This Sunday night, the WWE presents the sixth annual TLC Tables, Ladders and Chairs (and stairs) event live from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
Chris Jericho Wants a Match With Daniel Bryan
Since its inception in 2009, TLC has been one of the most dangerous nights of the year on the WWE calendar as the WWE Superstars put their bodies at risk for the sake of entertainment and victory.
Here are our Top 5 moments in WWE TLC history:
Chael Sonnen Says He Knows Who CM Punk Will Face In His UFC Debut
Honorable Mention: 2009-Sheamus Wins Gold: Sheamus won his first WWE Championship when he defeated John Cena in a Tables Match at TLC 2009. "The Celtic Warrior" knocked Cena off of the top turnbuckle through a table to win the bout. Sheamus would continue to have a solid career, but the jumping off point occurred when he topped Cena at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX.
5) 2012-The Shield Stands Tall: One of the best matches in the history event occurred at TLC 2012 when the now-defunct Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose) battled Ryback and Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan & Kane) in a six-man Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at the Barclays Center in the WWE's first-ever event from Brooklyn. The match saw a great clash of styles that had each man get their spots in while the big men meshed well with the smaller guys. In the end, the "Hounds of Justice" walked away the winners, further solidifying themselves as one of the best stables in the history of the company.
4) 2013-Titles Finally Unified: While any matchup between John Cena and Randy Orton is stale at this point, the WWE FINALLY decided to unify the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships into one title as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was created. Orton and Cena battled in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at last year's event live from the Toyota Center in Houston. In the end, Orton stood tall as the first ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion in one of the few times Cena has lost in a big spot on pay-per-view.
3) 2011-The Reign of Punk Continues: CM Punk won the WWE Championship from Alberto Del Rio at the 2011 Survivor Series and entered TLC 2011 looking to successfully defend the gold on pay-per-view for the first time since his reign started. Punk took on The Miz and Alberto Del Rio in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match in the main event. With the odds stacked against him, the "Best in the World" walked out of the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore with his championship in what would amount to a 434-day reign as the WWE Champion.
2) 2010-Sixth Crown for Edge: WWE Hall of Famer Edge became the World Heavyweight Champion for the sixth time in his career when he defeated then-champion Kane, Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio in a Fatal 4 Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the gold. The end of the match saw Edge spear Kane off of the apron through a table with Mysterio and Del Rio down and out. Edge then climbed up the ladder and grabbed the title to walk out of the Toyota Center in Houston as the champion.
1) 2011-YES! For Daniel Bryan: Daniel Bryan was ever the opportunist at TLC 2011 in Baltimore when he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to win the World Heavyweight Championship. After The Big Show defeated Mark Henry in a brutal Chairs Match to win the title, Henry knocked him out with a DDT through several chairs. With Show lying prone on the ground, Bryan came out to cash in his title shot and ended up leaving the 1st Mariner Arena as the new World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career.
TLC has given the WWE Universe plenty of great memories throughout the years, and it will be interesting to see what the WWE has in store when Tables, Ladders and Chairs (and stairs) goes live this Sunday from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
