Here’s the full lineup:
WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles
Smackdown Women’s Championship TLC Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka
Intercontinental Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Dean Ambrose
Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match: Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin (If Strowman wins, he challenges Lesnar for the Universal Title at Royal Rumble. If Corbin wins, he is full-time GM of Raw.) – Strowman is questionable to make the match due to elbow surgery, so if he doesn’t make it, maybe Bray Wyatt will take his place since Wyatt is expected back on Raw very soon.
Raw Women’s Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nia Jax
Smackdown Tag Team Championships: The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)
Finn Balor vs. Drew McIntyre
Elias vs. Bobby Lashley
Tables Match: Natalya vs. Ruby Riott
Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy vs. Cedric Alexander
Finals of Mixed Match Challenge (Teams to be determined on Dec. 11.)
That’s 11 matches now. They will probably put two or three of them on the Kickoff Show. We should know more during Raw and Smackdown this week.
In addition to that, the reliable Twitter account known as @WrestleVotes tweeted this about a change to TLC’s lineup.
Don’t have a firm confirmation just yet, but I am expecting a change in the TLC card to be made tonight on RAW.

That’s pretty vague, so who knows what they are referring to there. It could lead to a stipulation on some of the matches or somebody removed from a match. It could be anything, really. Find out on Raw tonight, I guess.
