Twas the night before Tables, Ladders and Chairs in San Jose, California.
The 'Rabobank Arena' in Bakersfield, California played host to last night's WWE Live Event. This was the last WWE RAW house show before tonight's TLC pay-per-view at the 'SAP Center' in San Jose. The Bakersfield match card was a spinoff of Friday's Nashville house show with the same matches and match order but in the main event Seth Rollins escaped with his Intercontinental Championship via DQ and did not pick up a pin fall victory over Dean Ambrose like he has been doing over the past few weeks at live events.
