TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers portrayed heroes or villains as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[2][3]

At Survivor Series, Roman Reigns defeated Dean Ambrose in a tournament final to win the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but Sheamus then cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated Reigns to win the title.[4] The following night on Raw, Sheamus was scheduled to defend the championship against Reigns in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at the event.[5] On the November 30 episode of Raw, Reigns received an early title match, in which he would have to defeat Sheamus in under 5:15; Reigns won the match via disqualification, so he did not win the title.[6]

On the November 26 edition of SmackDown, Dean Ambrose defeated Tyler Breeze and Dolph Ziggler in a Triple Threat match to earn a Intercontinental Championship match against Kevin Owens at the event.[7]

On the November 30 edition of Raw, The Lucha Dragons and The Usos faced off in a #1 contenders match for The New Day's WWE Tag Team Championships. The New Day attacked both teams, causing a double-disqualification. Later, Stephanie McMahon decided that because neither team lost, both The Lucha Dragons and The Usos would challenge the champions in a Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder match.[6]

At Survivor Series, Charlotte defeated Paige via submission to retain the WWE Divas Championship.[4] The following night on Raw, after Paige stated that Charlotte had cheated the previous night, she received a rematch for the title, which ended in a double countout.[5] Following this, another match was set for TLC.[8]

On the November 23 edition of Raw, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper defeated The Dudley Boyz.[5] The Dudley Boyz then defeated Braun Strowman and Erick Rowan on the following episode of SmackDown.[7] On the November 30 edition of Raw, Tommy Dreamer returned to the WWE and joined The Dudley Boyz, after which the two groups fought to a no contest. On the December 3 edition of SmackDown, Wyatt defeated D-Von Dudley.[9] On the December 7 edition of Raw, Rhyno returned to the WWE and joined The Dudley Boyz, after which it was announced that The Dudley Boyz, Dreamer and Rhyno would face The Wyatt Family in a 8-man Tag Team Elimination Tables match at the event.[8]

On November 30, Ryback interrupted Lana's return to Raw and defeated Rusev by countout in an impromptu match.[6] After a rematch the following week ended in a double countout,[8] another match was scheduled for TLC.

At Hell in a Cell, Alberto Del Rio won the WWE United States Championship and joined forces with manager Zeb Colter,[10] leading to confrontations with Colter's former protege, Jack Swagger. Though Del Rio ended his association with Colter on the December 7 episode of Raw, a title defense against Swagger in a Chairs match was scheduled for TLC.[8]

On December 13, it was announced on WWE.com that Becky Lynch would face Sasha Banks on the TLC Kickoff show.[11]

Aftermath

In a fit of rage after failing to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the event, Roman Reigns attacks Sheamus, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio with a Spear and a steel chair. Triple H then came to the ring to calm Reigns down and tend to Sheamus, but as he did so Reigns attacks him with a Superman Punch and steel chair shots, then attacking him on the Spanish announce table. Reigns finished up by spearing Triple H while he was helped by two referees, leaving him injured and out of action. On the following nights Raw after a heated conversation with Stephanie McMahon, Reigns is then confronted by Vince McMahon who demands an apology for what he did to Triple H. After Reigns refused, Sheamus came to the entrance and requested a match with Reigns that night, even putting the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line due to his confidence in beating him. McMahon made the match official after Reigns mocked him of his age under the condition that if Reigns fails to win the title he will be fired. Despite Sheamus gaining interference from Mr. McMahon and The League of Nations, Reigns pinned Sheamus to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

After winning the Intercontinental Championship, a match between Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler took place where Kevin Owens interfered and attacked both of them.

After losing to The Wyatt Family, an Extreme Rules rematch took place between The Wyatt Family and The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno but they lost again.
