The injury to CM Punk leaves Ryback with the short end of the stick as his chance to capture the WWE title vanished as soon as Punk was announced as unable to participate in the pay-per-view.

Ryback will be on the card however and in a letter posted by Vince McMahon on WWE.COM, the Las Vegas native will join the current tag team champions Kane and Daniel Bryan to take on The Shield in a TLC match.

The TLC match will be different though as while tables, ladders, and chairs, will be available for use, the only way to win this match will be via pinfall or submission.
