Aleister Black vs. Buddy Murphy is Raw’s first match to be officially announced for TLC.
The match was confirmed for the pay-per-view on tonight’s go-home edition of Raw. Black defeated Akira Tozawa on tonight’s show, with a promo from Murphy airing prior to the match. Murphy said he’s better than Black and is going to prove that when he defeats him on Sunday.
Black and Murphy have been feuding since the final Raw before Survivor Series last month. Murphy knocked on Black’s door and said he wanted to pick a fight with him. When Black didn’t immediately answer, Murphy said Black was all talk.

Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin in a tables, ladders, and chairs match
