.
It’s a nice treat to get this matchup on the Kickoff show and that no one gets pushed back onto the preshow. It would have been a crime to leave Sasha Banks completely off the “TLC” card because she is billed from Boston, MA.

The winner of Banks vs. Lynch may very well be pushed into the WWE Divas title picture after the Charlotte and Paige feud concludes later in the night. It’ll be a good match as well if the women are given enough time.
