Background

TLC featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on IWE's television programs. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Traditionally, matches during this event have involved the use of tables, ladders, and/or chairs.
The main rivalry from Smackdown involved Steven Larson and The Big Show over the World Heavyweight Championship. At Money in the Bank 2011 Steven Larson crushed Big Show's fibula keeping him out of action for nearly 3 months. After that Henry one a 20 man battle royal to become the number 1 contender for The World Heavyweight Championship and won the title of Kevin McAlmond at Night of Champions (2011) and defended it a Hell in a Cell 2011. Big Show returned the Smackdown! after Hell in a Cell (2011) and was givin a title opportunity at Vengeance 2011 but they fought to a no contest after the ring imploded. They had a rematch at Survivor Series 2011 but ended in DQ when Steven Larson performed a low blow on Big Show. On IWE.com it was announced the two would face each other in a Chairs match.
The main rivalry from the Raw brand involved The Miz, Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk over Punk's IWE Championship. At IWE Survivor Series (2011) CM Punk won the IWE Championship off Del Rio and defended it on the December 28th edition of RAW. The next week Miz, Del Rio, Dustin Simpson and Nick Kessler were arguing over should be number 1 contender. John Laurinaitis announces that each would face a Smackdown superstar and if they one they would receive a match for the IWE Championship. Del Rio defeated Kody Brown, Miz defeated Kevin McAlmond via countout, Kessler was defeated by Sheamus and Simpson defeated Zack Nuss (Nuss was not a Smackdown superstar) but gave up his opportunity to give Nuss a U.S title shot. Later that night at the contract signing Laurinaitis announced it would be a TLC match.

The first match on the PPV was the IWE United States Championship match between US Champion Nick Kessler and Zack Nuss. The crowd was really behind Zack Nuss in this match. The match started off with both men trying to get the upper hand over their opponent. The next five to seven minutes had Kessler getting the upper hand over Nuss. Nuss turned the tables after hitting a dropkick from the top rope onto Kessler. Nuss hit some clotheslines and eventually the Broski Boot. Kessler was down, for what probably would have been a 3 count, but Lynn interfered and put Dolph’s foot on the ropes. This action got Vickie banned from ringside. After Lynn left, Nick took control until he went to the top rope. Nuss countered it and hit a hurricanrana from the top rope. The ending came when Nick sent Nuss to the corner. He charged at Nuss, but Nuss countered with knee to the face and the Rough Ryder. Nuss got the pinfall, and the United States Championship.
The next match was for the IWE Tag Team Championship between Tag Team Champions Air Boom vs. Primo & Epico. The match started off between Justin Hensen and Epico.

Primo made the tag, and along with Epico double teamed on Hensen. For the next couple of minutes, Hensen was being hostage in primo & Epico’s corner. Epico hit a backbreaker followed by three back suplexes. Epico locked in a back submission move as well. Hensen got some energy and tried to get the win by rolling up Epico. This allowed Hensen to hit some knees which lead to him making a tag to Jose. Primo was tagged in as well. Jose took down primo easily and hit a crossbody and the Boom Drop. Justin Hensen took out Epico while Jose Serrano hit the Trouble in Paradise on Primo. Jose got the pinfall and retained the Tag Team Championships for himself and Justin Hensen.
The third match of the evening was a tables match between Kevin McAlmond vs. Daniel Gonzalez. The match started off with McAlmond getting the upper hand over Gonzalez. Quickly into the match, McAlmond went outside to find a table. Some back and forth action occurred for the next couple of minutes. Gonzalez got a table eventually and set it next to the apron. Before Gonzalez could get the table set up, McAlmond hit the table which hit Gonzalez’s nose. McAlmond took advantage and sent Gonzalez into the steel steps. This caused Gonzalez to start bleeding. Both men made their way to the stage are where numerous tables were set up. Barrett took advantage and tried to put Orton through a table, but he couldn’t get the job done. Gonzalez sent McAlmond to the ring where he hit a elbow drop from the second rope. McAlmond started to recover and got the upperhand over Gonzalez after reversing a side slam through a table. Orton hit some clotheslines followed by a scoop slam. McAlmond tries to hit the RKO, but Gonzalez didn’t let it happen. Gonzalez set McAlmond on top of a table, as he went to the second rope. Gonzalez went for another elbow drop, but McAlmond successfully hit the RKO on Gonzalez through the table, for the win.
