WWE Champion C.M. Punk will not work the main event of the TLC pay-per-view after undergoing knee surgery on Tuesday. It was announced at the Smackdown taping that Ryback will team with Daniel Bryan and Kane to face The Shield in a six-man tag match, according to Wrestlinginc.com Ryback had been scheduled to challenge Punk for the WWE Championship in a TLC match.
