Big Show vs. Erick Rowan in a Stairs Match Confirmed for “TLC”

With the “TLC” pay-per-view less than two weeks away, the card for the event has begun to shape up. On the Dec. 1 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” the presumed main event match was announced. At the event, John Cena will face Seth Rollins in a Tables match. If John Cena happens to lose to Rollins, Cena will lose his status as the number-one contender to Brock Lesnar’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Additionally, on the same showing of “Raw,” The Usos became the number-one contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championship. At “TLC,” the twins will look to reclaim the tag titles from The Miz and Damien Mizdow.

Now, coming out of the Dec. 1 “Monday Night Raw,” WWE has announced a fifth match for “TLC.” Big Show will face “Big Red” Erick Rowan in a Stairs match, according to a report from WWE.com. The two had a singles match on “Raw,” which Rowan won by disqualification, when Show attacked him with the steel steps. Later in the night, during the six-man main event match, Show ran interference. In turn, Rowan appeared with steel stairs in hand to combat Show.

Erick Rowan has begun a nice little singles career in WWE, largely due to Sheamus suffering an injury just prior to “Survivor Series.” On the final showing of “Raw” leading to “Survivor Series,” Rowan was shockingly made the fifth and final member of Team Cena.

What a stipulation.
