TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2012) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE, which will take place on December 16, 2012, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.[1] The event will be WWE's last pay-per-view event in 2012.[1]
Background
TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs involves different wrestlers from scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that have played out on WWE's television programs. Wrestlers portrayed a villain or a hero as they follow a series of events that built tension, and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches.[2]
Big Show became the reigning World Heavyweight Champion on October 28, 2012, at the Hell in a Cell performance after defeating then reigning champion Sheamus in a match to contend for the title.[3] The conflict between Big Show and Sheamus intensified after the match, leading to Big Show's attack on Sheamus and William Regal while the two were visiting an English pub during WWE's European tour.[1] Another fight broke out between the two of them in a parking lot during the November 16 episode of SmackDown.[1] The conflict reached its worst during their Survivor Series rematch fight: the Big Show used a referee to shield himself from one of Sheamus's attacks and managed to deliver a knock out punch while Sheamus was checking on the downed referee.[1][4] This foul play ultimately caused the Big Show to be disqualified from the match, meaning he would retain his title until a contender could defeat him.[1] Shortly after failing to regain the title, Sheamus attacked Big Show using a steel chair while the Big Show pleaded for a cessation of the attacks.[1] Sheamus relented, but followed up the beating by performing his finishing move, the Brogue Kick, on the Big Show.[1] Therefore, the 2012 chairs match between Big Show and Sheamus was first announced on the November 23 episode of SmackDown by SmackDown General Manager Booker T.[1] TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs events are an emotional point for Big Show as he both gained and then lost his title during the last event held in 2011 in a record of 45 seconds, as a result of Daniel Bryan cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase after Mark Henry knocked out Show post-match.[1]
CM Punk, the reigning WWE Champion, began longing for respect from everybody else. Ryback has challenged him for the title, but failed to defeat Punk at Hell in the Cell due to former referee Brad Maddox's interference.[5] In a Survivor Series triple threat match with John Cena and Punk, Ryback again failed to take the title because three men from NXT assaulted him: Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.[5] After defeating Titus O'Neill in a singles match on the November 26 episode of WWE Raw, Ryback demanded a tables, ladders, and chairs match against Punk and refused to leave the ring until it was arranged.[6] Vickie Guerrero made the match official.[5]
Leading up to Survivor Series, Wade Barrett replaced the Miz as the final entrant of Team Ziggler, matching up with Kofi Kingston. During the match between Team Foley and Team Ziggler, Barrett would pinned Kingston to eliminate him. On the November 19 episode of Raw, Barrett would defeat Kingston in a non-title match, earning a future title match.
