Raw
Match 1. Sin Cara vs. Eddie Guerrero

Match 2. Dolph Ziggler vs. Antonio Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose   #1 Contender's Match
Holy crap, what a match. The match went almost 38 minutes! Insane. Obviously, there were a lot of finishers and long two counts. Here are the last few minutes. Ziggler dodged a running knee from Ambrose. Ziggler caught Cesaro with the Zig Zag. Ziggler and Ambrose hit Cesaro with a leg sweep/STo combo. Cesaro countered a double suplex into a double DDT and pinned Ziggler to win.

Bryan landed a flying forearm and missed a dropkick, but locked in the Yes Lock. Flair escaped, but Bryan immediately locked in a sleeper hold. Flair focused on the legs with Boston crabs and single-leg locks. Bryan took Flair down with a snapmare and won with a rear naked choke.

Main Event. Shawn Michaels vs. Kane Lesnar
Kane's music hit, but didn't appear. Lesnar threw Kane out from the back and walked down the ramp. Lesnar hit Michaels with powerful punches.

After the match, Lesnar continued to stomp on Michaels.

Big E's first match is against the Bad Guy. Langston landed an elbow drop to the back. Razor came back with a huge fall away slam. He then lifted the big man up and landed the Razor's Edge. Langston kicked out and hit a shoulder tackle and the Big Ending to win. 

Match 3. Jack Swagger vs. Rey Mysterio

Angle and Henry worked well together, executed great tag team moves. Taker lifted Henry up for the Tombstone. On the outside, Henry hit the World Strongest Slam. Angle caught Triple H with a couple of near falls. Triple H hit Henry with a spine buster and got the win.

After the match, Goldberg and Del Rio attacked Triple H and Taker.

Bret landed a belly-to-belly side slam and a spike piledriver. Punk came back a bloody mess and hit the GTS. Bret slammed Punk on his neck with a German suplex. He continued with a tilt-a-whirl back breaker and another piledriver. Bret locked in the Sharpshooter, but Punk escaped. Bret then locked in a camel clutch and won.

SmackDown
Match 1. Ricky Steamboat vs. Mr. Perfect
This can definitely be the match of the week. There was a pin battle early on. Steamboat lifted Hennig up with a two-handed choke. He missed the cross body, but hit the Electric Chair Drop. Perfect landed two consecutive snap mares. After a near fall, Hennig landed the Perfect-plex and won.

Match 2. The Usos vs. Slater and Mahal

Match 3. Cody Rhodes, RVD and Goldust vs. The Wyatt Family
Here is the rematch. Let's hope we get a finish. Harper took RVD down with a headlock take down and then hit a huge big boot. RVD and Goldust hit Harper with a drop toe hold/falling elbow drop. Cody landed Cross Rhodes on Rowan. Rowan kicked out and Harper connected with the running lariat to RVD. RVD then ducked another clothesline and won with a roll up.

Match 4. John Cena vs. Ryback

Main Event. Booker T vs. The Rock
Rock dodged a couple of Booker's attack, but was taken down by an arm drag. Booker then hit a DDT and a kick to the face. After a pin, Booker hit the Book End and won.

Recap: The TLC event should be good. The 6-man tag match on SmackDown was good, not as good as last week. Big E is someone to keep an eye on.
