WWE United States Championship
Antonio Cesaro (c) defeated R-Truth. Following the match, Matt Striker interviewed Antonio Cesaro to get Cesaro’s response to the negative reaction he got from the fans. Cesaro says that unlike America, he is a dominant super power and is the greatest United States Champion in history and says that by booing him, people are booing America, which is appropriate since they have no respect for their own citizens. Cesaro then drops the mic and holds the title.
Backstage Segment
Josh Mathews is in the back with Dolph Ziggler hyping his upcoming match. Ziggler says that his match with John Cena doesn’t make sense as if Cena wins, he gets the briefcase, something that he lost earlier in the year for an opportunity at the WWE Championship. Ziggler says that if he wins, he gets to keep his briefcase, but what’s in it for him if Cena loses and then suggests that Cena should put his career on the line to make things fair.
In Ring Segment
The Miz makes his way out and introduces his guests as 3MB calling them a trainwreck. Slater responds to the trainwreck comments and Miz asks how they can call themselves an actual band. McIntyre takes the mic and insults Jay-Z and Brooklyn, as Slater promises that there will be a live performance from 3MB on RAW tomorrow night. 3MB then turn their attention to the spanish announce team and go after one of the announcers. Ricardo Rodriguez runs out and tries to reason with them, however they attack Ricardo, prompting Alberto del Rio to run out and attack 3MB, who gain the upper hand with the numbers advantage. Miz comes in an attacks Slater and clotheslines Mahal out of the ring. 3MB propose a match for tonight as the three of them will face The Miz, Alberto Del Rio and a partner of there choosing, which Miz says isn’t a problem.
Backstage Segment
Kane and Daniel Bryan are in the back. Bryan tells Kane that he tried to talk to Ryback, but all he kept hearing was “Feed Me More, Feed Me More, Feed Me More” and that he can’t stand people that repeat themselves. Kane promised that The Shield will be fed to Ryback tonight, which prompts Bryan to say “YES, YES, YES”

Matt Striker is in the back with Wade Barrett prior to the WWE Intercontinental Championship match with Kofi Kingston. Barrett says that he is very confident in walking out the new Champion.
WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Kofi Kingston (c) defeated Wade Barrett. Following the match, Justin Roberts introduced CM Punk and Paul Heyman who were in a luxury box inside the arena. Punk says that everyone wants a status update on his knee and passes it to Heyman who says “Fuhgeddaboudit”. Punk says that it was hard to leave his hometown of Chicago to come to the “slums of Staten Island” in Brooklyn and says that the fans cheered Ryback when he hurt him and says that he gets it, because just like Ryback, the fans have never been Champions and are dumb like Ryback. Punk says that Ryback is lucky that he can’t compete and says that he’s the most dangerous man in the company, especially in TLC matches and says that Ryback is beatable, which The Shield, who he isn’t affiliated with in any way, will prove. Punk says that no one will take his WWE Championship and that he started 2012 as WWE Champion and will end it as that and enter 2013 as that.
6 Man Tag Team TLC Match
The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns) defeated Ryback & Team Hell No (Kane & Daniel Bryan. This is one of the two matches that I would highly recommend checking out on this pay-per-view as it had everything you could’ve wanted from a TLC match with high risk moves, destruction and more.
WWE Divas Championship Match
Eve Torres (c) defeated Naomi.
Backstage Segment
Matt Striker is in tbe back with The Big Show who says that the smartest thing Sheamus could’ve done was to break the no contact clause, so that he didn’t get a chance to KO him tonight and said that if he can do that with bare hands, just imagine what it’ll feel like with a steel chair.
Chairs Match For The WWE World Heavyweight Championship
The Big Show (c) defeated Sheamus.
6 Man Tag Team Match
The Brooklyn Brawler, The Miz & Alberto del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez) defeated 3MB (Drew McIntyre, Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal).
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Dolph Ziggler defeated John Cena. The second match I’d highly recommend on this pay-per-view. Cena and Ziggler worked a very good match in front of a very pro-Ziggler crowd. The finish saw AJ push Cena off the ladder, then wondering what she had done before heading away, as Ziggler set the ladder back up and got the case.
