The aerobic TCA is dependent on mitochondria and since the earliest cells couldn't have had mitochondria they probably relied on anaerobic glycolysis.

What is anaerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic cellular respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. Without the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration cannot go past Glycolysis (the first step of cellular respiration) and will be forced to find an alternative route which is, fermentation. Hope this helped.
