Reported by Ernest Aguilar

Let the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs casualties begin. We start by just saying, there is no John Cena……again, no John Cena scheduled for this entire PPV, not even a special whatever has been scheduled. Give it up to the WWE to make the "John Cena Sucks" shirts, but no ice cream bars yet. He will be somewhere, somehow in the PPV.

Tonight, WWE's TLC: Tables, Ladders, & Chairs is live from the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.

Our 1st Match is Dolph Ziggler(c) vs. Zack Ryder for the WWE United States Championship.

Ziggler starts this showing off, very cocky attitude. Ryder is just getting this crowd behind 100% with a jump over the top rope to take out Ziggler on the outside of the ring. He is stopped just as fast with his head contacting the edge of the mat from Ziggler. Number of elbow drops to the chest and back of Ryder from Ziggler gets himself a 2 count.

"Lets go Ryder. Woo Woo Woo" rains from the crowd. Ziggler keeping this match to the ground with a sleeper but a quick drop kick gets Ryder a long, but very close 2.9 count. Ryder hits a boot to the face. Just as Ryder was about to get the three count, Vicki lifts the boot of Ziggler on the bottom rope. Vicki has now been asked to leave ring side.

Both men keep trading shots and attempted pin falls but we roll on with a big drop kick to Ryder. #Heel is very close to being pinned after a Ryder hurricanrana from the top rope. Few more traded shots, Ryder hits the Rough Ryder on a dazed Ziggler. Pin attempt gets a 1-2-3!

Evan starts off the match but is quickly taken down. Quick tag to Kofi and he controls the match against Primo. Both teams get tags but Evan gets thrown to the outside the hard way from both men.

By Far, the TLC match with Miz, Alberto, and Punk was match of the night. Cuffing Punk to the turnbuckle to then have Punk dismantle it was awesome. I only know of one more better thing, there was no Cena in the PPV, not Promo, no camera time.

Daniel Bryan winning was a surprise but also expected to happen before WM.

Next PPV will be the Royal Rumble on 1/29/2012..Yea, Already 2012. Have a safe, fun, and awesome holidays everybody! Happy New Year!!
