SmackDown Live Winners & Losers: 'The Man' Can See You Charlotte

Becky Lynch returned to SmackDown Live and immediately called out Charlotte Flair. This was just one of the many winners on the night.

As the pay-per-view, TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs approaches, many of the matches were set yet none seemed popped off the page. Tuesday's edition of SmackDown Live was put together in a way to change that. Lynch vs Flair is set, the Usos vs The Bar was added and AJ Styles dared Daniel Byran to show up, saying he would regain his title. All three matches have the potential to steal the show at TLC.

And, when the show wasn't focusing on matches that would cover much of TLC, they were hitting some segments out of the park with names like Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio.

Here are your winners and losers for SmackDown Live, November 27, 2018.

Winner: Becky Lynch

There's no doubt Becky Lynch is one of the company's biggest stars. Her presence on SmackDown Live elevated the show and learning that she'll be a part of TLC will elevate that pay-per-view. That she'll be taking on Charlotte Flair is about as marquee a matchup that WWE can offer for the women's division that isn't Rousey vs Lynch.

Her ongoing issues with Flair were perfectly revisited here but should have been left alone. Theirs is a rivalry deserving of a TLC match.

To interject another woman in there for the sake of making it a Triple Threat diminishes what the creative team has accomplished with Lynch and Flair to this point. The only unfortunate part here is that a third member will be added to the match. That bout didn't need it.

That it was Asuka that was added saves face a little but she still feels like a third wheel.

Loser: Usos vs The Bar

The Usos vs The Bar is typically a good match and their bout on Tuesday was no exception. The question is how many times WWE can offer these teams up as competitors before the fans get tired of seeing it. They've seen it before, saw it on SmackDown Live and will see it again at TLC.

It may be time for these two teams to move on from each other, maybe even send one of the back to Raw.

Winner: AJ Styles

Just seeing Styles back on television adds some main-event caliber talent to the show. Even though his promo was short and to the point, it was enough to sell the idea that he's going to get his hands on Daniel Bryan and Bryan will avoid letting him for as long as possible. When they meet again on December 16th, it should be a classic with an entirely new twist to their story.

It's good to have Styles back, even if it was only a couple weeks that he was gone.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura

How long have fans been asking WWE to do something with Nakamura and put something worthy of the United States Championship together? It was a short segment that involved The King of Strong Style and The Leader of Rusev Day, but it's the start of something and that's more than we can has happened for Nakamura in months.

This may be good for Rusev too. He's cooled off a bit since Rusev Day became a household movement.

Winner: Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe

Perhaps these two are only coming together because there's nobody else to pit them against but it feels like a perfect match and a strong storyline for these two stars who have been around the business for years but in different environments. This is really Joe's strength (acting like a bully) and Hardy can easily pull of the sympathetic veteran who deserves to be appreciated for what he's done over 20 years.

The company walked the line of appropriate versus not during the segment and succeeded, offering much more drama to their eventual battle.
