RALEIGH, N.C. – As Superstars prepare to smash each other using tables, ladders and chairs at WWE TLC on Sunday, they made final efforts to gain valuable momentum for the brutal pay-per-view. Taking the brunt of World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry’s wrath was a hapless WWE cameraman, who was brutally smashed with a steel chair.

Although they are not competing for a championship at WWE TLC, it’s clear that
Randy Orton and Wade Barrett are both eager for a victory on the pay-per-view
stage. After a back-and-forth tag team battle, it was The Viper who garnered
the win for his team by dropping United States Champion Dolph Ziggler with a
stinging RKO. As the ref delivered the three-count, Orton locked eyes with
Barrett, who slowly backed away from the ring. (WWE TLC TABLES MATCH

Sheamus def. Jinder
Mahal (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Despite the ruthlessness Jinder Mahal displayed against Ted DiBiase, Mahal could
not stop the hard-charging Great White Sheamus, who downed Mahal with a
stunning Brogue Kick.

Heath Slater (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Ted DiBiase had Health Slater singing the blues when he planted him into the
canvas for the win. But before the DiBiase Posse Party hero could celebrate,
Jinder Mahal charged to the ring and locked him in a Camel Clutch. Taking
charge of the situation, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long emerged and
declared that Mahal would face Sheamus.
Mark Henry attacked a
WWE cameraman and Jack Swagger (WATCH)
Full of rage, The World’s Strongest Man took out his fury on Swagger by
blasting him from behind with a steel chair. Not done yet, Henry demolished an unsuspecting
WWE cameraman with a vicious shot from behind with a steel chair. The ugly
display was eerily reminiscent of when Henry attacked a WWE audio technician
earlier this year (FULL STORY).
Big Show def. Jack
Swagger (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Despite being able to lock the massive Big Show in his painful ankle lock, Jack
Swagger could not stop The World’s Largest Athlete. With his devastating WMD,
Show dropped the former World Heavyweight Champion for the win. Afterward, Show
grabbed Swagger by the neck and tossed him from the ring.
Primo & Epico
def. The Usos (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Despite an impressive effort from both teams, it was Primo & Epico who
prevailed when Primo capitalized on a distraction from Rosa to pin Jey Uso.
Alicia Fox def.
Natalya (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Using her superb athleticism, Alicia Fox managed to roll-up Natalya for a
commanding win. In the process, Fox ripped out one of Natalya’s blonde hair extensions.
After the bout, Fox added insult to injury by attacking the distraught Diva. “You’re
so synthetic, it’s pathetic,” Fox declared.
Intercontinental
Champion Cody Rhodes def. Daniel Bryan (WATCH | PHOTOS)
With Booker T banned from interfering in
Rhodes’ match – or their TLC match would be off – the champion got down to
business against Daniel Bryan. Looking good for Sunday, Rhodes took Bryan down
with Cross Rhodes for the victory.
Booker T vowed to win
the Intercontinental Championship (PHOTOS)
If there’s any doubt in Booker T’s mind if he’s ready for a return to the ring,
he’s certainly not showing it. The veteran Superstar vowed to give Intercontinental
Champion Cody Rhodes the beat down of his life and win the Intercontinental Championship at WWE TLC
(PREVIEW). And, "If I win the title, I will defend it," Booker said during commentary.
