WWE Raw December 24, 2012 (Christmas Edition)

The show starts with an animated CM Punk struggling to turn on the lights of a Christmas tree, then Cena leading a WWE-themed carol, to the tune of Jingle Bells. This is some corny shit, but I kinda love it. Then animated Cena clobbers Punk to turn on the Christmas lights.

Now we go live to the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA for the Christmas Edition of Raw. Cole welcomes us to the show before Justin Roberts introduces the night's special guest, Kris Kringle himself, I assume played by Foley, who gets his own entrance and everything. He starts throwing gifts out in the aisle to the fans before walking beside the stage area. 

Alberto Del Rio's music hits and out comes Ricardo, and suddenly Del Rio runs over Santa, knocking over a Christmas tree in the process. Del Rio takes forever to get out of the car and actually check on Santa, and finally officials run out to check on him and there's a stretcher. Ricardo looks to be on the verge of crying and Del Rio's upset over it. There's a "You killed Santa" chant. Then we get a replay. Santa eventually gives the thumbs up as he's carted out. 

Commercial

We come back and the side of the stage has been turned into a crime scene. Another replay of Santa getting run over.

Cut backstage to several wrestlers and Teddy Long standing outside the trainer's room, and out steps Booker T. He says Santa's down, and it doesn't look good, but they need to pull together and the show must go on, Santa would want it that way. Del Rio arrives and they want his head, and Cena appears out of nowhere. Del Rio tries to defend himself but it just riles them up more. Apparently though Santa's last words before losing consciousness was to make a match for tonight, pitting Del Rio vs Cena in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. Del Rio leaves, and Booker tells Cena to do it for Santa as does everyone else. 

Cody Rhodes vs Kane (WWE Tag Team Champion)

Pre-Match: So this all goes back to a month prior on an episode of Main Event, where Rhodes and Sandow took on Team Hell No. Cody nearly landed on his neck on a back body drop delivered by Kane, but it caused a torn trap, delt, and a separated shoulder in the process. So I guess this is his return to TV.

Cody with a pair of rights before coming off the ropes, only to be caught with a military press. Cody hip tossed from one corner to the other, then to the middle rope, caught and slammed spine first in the corner. Kane with boots and rights, then Cody sent off the ropes, catching Kane with a dropkick to the knee, going after it with more kicks. Then he goes for the arm with an arm lock, then Cody is pushed over the ropes to the floor. Kane gets hung up on the rope rope, then his shoulder is pulled into the middle turnbuckle. Cody caught with a right as he attempts an arm wringer, but catches Kane with a missile dropkick from the middle rope, cover for one.

Cody removes the top turnbuckle before taking it to Kane in the opposite corner. Kane's arm twisted around the top rope before delivering more boots and rights in the corner. Kane fights back, then Cody is sent off the ropes, catches Kane with a kick and twists his arm around the middle rope now. More shots by Cody, then a vicious one by Kane. Armbar take down by Cody, then a short-arm scissor. Kane gets him by the throat and goes for the chokeslam, Cody escapes but eats a big boot. Cody sent to the corner for a clothesline, then across the ring for another, followed by a sidewalk slam, covers for a near fall.

Kane goes up top and connects with the clothesline. Kane goes for the chokeslam again but Cody fights out, off the ropes, connects with the Disaster Kick to the bad arm. Cody starts to remove another turnbuckle, then doesn't, then tries to send Kane into the earlier one only to be countered, and gets sent into it instead. Kane with the chokeslam for the win in 5:55. It was an OK match. Not sure what happened at the end there.

Replay of the finish.

Eve gets her with a knee, then Kaitlyn with a gutbuster for the win in 5:29. Again, not a bad match, hell it was even given time. The crowd clearly didn't care though, and there were obvious crowd noise piped in, I swear there were 5 times in the match where you hear the same "Ohhhhhhhh!" sound from the crowd.

Also still to come, it's a Lumber-Jack Frost Match between Sheamus and Big Show, and up next, an update on Santa.

Commercial

A plug for the WWE Encyclopedia.

Cut somewhere backstage where the camera pans over a Christmas tree and presents, then over to Ziggler and AJ Lee sat on the floor. She thanks him for watching her favorite Christmas movie with her, and we're not told which one it is, but he figured her for more of a Christmas Carol kind of girl. She explains that she likes it because it's about not living in the past, or worrying about the future, not worrying about the consequences. Camera pans over to the TV, and it turns out to be Ziggler's ladder match with Cena at TLC, where AJ helped Ziggler retain his Money in the Bank briefcase turning on Cena. Ziggler says all they need is a little TLC this holiday season, and she says the best part is Cena never saw it coming, and the most wonderful time of the year. OK that was kind of adorable.

Back to commentary to talk about what happened to Santa, and we see the crime scene and yet another replay. We're also told that representatives from the North Pole have been called and informed of what's happened. We go to Matt Striker who's outside the trainer's room, and all we can see is a heart rate monitor through the crack in the door. There's no official word yet on his condition.

The lumberjacks make their way out, that match next.

Show with his loud chops in the corner, then Sheamus sent across the ring, Show misses an elbow in the corner, gets hung up on the top rope as Sheamus goes to the apron, and delivers his 10 Beats of the Bodhran (thankfully he tweeted out some time ago how that's spelled, I never would have figured it out). Then Sheamus up top with a flying shoulder tackle. Sheamus already sets up for the Brogue Kick but Sheamus avoids it and rolls out. Lumberjacks are too scared to even touch him.

Commerial

Sheamus is backed into the corner until he starts to fight back, then off the ropes only to be caught with a shoulder block. During the break, Sheamus was tossed out and he quickly laid out any lumberjacks who tried to touch him. Show with a top wristlock. Show starts singing Rudolph as he's doing this until Sheamus twists his nose. Sheamus tries a scoop slam but Show falls on top to cover for two. Sheamus is tossed back out and 3MB start to attack.

Show goes for the KO Punch but Sheamus ducks and connects with the Brogue Kick for the win in 13:02. This one went a little too long, not a whole lot happened in the middle, beginning and end were alright. Lumberjacks were pretty useless though.

Lumberjacks jump in and either go at it with each other or go after Sheamus. Babyfaces stand tall.

We see some highlights from Tribute to the Troops, an episode of MizTV with Kermit the Frog. There's an exposure joke, then a "Don't ask don't tell" joke. Then Ms. Piggy joins in. Miz pushes them into having a marriage until Sandow comes out, and calls the show an outrage. Ms. Piggy's about to deck him  until Miz does it for her. 

Still to come, the Street Fight.

Commercial

David Otunga's in the ring with a mic, the only Harvard-educated lawyer in WWE history, which he says makes him uniquely qualified to comment on the Santa situation. He says everyone's being prejudiced for pointing fingers before hearing all the facts, and claims that there's a strong case towards Del Rio being the victim, as he was just fulfilling his contractual obligations as a WWE superstar. That jolly geriatric Santa is meanwhile guilty of trespassing, working without a permit, vehicular vandalism. Zack Ryder interrupts before this goes any further, who uses more than enough words to say they have a match right now.

Zack Ryder vs David Otunga

Replay of the finish.

Cut to Booker and Teddy backstage, and they relish in Otunga losing. Then in walks Brad Maddox from behind who tries to be all buddy-buddy with them. Booker wanted to see him, he thinks he's being offered a contract, even though he lost his chance the week before against Brodus. In the spirit of Christmas though he's giving Brad one more chance, and Brad assures him it will be great television. Booker says he just has to beat one of Santa's elves. Maddox leaves skeptical.

First though it's back to AJ and Ziggler. She's gifted him his dented briefcase, symbolic of helping him retain it against Cena. He goes to kiss her but she has one more present, opening her robe, just to reveal a Ziggler shirt. He calls it the sexiest thing he's ever seen.

Yet another replay of Santa getting run over and being stretchered to the back. Back to Striker outside the trainer's room, the heart rate monitor still beeping. No updates.

Out comes Brad Maddox with a mic to sing Brad Maddox is Coming to Raw. His match next.

Punk is walking on crutches backstage with Heyman at his side, they're up next.

Commercial

Out come Punk and Heyman, currently the WWE Champion. Punk is set to defend against Ryback on the first Raw of 2013 in Tampa. Punk gets a mic. Punk mocks Khali and takes a shot at Pittsburgh in the process, Onto serious business now, he says Christmas is ruined, and there's a Steelers chant, and Punk says he's not even dumb enough to cheer for a bunch of losers like the Cubs, much like the loser Steelers. Back to his point, he says it's not his fault and he's not talking about Santa, he means that their WWE Champion and undisputed Best in the World is injured to the point where he can't compete on this show. He suggest they boo for the man responsible, Ryback, who tore his knee to the point he needed emergency surgery and he can't walk without crutches. Ryback has also ruined Hanukah for all the little mutants, and instead of firing or suspending him, or fine him an obscene amount of money, he gets rewarded with a WWE Title match. He continues to deny that he was in cahoots with Maddox at Hell in a Cell, or the Shield at Survivor Series and it hasn't been proven, because there is no proof. Punk is in a bad mood with rehab and he sees that the fans' holidays are filled with their slovenly, toothless, drunken selves crawling from bar to bar, to possibly find someone who's either as drunk or dumb enough, or blind to be able to kiss their disgusting lips come midnight on New Year's Eve.

Heyman takes the mic and takes offense to the fans booing Punk, says he's been their reigning, defending, WWE Champion for 400 consecutive days now and for each one of those days he's been the victim of a documented conspiracy in WWE to take the title away from him. He uses Ryback as proof, he's been given two chances to take the title away and both times Ryback failed. Punk takes the mic back and talks to Ryback, says he was better than him on two legs, one leg, on crutches, and even with an amputated leg, one arm, one eye he's still better than Ryback.

Speaking of Ryback, out he comes. Punk keeps him at bay with a crutch while Heyman takes the mic and says if Ryback lays a finger on Punk they'll sue him for assault. Ryback has his own mic and says he doesn't have to because he's already gotten his Christmas present. He says Punk should be physically able in two weeks, and he announces that their match will now be a TLC Match, like it was originally supposed to be. Ryback gets a TLC chant going and his music hits as Heyman and Punk leave. I forgot how great Punk was on the mic.

Still to come, the Street Fight.

Replay of the finishing sequence.

Still to come, the Street Fight. Up next, another update on Santa.

Commercial

First though, we catch up with Kane and Bryan, and Bryan could not be more excited to open presents the next day. Kane hates Christmas, but since it means a lot to Bryan he did get him a present, it's a Slammy. Bryan is happy and got Kane something too, a puppy. Kane is excited so he can eat it and it gets a no chant going, before Bryan takes it back and leaves. 

Back to AJ and Ziggler, and AJ is reading her version of the Night Before Christmas, about how she screwed Cena, threw in a fat joke at Vickie, and Ziggler was better than any of her exes. Then they get under a mistletoe and make out, falling into the Christmas tree behind them.

Back to Striker who informs us Santa's taken a turn for the worse and is being prepped to be taken to a medical facility. Then his heart rate monitor starts to play Jingle Bells and his feet start moving.

Cena makes his way out for the main event, next.

Miracle on 34th Street Fight: John Cena vs Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez)

Pre-Match: Ricardo comes out to announce Del Rio but he's in tears and can barely get his name out.

They argue and Cena points fingers then lays into Alberto. Mounted rights in the corner by Cena, then tosses Alberto out to the floor. Cena is whipped shoulder first into the ring steps and Del Rio kicks him in the back a few times. Back in the ring, cover by Del Rio for two. Del Rio calls on Ricardo to get him a mic and screams it was an accident before nailing Cena in the head with the mic a few times. Then he says something in Spanish and Cena blocks another mic shot, screams Santa into the mic and nails Del Rio with it. 

Cena finds a gift at ringside and finds a chair inside, nailing Del Rio in the ribs, then the back, covers, then Ricardo pulls the ref out. Cena chases Ricardo around and back in the ring, running right into a clothesline from Del Rio, stomping away at Cena. Ricardo hands Del Rio a gift and finds a pie, ends up nailing Ricardo by accident as Cena ducks. Del Rio sent into the corner and Cena hits the running bulldog before tossing Del Rio out to the floor. Del Rio into the guard rail in the aisle as they make their way up the ramp. Cena opens up another gift and finds a television monitor, nailing Del Rio right in the head with it. 

Commercial

Del Rio has since taken control and Ricardo has joined him and Cena on the stage. Del Rio opens another gift an we see that Ricardo provided a distraction during the break, Ricardo nailing a kick to the back to take control. In the gift he finds a teddy bear. Cena looks on dumbfounded as Del Rio throws it at him. Cena throws him into the LED board, then traps Ricardo in a wreath and smashes a gift over his head. Del Rio takes control with kicks and a box shot as they fight their way back to the ring. He goes face first off the apron, then sent into the barricade. Cena goes back to the stage to open a gift, but there's a "use a tree" chant so he grabs the small one there and nails Del Rio in the head with it. Cena goes back to the gifts and finds a bowling ball inside. Cena rolls it down the ramp and it nails Del Rio right in the balls as he sits up. 

Cena finds another gift at ringside and finds a fire extinguisher, spraying it in Del Rio's face as they return to the ring. Ricardo returns and jumps on Cena's back, applies a sleeper and Cena passes out. Now out comes Santa with a bag of toys. Ricardo is overjoyed but he gets nailed in the head with the bag. Santa pulls out a Santa Socko and gives the mandible claw to Del Rio, sending him back into an AA for the win in 11:18. I didn't think I'd enjoy that nearly as much as I did. 

Replay of the abuse Del Rio and Ricardo took during the match in the closing moments. Santa joins in the celebration to end the show.

FINAL THOUGHTS

OK this show wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. The whole thing about Santa getting run over was dumb, but there were good matches for the most part, given enough time, and Punk cut a great promo. And as goofy as the main event was, I kind of enjoyed it.
