TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs (2014) (advertised as ''Tables, Ladders, Chairs ... and Stairs'') was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It took place on December 14, 2014 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. It was the sixth annual TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs event. This was the first pay-per-view event, and the only one to date, since the 2013 SummerSlam, where The Authority was not in power. Eight matches were scheduled on the events card and one match took place on the pre-show. The main event saw Bray Wyatt defeat Dean Ambrose in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. The pay-per-view also saw the return of Roman Reigns. It achieved 39,000 PPV buys, the lowest since the introduction of the WWE Network earlier in the year, dramatically down from the previous year's 181,000 buys. ==Background== TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that played out on WWE's primary television programs, ''Raw'' and ''SmackDown''. Wrestlers portrayed heroes or villains as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. At Survivor Series, Bray Wyatt defeated Dean Ambrose by disqualification when Ambrose hit Wyatt with a chair. After the match, Ambrose drove Wyatt through a table, threw chairs on him and stood on top of a ladder. Shortly afterwards, it was announced that Ambrose would face Wyatt in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at TLC. On the November 24 edition of ''Raw'', Daniel Bryan returned as a special guest manager and put former Director of Operations Kane in charge of food concessions. Ryback attacked Kane after Kane threw a hot dog at Ryback. On the November 28 edition of ''Smackdown'', Kane attacked Ryback during his match with Seth Rollins and attacked Ryback with a chair after the match. Later in the night, Bryan (who was also the guest manager that night) announced that Ryback would face Kane in a Chairs match at TLC. On the December 1 edition of ''Raw'', Seth Rollins attempted to persuade John Cena to bring the The Authority back into power, but they were interrupted by the Anonymous Raw General Manager, who announced that Cena and Rollins would face off in a Tables match at TLC and added that if Cena loses, he will no longer be the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
