Edge & Rey Mysterio vs. WWE Champion The Miz & Alberto Del Rio ended in a No Contest
Just when it looked like Edge and Rey Mysterio were about to win their tag team main event with a 619-Spear combination, they were interrupted by the explosive entrance of the irate World Heavyweight Champion Kane. As the mayhem unfolded, the entire SmackDown locker room sprinted to the ring to try and separate The Devils Favorite Demon from The Rated-R Superstar. When The Big Red Monster broke free and tried to reengage his maniacal adversary, Edge Speared him to the canvas. The Big Red Monsters SmackDown assault confirmed that the World Heavyweight Championship will be decided in a Fatal 4-Way TLC Match at this Sundays pay-per-view.

The WWE TLC Tag Team Tables Match Divas confronted each other

When Michelle and Layla attacked, Layla nearly ended up suplexed into her gift. But, Michelle rescued her partner-in-flawless and the two quickly scrambled out of the ring.
WWE Champion The Miz def. Rey Mysterio
As Alex Riley was distracting the referee, an emerging Alberto Del Rio tripped up Rey Mysterio, nearly costing him his match with The Miz. While The Master of the 619 dished out retribution on his aristocratic adversary, The Miz regrouped. Mysterio went for the splash, but The Awesome One lifted his knees, paving the way for him to pick up the quick victory. After the bell, Del Rio attacked Mysterio, inciting Edge to take up the fight. The Miz got involved as well, convincing SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long to set up a tag team main event between the four Superstars.

SmackDown! Results:
TLC master prevails
In a brutal battle with Kane, Edge, Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio all vying for the World Title, The Rated-R Superstar dethroned The Big Red Monster in a match format many describe as his specialty. In fact, it was Edge seventh time in a TLC Match and he was in the first TLC Match ever at SummerSlam 2000. On this night, Edge Speared Kane off the ring apron and through a table, allowing The Ultimate Opportunist to ascend a ladder and claim his prize. Throughout the bout, tables, ladders and chairs all came into play, as each Superstar used each weapon to his advantage. In one high-risk move, The Rated-R Superstar jumped from atop a ladder, crushing Kane through a table outside the ring. Showing no fear, Rey Mysterio utilized tables suspended from the ceiling to launch himself onto Kane. Ultimately, though, it was Edge who was able to absorb all the punishment thrown his way and go on to become champion. With Kane already rattled by Edge before WWE TLC, how will The Big Red Monster respond to having his title taken away? Plus with Paul Bearers heath in question, will the former champion wallow in self-misery, or will we see The Devils Favorite Demon sink to new depths of evil to regain what was once his? Not to be overlooked in the World Heavyweight Title picture history are Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio, who both had championship glory within their grasp in the TLC bout. What will they do next?
Fumble Finish
At WWE TLC, Dolph Ziggler retained his Intercontinental Championship over Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger in a Triple Threat Ladder Match that ended in unprecedented controversy. With their golden prize glistening overhead, Ziggler, Kingston and Swagger fought tooth-and-nail amidst the unpredictable rungs of ruin, feverishly struggling to ascend a ladder before their opponents in order to snatch victory and ultimate glory. In the climactic moments, Kofi and Swagger both stood at the top of the ladder, simultaneously trying to yank the daggling title free. But, in a finish that left the WWE Universe completely breathless, the championship title suddenly broke loose, escaping both their grasps and falling to the canvas below. As time seemed to stand still, a scrambling Ziggler lunged for the gold, pulling it to his chest to steal the bizarre victory. None of the high-caliber Superstars had battled in a regular Ladder Match before tonights WWE TLC. However, their combined experience in Money in the Bank Ladder Matches Kofi competing in three, Ziggler in two and Swagger not only taking part in one, but triumphing to win the World Heavyweight Title five days later added tremendously experience to their already intense showdown. Each fierce SmackDown grappler also brought his own potential for mayhem into the ring. Kingstons explosive high-flying style, as well as his ability to hit Trouble in Paradise from any position, seemed tailor-made for the high-altitude insanity of the Ladder Match. Swaggers infamous ankle lock and an arsenal of technically superior maneuvers were second only to his ruthless nature. And, Ziggler possessed an increasing notorious sleeper hold and powerful Zig Zag. In addition to their tremendous skill, the incredible ability of all three Superstars to transform the simple climbing device into a weapon of mat" destruction and a launching pad for outright chaos kept the WWE Universe on the edge of its seat from start to finish. With all the weapons that could play a factor in the outcome of the match, no one could have predicted that it would all come down to who had the surest pair of hands.
Starting off with a bang
Mere hours before he would step in the ring to face John Cena in a Chairs Match, Wade Barrett made his cruel intentions clear at the expense of Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov. Brutalizing the WWE Tag Team Champions with a steel chair following their disqualification victory over Nexus members Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel, the vicious Englishman sent a direct message to John Cena their battle later in the night would be a war. The underhanded act was yet another example of the brutal lengths The Nexus is willing to go to in order to make an impact. After losing their WWE Tag Team Titles to Marella & Kozlov on the Dec. 6 edition of Raw, Slater & Gabriel should have been focused on getting their slimy hands back on the championships. But tonight wasn't about title glory, it was about putting fear into John Cena. With Nexus brutes Husky Harris & Michael McGillicutty causing a disqualification after blatantly attacking Kozlov, the four members of the yellow and black horde immediately swarmed on the WWE Tag Team Champions and began to tear them apart. And then Wade Barrett entered. Stalking to the ring with a steel chair in his clenched fist, Barrett looked like a man intent on raising hell and did just that, battering the hapless tag team with vicious whacks from the chair. Standing above the fallen bodies, the Englishman exuded an air of supreme confidence that seemed to form a much-needed solidarity in The Nexus
Lay(-Cool)ing it all on the table
Divas Champion Natalya & Beth Phoenix defeated Michelle McCool & Layla in the first-ever Divas Tag Team Tables Match at WWE TLC. The tension among these pairs of best friends erupted in an intense battle, as the third-generation Diva & The Glamazon proved their bond is the strongest. Despite Lay-Cools efforts to level the Divas Champion with a double superplex, Natalya fought them both off and tossed them through a table. Moments after Natalya claimed the Divas Championship at Survivor Series, her friend, Beth Phoenix, returned, surprising the WWE Universe and Lay-Cool. The Glamazon proved to SmackDowns resident Mean Girls that shes back and poised to make an impact in the Divas division alongside her trusty pal, Natalya. However, Michelle McCool made a comeback for her squad, winning the Diva Battle Royal on Raw, securing the 2010 Slammy Award for Diva of the Year for herself and Layla. This earned the devious duo a spot in the historic Divas Tag Team Table Match against the Divas Champion & The Glamazon. But no Lay-Cool Slammy Award could stop Natalya from plunging both Michelle & Layla through a table. It was a moment that will live in infamy in Divas history; a moment truly proving that a twosome like Divas Champion Natalya & The Glamazon are unstoppable together, even when it comes to the once-dominant Lay-Cool.
