By Richard Trionfo on 2017-12-25 23:05:00

We take a look at what happened last week to Dean Ambrose at the hands of Samoa Joe, Cesaro, and Sheamus.

Renee Young is in the interview area with Samoa Joe.  Renee asks Joe if he has any remorse for what he did to Dean Ambrose.

Joe says he has no remorse.  Now Dean can be home with the ones he loves the most for the holidays.  That also gave him an Intercontinental Title Match.  He has taken care of the Shield.  Joe says Roman thinks he will have visions of sugar plum fairies in his head but instead, he will see nightmares of Joe's hand being raised as the new Intercontinental Champion.

Kane walks in the back.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a video package setting up the announcement of the Triple Threat Match for the Royal Rumble.

Heath Slater says he did not get any gifts for his kids because of what Kurt Angle said.  Rhyno says he is trying to toughen up Slater.

Kane sends Slater into the corner and connects with knees and punches.  Kane with an Irish whip and clothesline followed by a side slam.  Slater gets to the floor and Rhyno tells Slater he has it and to show him and his kids how tough he is.  Slater returns to the ring and Kane grabs Slater by the throat and pushes him over the top rope to the floor.  Rhyno tries to motivate Slater but Slater has had enough.  Rhyno reminds Slater that he has kids.  Kane grabs Slater by the hair but Slater drops Kane on the top rope.

We are back and Curt Hawkins is in the ring.  

Curt says normally he is out here telling everyone to face the facts, but tonight is a little different.  Tonight, he has to tell himself to face the facts.  He will be the first to admit that 2017 has not been too kind to his win loss record.  But, the year isn't over and he feels a Christmas miracle in the air.  Curt has an open challenge for whoever wants to come down that chimney and into his living room for two lumps of coal.  After that, his 146 match losing streak comes to an end.

We are back and Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas see Goldust and Curtis says he knows Goldust asked for a Mizmas carol.  They sing for Goldust and give him a DVD of Santa's Little Helper.

Goldust sees Titus O'Neil, Dana Brooke, and Apollo Crews and he gives Apollo the DVD.

Bray Wyatt appears and he says that she hated this time of year and she hated the people who promulgated the pagan rituals.  It reminded her of someone like Matt Hardy.  Your words only perpetuate the sickness.  You give them something they can believe in.  You are using them for your own personal gain.  Look around Woken Warrior.  You are surrounded by the darkness and his fireflies.  You are surrounded by her.  Chicago . . . he's here.

Matt Hardy attacks Bray Wyatt as he blows out his lantern.  Matt with punches and he tries for the Twist of Fate but Bray escapes and goes to the floor.

Matt gestures that Bray needs to be Deleted.

Matt takes the mic and he makes a lot of noises.

We go to Sheamus and Cesaro in the locker room.  Cesaro says that Kurt should be more grateful for what they did.  Sheamus says he is grateful for Cesaro and he has a gift for Cesaro.  Cesaro opens the gift and it is a Dean Ambrose action figure with the missing arm.  Cesaro has a gift for Sheamus.  Sheamus opens the present and it is a Seth Rollins action figure.  Sheamus is looking forward to breaking it the way he will break Seth later tonight.  There is also a Jason Jordan action figure.  Sheamus doesn't want it and Cesaro says that Seth doesn't want him as a tag team partner and Kurt does not want him as a son.

The ring is being set up for the Miracle on 34th Streetfight featuring the cruiserweights.

Enzo Amore comes out dressed like Santa Claus and he is joined by his elves Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari.

Enzo says he has his trusty elves and they are here to spread Christmas joy to the people having a terrible Christmas.  Cedric you did not get what you wanted, his cruiserweight title.  They will give you a very merry beatdown.  Not even a miracle on 34th street fight can save you tonight.
