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 when Big Show used a referee to shield himself from Sheamus's Brogue Kick therefore getting himself disqualified.[1][4] Shortly after failing to regain the title, Sheamus attacked Big Show using a steel chair.[1] Sheamus eventually relented after Big Show begged him to stop, but followed up the beating by performing his finishing move, the Brogue Kick, on the Big Show.[1] Another rematch between Big Show and Sheamus was announced on the November 23 episode of SmackDown by SmackDown General Manager Booker T.[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] For costing him the match, Ryback would defeat Maddox in a singles match, assaulting him afterwards and denying Maddox a spot of the WWE roster.[6] 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.[7]
Leading up to Survivor Series, Wade Barrett replaced the Miz as the final entrant of Team Ziggler, matching up with Kofi Kingston. During the Survivor Series tag team match between Team Foley and Team Ziggler, Barrett managed to pin Kingston and eliminate him.[8] On the November 19 episode of Raw, Barrett defeated Kingston in a non-title match.[9] During the November 26 edition of Raw, Barrett was finally granted a match to vie for the Intercontinental Championship title at the Tables, Ladders & Chairs event.[10]
