#3 John Cena vs. Seth Rollins: Tables Match (WWE TLC 2014)

Despite it being a pretty average show, TLC 2014 makes another appearance on this list. There hasn't been a better Tables Match in the pay-per-view's history than the time John Cena and Seth Rollins faced off in the aftermath of The Authority being banished from WWE. This was a more than serviceable match featuring two of the top stars in the company at the time.

Rollins and Cena have incredible chemistry, as would be evident in future match-ups with each other. This bout showcased that in spades, with the two even in sync for a double table spot. Both men crashed through separate tables at the same time, resulting in the match being restarted.

The Big Show, who had just won the aforementioned Stairs Match against Erick Rowan, interfered and seemed to gift the victory to Seth Rollins at TLC. However, the return of Roman Reigns stopped that from happening. The Big Dog speared Big Show, before setting Rollins up for defeat.

Reigns assisted John Cena in defeating The Architect, with an Attitude Adjustment through a leaning table doing the job. This match went over 23 minutes, possibly the longest a Tables Match has ever gone. It was still pretty good regardless.
