The 2013 '''TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs''' was the fifth annual [[WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs|TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of WWE pay-per-view and WWE Network events|event]] produced by [[WWE]]. It took place on December 15, 2013, at the [[Toyota Center]] in [[Houston, Texas]].

Nine matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, [[WWE Championship|WWE Champion]] [[Randy Orton]] defeated [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002–2013)|World Heavyweight Champion]] [[John Cena]] in a [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match|Winner Takes All Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]] to [[Championship unification|unify]] the titles as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The unified title continued the lineage of the WWE Championship while the World Heavyweight Championship was retired. In other prominent matches, [[Cody Rhodes and Goldust]] retained the [[WWE Raw Tag Team Championship|WWE Tag Team Championship]] in a [[fatal four-way tag team elimination match]], [[The Wyatt Family]] ([[Bray Wyatt]], [[Luke Harper]], and [[Erick Rowan]]) defeated [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]] in a 3-on-1 [[handicap match]], and in the opening bout, [[CM Punk]] defeated [[The Shield (professional wrestling)|The Shield]] ([[Roman Reigns]], [[Seth Rollins]], and [[Dean Ambrose]]) in a 3-on-1 handicap match.

=== Background ===
[[File:Toyota Center entr.jpg|thumb|right|The event was held at the [[Toyota Center]] in [[Houston]], [[Texas]].]]
[[WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs|TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs]] was an annual [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) produced every December by [[WWE]] since 2009. The [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)|concept]] of the show was based on the primary matches of the card each containing a stipulation using [[Table (furniture)|tables]], [[ladder]]s, and [[folding chair|chairs]] as legal weapons, with the main event generally being a [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Preview:Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. D-Generation X (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match)|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/wwetlc/matches/12728814/preview/|work=[[WWE]]|access-date=November 24, 2009}}</ref><ref name="poll">{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1251226228.php|title=WWE issues a new online fan survey|publisher= WrestleView|date=August 25, 2009|access-date=October 13, 2009}}</ref> The 2013 event was the fifth  TLC.

In December 2014, [[CM Punk]] revealed in his podcast interview with [[Colt Cabana]] that he requested the day of the event off to attend [[C. J. Wilson]]'s wedding; however, the company failed to fulfill his request. As a result, he and his girlfriend at the time (now wife) [[AJ Lee]]'s matches went first and second so they could leave on time and attend the wedding in California the same day.<ref>{{Citation|last=ColtCabana|title=CM Punk (Returns) - Art of Wrestling Ep 227 w/ COLT CABANA|date=December 3, 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkROZ-vJYTE&t=48m26s|access-date=December 21, 2017}}</ref>
=== Storylines ===
The event comprised nine matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], or [[Tweener (professional wrestling)|less distinguishable characters]] in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television programs, ''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]'' and ''[[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]''.<ref name="HSW">{{cite web|title=How Pro Wrestling Works|date=January 13, 2006|url=https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm|last=Grabianowski|first=Ed|work=HowStuffWorks|publisher=[[Discovery Communications]]|access-date=March 5, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131129050844/https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm|archive-date=November 29, 2013}}</ref><ref name=WWEnt>{{cite web|title=Live & Televised Entertainment|url=https://corporate.wwe.com/company/events.jsp|work=[[WWE]]|access-date=March 21, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218142749/https://corporate.wwe.com/company/events.jsp|archive-date=February 18, 2009}}</ref>
The main rivalry heading into TLC featured the [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002–2013)|World Heavyweight Champion]] [[John Cena]], and the [[WWE Championship|WWE Champion]] [[Randy Orton]], over who was the proverbial "face of the WWE". Ever since [[SummerSlam (2013)|SummerSlam]] in August, Orton had been engaged in a feud with [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]] over the WWE Championship, and owing to his alliance with The Authority ([[Triple H]] and [[Stephanie McMahon]]), finally settled his rivalry with Bryan at the [[Hell in a Cell (2013)|Hell in a Cell]] event, defeating him in a [[Hell in a Cell]] match to win the WWE title for the [[List of WWE Champions|eighth time]]. However, over time, The Authority started showing doubt over Orton's ability to win matches on his own accord. To prove he still was their chosen "face of the WWE", Orton was made to defend his championship against the anti-Authority [[Big Show]] at [[Survivor Series (2013)|Survivor Series]] in November, who Orton defeated to retain his title, but only after Big Show was distracted by Triple H. Concurrently, Cena defeated [[Alberto Del Rio]] at Survivor Series to retain his World Heavyweight Championship in a rematch from the Hell in a Cell event, where Cena returned from an elbow injury seemingly before schedule, yet still defeated Del Rio to win the title for the [[List of World Heavyweight Champions (WWE)|third time]]. After Orton's victory at Survivor Series, Cena came down to the ring with his title, and celebrated with the crowd as The Authority looked on, much to Orton's chagrin. The next night, on the November 25 episode of ''Raw'', after another confrontation between the two [[championship (professional wrestling)|world champions]], Triple H announced that Orton would face Cena in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, with both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship on the line, at the TLC pay-per-view, with the winner becoming the "Champion of Champions".
Another championship match at the TLC pay-per-view saw AJ Lee defending the [[WWE Divas Championship]] against [[Natalya (wrestler)|Natalya]]. At Survivor Series, Natalya, along with Nikki Bella, were the "Survivors" after making AJ [[Professional wrestling#Submission|submit]] in a [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Elimination tag team matches|seven-on-seven Survivor Series elimination match]] between the "True Divas" and the [[Total Divas]]. On the December 2 episode of ''Raw'', Natalya [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinned]] AJ to secure a victory for her team in a six-Diva tag team match. After this string of non-title wins, Natalya was officially announced to challenge AJ for the Divas Championship at the TLC event.
Since late October, both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan had been assaulted by the [[The Wyatt Family|Wyatt Family]] ([[Bray Wyatt]], [[Luke Harper]], and [[Erick Rowan]]), which led to a [[tag team match]] at Survivor Series in November with Punk and Bryan going up against - and defeating - Harper and Rowan. The next night, on the November 25 episode of ''Raw'', Bryan was ([[kayfabe]]) "abducted" by the Wyatt Family, while Punk was ambushed by [[The Shield (professional wrestling)|The Shield]], another notorious three-man faction consisting of [[Dean Ambrose]], [[Seth Rollins]], and [[Roman Reigns]]. On the December 2 episode of ''Raw'', Punk tried tracing back the reason for the attack on him to Triple H, believing he called for Punk to be taken out for the latter's rebellious comments against The Authority. After these allegations were rebuked by Triple H's wife, [[Stephanie McMahon]], WWE's (kayfabe) Director of Operations, [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]], also came out to support The Authority, and after being insulted by Punk, announced a three-on-one [[handicap match]] at the TLC event, pitting Punk against all three members of The Shield. Also, on the same night, after defeating Erick Rowan, Bryan too was put in a three-on-one handicap match by Kane - much like Punk - to face all three members of the Wyatt Family at the TLC pay-per-view.
Also, on the December 9 episode of ''Raw'', [[Damien Sandow]] defeated [[Santino Marella]] to earn the right to face [[Big E Langston]] for the [[WWE Intercontinental Championship]] at the TLC event.
Also, on the December 13 episode of ''SmackDown'', it was announced that [[Gold and Stardust|Cody Rhodes and Goldust]] would defend the [[WWE Raw Tag Team Championship|WWE Tag Team Championship]] against The Real Americans ([[Jack Swagger]] and [[Antonio Cesaro]]), RybAxel ([[Ryback]] and [[Curtis Axel]]), and [[Big Show]] and [[Rey Mysterio]] in a [[fatal four-way tag team match]] at the pay-per-view.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/pwnet_mobile.html|title=Choose Prowrestling.NET Site Version|website=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|access-date=December 21, 2017}}</ref>
The TLC Kickoff pre-show featured [[Fandango (wrestler)|Fandango]] squaring off against [[Dolph Ziggler]]. This match was announced at the 2013 [[Slammy Award]]s edition of ''Raw'' on December 9, 2013.
[[Kofi Kingston]] and [[The Miz]] teamed together to face The Real Americans on the October 21 episode of ''Raw'', but at the end of the match, Miz turned on Kingston. This led to a match on the Survivor Series Kickoff pre-show, which Miz won. The feud continued and culminated in a no disqualifications match between Kofi Kingston and the Miz at the TLC event.

===Pre-show===
The TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs Kickoff pre-show included the Kickoff panel of [[Josh Mathews]], [[Mick Foley]], [[Booker T (wrestler)|Booker T]], and The Miz previewing the matches. Later on the Kickoff show, Kofi Kingston attacked The Miz in the panel, setting a [[No Disqualification match]] later at the event. Before the pay per view started, Fandango defeated Dolph Ziggler after a Diving Leg Drop.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
===Preliminary matches===
In the first match, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) faced CM Punk in a 3-on-1 Handicap match. In the end, Punk performed a Go To Sleep on Rollins before attempting another one on Ambrose, who countered. Reigns then attempted a spear on Punk, but Punk moved out of the way and Ambrose was hit instead. Punk threw Reigns out of the ring and pinned Ambrose to win the match.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
Next, AJ Lee defended the WWE Divas Championship against Natalya. The match ended when Natalya attempted to apply the Sharpshooter but AJ pulled Natalya's hair and pinned Natalya with a Roll Up to retain the title.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
After that, Big E Langston defended the Intercontinental Championship against Damien Sandow. Langston pinned Sandow after a Big Ending to retain the title.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
In the fourth match, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defended the WWE Tag Team Championship against Big Show and Rey Mysterio, Rybaxel (Ryback and Curtis Axel), and The Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro). RybAxel were eliminated after Goldust pinned Ryback with a Roll Up. The Real Americans were eliminated after Big Show pinned Cesaro following a KO Punch. Big Show and Mysterio were eliminated after Rhodes pinned Mysterio following Cross Rhodes, resulting in Rhodes and Goldust retaining the titles.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
Next, R-Truth faced Brodus Clay. R-Truth pinned Clay with a rollup to win the match.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
After that, Kofi Kingston faced The Miz in a no-disqualification match. In the end, Miz collided with an exposed turnbuckle and Kingston pinned Miz after Trouble in Paradise to win the match.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
In the penultimate match, Daniel Bryan faced The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan). Wyatt pinned Bryan after Sister Abigail to win the match.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
===Main event===
In the main event, WWE Champion Randy Orton faced World Heavyweight Champion John Cena in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match to unify the titles as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, both competitors used various weapons on each other including ladders and chairs, and attempted to retrieve the belts several times. Orton countered a Five Knuckle Shuffle attempt from Cena and threw him into a chair wedged in the corner but Cena instead performed a Five Knuckle Shuffle off a ladder on Orton. Cena then hit Orton off the apron with a ladder which sent him through a table set up at ringside. As Cena attempted to retrieve the belts, Orton pushed Cena off the ladder and performed an RKO on him. After the two brawled outside the ring, Orton hit Cena with a microphone before setting up for a Punt Kick, but Cena avoided the move and sent Orton through the Spanish announce table with an Attitude Adjustment.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
Cena attempted to retrieve the belts but Orton pushed the ladder over, leaving Cena hanging from the belts. Orton then hit Cena with a chair, knocking him down. Orton continued to hit Cena with a chair until Cena countered and drove Orton through a table set up in the corner. Orton retrieved a pair of handcuffs hidden under the floor and handcuffed Cena to the bottom rope before throwing the key away into the crowd. Cena tried to use a ladder and a chair to try and break the handcuffs as Orton set up another ladder and began to climb up. Cena eventually freed himself by unscrewing the turnbuckle and used the handcuffs to knock Orton off the ladder. Cena attempted to unhook the belts with one hand, but was unable to. Orton grabbed the loose rope and used it to pull Cena off the ladder, sending him head first through a table set up in the corner. Orton retrieved the belts, unifying the titles and becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.<ref name="TLC2013"/>
==Aftermath==
The next night on ''Raw'', The Authority celebrated Randy Orton's unification of the championships inside the ring, with the entire WWE locker room standing on the entrance ramp. John Cena proclaimed that since Orton won, his first title defense should be against Daniel Bryan, insisting that was the right thing to do. Orton refused, but The Authority said that Orton would, in fact, face Bryan in a non-title match later that night. Bryan went on to win that match via disqualification, which was caused by a blatant low-blow from Orton - right in front of the referee. Orton then continued to attack Bryan until Cena came out to aid Bryan. Orton scattered, but when Cena went to check on Bryan's condition, Orton reemerged, striking Cena with an RKO. The show ended with Orton standing triumphantly over his fallen foes with both titles raised overhead.<ref name="Raw12162013">{{cite news |last1=Nemer |first1=Paul |title=WWE RAW Results – 12/16/13 (Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan) |url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/45594-wwe-raw-results-12-16-13-randy-orton-vs-daniel-bryan/ |access-date=December 5, 2022 |work=WrestleView |date=December 16, 2013}}</ref> On the December 30 episode of ''Raw'', Stephanie McMahon announced that Cena would get his rematch against Orton at the [[Royal Rumble (2014)|Royal Rumble]] with no outside interference or added stipulations,<ref name="Raw12302013">{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/45816-wwe-raw-results-12-30-13-brock-lesnar-returns/|title=WWE RAW Results – 12/30/13 (Brock Lesnar returns)|first=Paul|last=Nemer|work=WrestleView|date=December 31, 2013|access-date=August 24, 2016}}</ref> which Orton won.<ref name="RR2014">{{cite web|last=Martin|first=Adam|title=WWE Royal Rumble PPV results 1/26/14 - (30 man Rumble)|date=January 27, 2014|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-news/46382-wwe-royal-rumble-ppv-results-1-26-14-30-man-royal-rumble/|work=WrestleView|access-date=February 1, 2014}}</ref>
