WWE TLC 2019 kicks-off with the Firefly Fun House. Bray is decorating a ladder with baubles and tinsel. He says it’s that time if year when we have to reflect on the past 365 days – the video hypes all the TLC card – and Bray says that regardless of what you did, whether you were naughty or nice, we all need some TLC.

The match begins and both teams brawl. Dawson is knocked from the ring and Big E slams Dash, while Kofi jumps over his shoulders with a boom drop to Wilder. New Day leave the ring to get ladders but Dash and Dawson attack them.
The four men fight around ringside, with Big E throwing Dawson over the announce table. Dash is beating Kofi against the barricade, and Dawson comes back to slam Big E on the announce table, then whip him into the steel steps. Dawson joins Dash and they slam Kofi into the LED apron, then they grab a ladder and set it on the apron. They look to throw Kofi into the ladder but Kingston jumps over it and into the ring, then looks to baseball slide the ladder into them but they lift it over him and slam him with it repeatedly.
Dash and Dawson grab the ladder and try to hit a running Kofi but he leaps over it and jumps on the apron, then splashes the ladder, causing it to slam both Dash and Dawson. Big E comes back and helps Kofi put a ladder in the ring. Dash and Dawson look to pull the ladder out but Big E shoves in into them. Big E leaves the ring and beats on Dash Wilder, then places him on the ladder on the apron and in the ring and looks to splash it but Dash moves and he hits the ladder!
Kofi tries to dive onto Dash and Dawson with a trust fall but gets caught and slammed face-first into the ladder on the apron. The Revival finally take the ladder into the ring and set it up. They start climbing but Big E comes in and hits Dawson with a belly-to-belly, then drops Dash with a lariat. Big E starts climbing but Dawson dropkicks the ladder and it falls over.
Big E sits in the corner, holding his knee, so The Revival place the ladder on its side, with the top against E’s groin, and dropkick it. They then set the ladder against the ropes and slam Big E on it. They grab Kofi and look to do the same to him but Kingston escapes and jumps over the ropes and pulls one end of the ladder, flipping the other end into Dash and Dawson’s faces! Big E lifts Dawson in a stretch muffler, looking to hurt his leg to prevent climbing, and Kofi drills Dawson with a ladder in the gut as he hangs.
Kofi and Big E set up a ladder and the former starts climbing it but Dash and Dawson come back and fight Big E off. They shove the ladder over but Kofi lands on the top rope and springboard off with a tornado DDT to Dawson! Kofi follows-up with Trouble In Paradise to Wilder, then sets the ladder back up. Kofi climbs the ladder but Dawson grabs his leg, then rips him off and they hit a mid-air Shatter Machine!
The Revival start climbing the ladder but Big E comes back in and pulls them both down. He throws Dash over the ropes to the apron, then spears him through the ropes to the floor! Big E slams Scott in the corner with a ladder a few times, then throws the ladder out of the ring and bring a different one in. Big E sets-up a second ladder beside the first in the ring, then lifts Scott Dawson and throws him into one of them.
Big E goes outside and brings another ladder in, and sets it up between the turnbuckles and a ladder. Big E sets Scott Dawson on the propped ladder and climbs the ropes but Wilder returns and crotches Big E. Dawson stands on the propped ladder and suplexes Big E on it! The ladder is just bent, so they put Big E back on it and Dash splashes him through it!
Dash and Dawson start climbing the ladders in the middle of the ring but Kofi springboards onto them. Kofi brawls with both Dash and Dawson but they pull his legs through the runs and hang him up. Big E returns and lifts Wilder on the ladder for a real Big Ending! Dawson starts climbing up again and grabs the belts but Kofi sits-up and whips the belts into his face, causing Dawson to fly off the ladder and into the wreckage of the one Big E went through. Kingston stands up and grabs the belts!
