WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs: Watch the action on Sky Sports 1
See how John Cena fared in a Tables Match against Seth Rollins
Monday 15 December 2014 09:37, UK
WWE went weapon crazy this weekend.
Presents, crackers and turkey may feature on December 25 but tables, ladders and chairs were the order of the day on Sunday as the WWE Superstars clattered each other at TLC.
But don't panic if you missed the carnage, as you can watch what went down in Cleveland, Ohio when the show is repeated at 9pm on Monday evening on Sky Sports 3.
WWE TLC was vital for John Cena, who went one-on-one with Seth Rollins in a Tables Match knowing that if he suffered defeat he would be forced to forego his future WWE World Heavyweight Title shot against Brock Lesnar.
Cena secured a date with The Beast Incarnate by beating Randy Orton inside Hell in a Cell in October and remained determined to rip sports entertainment's ultimate prize from Lesnar after Rollins prevented him winning the strap at Night of Champions.
But a tumble through a table inside the Quicken Loans Arena would spell curtains – at least temporarily – for Cena's title ambitions, so did The Architect break his heart?
That's the tables sorted, then, but ladders and chairs were wielded maniacally, too, in the bouts between Dolph Ziggler and Luke Harper and Kane and Ryback respectively.
Ziggler tried to reclaim the Intercontinental Title from Harper when the belt hovered above the ring during a Ladder Match, while nemeses Kane and Ryback squared off in a Chairs Match.
Wreckage
Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose, however, utilised tables, ladders AND chairs when they did battle in Ohio, in a TLC contest where craziness was all-but guaranteed.
The rivals’ first clash, at Survivor Series, ended in chaos when Wyatt goaded Ambrose into whacking him with a steel chair, resulting in a win via disqualification for The Eater of Worlds.
However, Ambrose was far from frustrated at his loss and instead took glee in attacking Wyatt further, leaving the backwoods brawler under a pile of chairs and tables and then learning he would get a rematch with the sermon-spewing Superstar in the TLC environment.
Elsewhere, “Big Red” Erick Rowan stood up to Big Show when he combatted The World’s Largest Athlete in a Steel Stairs Match, while WWE Tag Team Champions, The Miz and Damien Mizdow, defended their belts against The Usos.
Meanwhile, AJ Lee tried to regain the Divas Championship from Nikki Bella and Jack Swagger attempted to poach Rusev's United States Title, as well as punish the Bulgarian for assaulting mentor Zeb Colter.
Plus, on the TLC pre-show, The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Big E wrestled the cosmic tandem of former WWE Tag Team Champions Gold and Stardust.
