WWE Champion CM Punk, Alberto Del
Rio and The Miz will square off in a
Triple Threat Tables, Ladders & Chairs
Match with the WWE Title on the line.
Only one man can leave a winner when
the current and two former WWE
Champions meet in the first-ever Triple
Threat TLC Match for the WWE
Championship at WWE TLC: Tables,
Ladders & Chairs, live on pay-per-view
Sunday, Dec. 18.
Executive Vice President of Talent
Relations and Interim Raw General
Manager John Laurinaitis announced
this high-octane match where the
Superstars will use tables, ladders and
chairs as weapons and as tools to reach
the WWE Title, which will be suspended
some 20 feet in the air over the ring.
Dangerous, harrowing and thrilling, TLC
matches push competitors to the limit
physically and mentally as they battle
at dizzying heights in their quest for
squared circle immortality.
The Miz and Del Rio had to defeat two
SmackDown Superstars - Randy Orton
and Daniel Bryan, respectively - on Raw
Supershow to earn their spots in the
WWE TLC Match. While John Cena was
named as another participant, he gave
up his chance at the WWE Title to give
his friend, Zack Ryder, an opportunity
to earn a U.S. Title Match against Dolph
Ziggler.
Since CM Punk won the WWE
Championship from Alberto Del Rio at
Survivor Series, The Mexican
Aristocrat has been pining for an
opportunity to get the title back.
Although he was unsuccessful in his
first bid to recapture the WWE
Championship, Del Rio can look forward
to another crack at The Second City
Savior, along with another dangerous
former champion.
The Miz, the third competitor in the
Triple Threat Match, is flying solo after
separating from tag team partner R-
Truth. After The Rock and John Cena
defeated The Awesome Truth at
Survivor Series, the Cenation leader
confronted The Miz and R-Truth. He
played mind games on the
underhanded pair, culminating in them
turning on each other and Miz blasting
Truth with a brutal Skull Crushing
Finale on the steel entrance ramp.
A loner again, The Awesome One looks
to regain the WWE Championship and
then get revenge on Cena. Not one to
be limited to one rivalry, The Miz
attacked CM Punk. Having to defend
himself from Del Rio and The Miz, Punk
must feel like hes being assailed on all
sides; and that includes certain WWE
management.
John
Laurinaitis has
been having
difficulties with
the title
holder. The
Voice of the
Voiceless has
already promised change and overhaul
as he continues his second reign as
WWE Champion. This does
not appear to sit very well with the
Interim GM, who is unable to even say
"CM Punk" and "WWE Champion" in the
same sentence. Laurinaitis placing
Punk in such a difficult and grueling
match is certainly a questionable
decision.
All bets are off when WWE Champion
CM Punk, Alberto Del Rio and The Miz
step into the ring for a Triple Threat
Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match on Dec.
18. No matter which Superstar is
victorious, the WWE Universe will see
exciting, high-flying action.
