The Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt Firefly Inferno match that headlined the WWE TLC PPV was taped Sunday afternoon and post-produced.  The remainder of the WWE TLC PPV aired live as it happened.  There was talk of Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens closing the show at one point, but given the special effects and the ending of the Inferno match, really, they realistically couldn't close with anything else.

WWE officially announced the 2021 Royal Rumble for 1/31/21.  The current plan is for the show to take place in The Thunderdome.

Shelton Benjamin took to Instagram to dedicate The Hurt Business' Raw Tag Team title victory last night to the late Shad Gaspard, writing, "This ones for you Shad.  #wwe #shadgaspard #wweraw #wwetlc2020 #thehurtbusiness #andnew#tagteamchampions #"

Kevin Owens thanked fans for their support after his excellent TLC match with Roman Reigns:

If you missed the PPV, Carmella easily had one of the best performances of her career last night against Sasha Banks as well.

The storyline update on Lana, who is expected back on TV in about a month, is that she suffered a fracture of her left elbow and an injury to her MCL.
