The main event of the 2012 edition of TLC was a one-on-one Money in the Bank ladder match, with John Cena challenging Dolph Ziggler for the contract that he had won fair-and-square.
They had a back-and-forth match that everybody was sure John Cena would win, thanks to AJ Lee, who had spent the year messing with Cena, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk before eventually choosing to back Cena, Ziggler took down the briefcase and was declared the winner.

Lee, who appeared to be skipping around the ring to celebrate Cena’s victory, instead pushed over the ladder, allowing Ziggler to nail a superkick to put Cena out. He would climb the ladder and retain his briefcase.
This spelt the end of the Vickie Guerrero-Dolph Ziggler partnership and led to Big E becoming Ziggler’s bodyguard, so there are some memorable events that came from the conclusion of this contest as well.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
