Go Ziggler! Wold be interesting if someone Dolph's briefcase is on the line.

Punk vs Ryback in a tables match kinda upsets me. I'm already flashing back to Sheamus vs Cena in their tables match. I think the WWE sees this as another way for Ryback to lose without looking weak. I'm going to go ahead and predict that Ambrose and company interfere and put Ryback through the table.

Tables match would be potential for a major disaster. I'm reminded of the ending of the TLC match between John Cena and Sheamus. Anything goes wrong and CM Punk loses the title. I really hope they rethink that.

So Ryback and Punk in a tables match. Anyone else see the same thing happening that happened to John Cena during the Nexus angle when he went through a table by slipping of the ropes and became the nexus *****! Ryback will fall and go through a table to lose. Good Luck with that WWE!

CM Punk Vs Ryback – another match for Ryback to get beat? So Ryback has gone from having an unbeaten streak, to a losing streak? These have got to be getting changed again surely? Wouldn't it be better they did Punk V Cena and Ryback V Ziggler?

What are the rules of a chair match?!?!
- Loren_G
  
  It's legal to beat your opponent with a chair. Stiff have to win by pinfall or submission though. Not as "exciting" as a tables, ladder, or TLC match though.

  First one to get the chair when the music stops

So if we see a tables match between Punk/Ryback(I agree this is a mistake), a chair match between Show/Sheamus, and a TLC match between Cena/Ziggler, will we get a ladder match? I could see Team Hell No(btw, hate that name) and Mysterio/Cara in a ladder match being good.

  They’ll likely add the prime time players to that tag ladder match

    I’m hoping that triple threat happens that would be awesome.

      A triple threat tag team title ladder match could easily steal the show IMO

If they were to switch the Punk/Ryback and Cena/Ziggler stipulations, it would be a much better setup. The TLC match should be used for one of the championships, while the other championship should be in a Ladder match. It just seems a waste if there is nothing on the line in the Cena/Ziggler match.
