TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2009)

The 2009 TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs was the inaugural TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brand divisions. The event took place on December 13, 2009, at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. It replaced WWE's previously annual December PPV, Armageddon. It was the only TLC event to feature the ECW brand, as it was disbanded in February 2010.

The concept of the show was based around the primary matches of the card each utilizing tables, ladders, and chairs as legal weapons. 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 Chairs match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship and the main event, where D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) defeated Chris Jericho and 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. The pay-per-view drew 228,000 buys.
