TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which took place on December 13, 2009 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. It featured talent from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. Seven matches were scheduled for the event.
The concept of the show is based around the primary matches of the card each containing a stipulation utilizing tables, ladders and chairs as legal weapons. The event's concept was voted by fans via WWE's official website and was chosen over an event with street fight main events and an event featuring a single-elimination tournament. The primary matches included Christian defeating Shelton Benjamin in a Ladder match for the ECW Championship, Sheamus defeating John Cena in a Tables match to become the new WWE Champion, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker, defeating Batista in a Chair match to retain his title and the main event, where D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) defeated Chris Jericho and The Big Show in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. Other matches in the card included John Morrison versus Drew McIntyre for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Michelle McCool versus Mickie James for the WWE Women's Championship and Randy Orton versus Kofi Kingston.
A second TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event is scheduled to take place on December 19, 2010 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
