The following is from our live coverage of WWE TLC. To access our full coverage, click here.

Backstage:

Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodreiguez are backstage. Del Rio is mad at Ricardo because apparently he couldn't get a car for tonight. Del Rio sends Ricardo away and turns right around into the Miz. Miz says they worked together for the greater good, but not tonight. Del Rio says he knows, and he was just using the Miz. Miz asks 'Really?', and says that's funny because Del Rio's title reign was as uneventful as the Raven's superbowl run. Miz says he beat Cena at WrestleMania, and Del Rio lost to Edge, who's neck was hanging on by a thread. Del Rio says Miz is a guy who thinks he's bad, but he's not. He says Miz is pathetic. The men are interrupted by Ricardo, who comes in with a plate of food. Miz shoves the food in Ricardo's face, and Del Rio shoves him to the ground to end the segment.

- Cole reminds us today that the last combat troops left Iraq. This leads us to a special taped message from some of the armed forces, thanking the WWE for the time. Classy move.

- Booker T makes his way out to the ring, and it looks like we're going to get the Booker/Rhodes match. Cody attacks Booker from behind and lays into him with repeated kicks while Booker's laid against the barricade. Cody's pulled away, and referees check on Booker. Booker looks confused, but he's led to the back by the doctor who says he needs to check on him before he can compete.

- We get a video package of the events between Kevin Nash, from his return, to his attack on Triple H a couple of months ago, that have led up to this match between the two men tonight.
