Ranking the Main Events In TLC PPV History

#3 Dolph Ziggler def. John Cena - Ladder Match, TLC 2012

This would soon lead to the stable of Ziggler, AJ Lee and Big E

The main event of the 2012 edition of TLC was a one-on-one Money in the Bank ladder match, with John Cena challenging Dolph Ziggler for the contract that he had won fair-and-square.

They had a back-and-forth match that everybody was sure John Cena would win, thanks to AJ Lee, who had spent the year messing with Cena, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk before eventually choosing to back Cena, Ziggler took down the briefcase and was declared the winner.

Lee, who appeared to be skipping around the ring to celebrate Cena’s victory, instead pushed over the ladder, allowing Ziggler to nail a superkick to put Cena out. He would climb the ladder and retain his briefcase.

This spelt the end of the Vickie Guerrero-Dolph Ziggler partnership and led to Big E becoming Ziggler’s bodyguard, so there are some memorable events that came from the conclusion of this contest as well.
