The 2014 TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (advertised as TLC: Tables, Ladders, Chairs... and Stairs) was the sixth annual TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It took place on December 14, 2014, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and was the first TLC event to livestream on the WWE Network, which launched in February. It was the only event in the series to have the "stairs" annotation added to the title.
Eight matches took place at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. The main event saw Bray Wyatt defeat Dean Ambrose in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. In other prominent matches, John Cena defeated Seth Rollins in a tables match to retain his #1 contendership for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, Ryback defeated Kane in a chairs match, Big Show defeated Erick Rowan in the first-ever steel stairs match, and in the opening bout, Dolph Ziggler defeated Luke Harper in a ladder match to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The pay-per-view also saw the return of Roman Reigns. In addition, it was also the first TLC pay-per-view not to feature a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. It received 39,000 PPV buys (not including WWE Network viewers), which is the lowest since the introduction of the WWE Network earlier in the year, dramatically down from the previous year's 181,000 buys.
