– The WWE TLC “go-home” edition of WWE SmackDown for this week, which was taped in Columbus, Georgia, featured an opening segment in the ring with tables, ladders and chairs to promote this Sunday’s pay-per-view event.
– The Usos def. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro in tag-team action for the first actual match of the taping. After Kidd and Cesaro made their entrance, a vignette for The Ascension aired.

– Nikki Bella def. Alicia Fox in Divas action.
– Jack Swagger def. Titus O’Neil via submission after getting him in the Patriot Lock. O’Neil seemed to be hurt after the match, but could have just been selling the loss.
– Big E. def. Goldust in singles action.
– John Cena came out to a big pop. He spoke about this Sunday’s WWE TLC pay-per-view until his opponent for this Sunday — Seth Rollins — interfered. The two argued back and forth about their match this Sunday night.
– Ryback, Dolph Ziggler & Erick Rowan def. Kane, Luke Harper & Big Show in a six-man tag-team match. This was the main event of this week’s SmackDown taping. The finish saw Ryback hit Harper with the Shellshock for the 1-2-3. After the match, Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan used the tables, ladders and chairs that were around ringside as props to promote this Sunday’s PPV as weapons, beating up Kane, Harper and Show with them. They left them laying to end the taping.
