-We recap MizTV on "Tribute to the Troops" with Kermit and Miss Piggy. Miz pressures Kermit to admit his feeling to Miss Piggy, Piggy and Miz grill Kermit to marry her, Sandow "saves" us from any more of this "porcine provocateur", and Miz defends Piggy's honor by laying out Sandow. Yes, that all happened, and it was HILARIOUS!

-Later tonight, Alberto Del Rio...John Cena...Miracle on 34th Street Fight!

~Commercial Break~

-We're back with "Mr. Harvard" himself David Otunga in the ring. He feels only he is qualified to pass judgment on the Santa Claus-Del Rio situation. He feels Del Rio is the victim, and Santa is a "jolly geriatric." Zack Ryder out now to stop all that noise with a "WOO WOO WOO!"

Winner: Zack Ryder

-Booker and Teddy laugh at Otunga's loss from Booker's office. Brad Maddox in to suck up to Booker, who says he already gave Maddox a shot, but is in the "Xmas mood" and gives him a chance by having him face one of Santa's "elves" tonight...your guess is as good as mine on that one.

~Commercial Break~

-We AGAIN recap the Del Rio-Claus "incident" and once again, no ACTUAL update from Matt Striker. I know it's the X-Mas special, but is this really the storyline they're going with tonight? Really? REALLY?

-Brad Maddox out, we better not pout, better not cry, because Brad Maddox is comin' to RAW! If he wins his match, that is, which is NEXT!

~Commercial Break~

Brad Maddox v. Great Khali

Oh yeah, DEFINITELY didn't see that one coming. Maddox is understandably upset, and slaps Khali. "YOU'RE NOT AN ELF!" Smart kid, that Maddox. Khali with a pair of stinging chest chops, then one that sends him out. Swoggle with a senton, but Maddox shrugs him off. He hangs up Khali and goes after the giant's leg. Khali swats him off with a chop, but Maddox with the dropkick to the knee. Maddox poses, but Khali kicks him off. Maddox up top, but Khali chops him, then some clotheslines, and a Punjabi Plunge sends Maddox packing.

-THE CHAMP IS HERE...and so is Heyman, as he and Punk are apparently on their way to the ring.

-The WWE Champion CM Punk blesses us with his presence, crutches and all, as he and Heyman make their way to the ring. Punk clocks in at 400 days in the longest modern-day reign in history as WWE Champion.

-Punk mocks Khali's singing. In all seriousness, X-Mas has been ruined...Steelers chant abound, and Punk says even he, a Cubs fan, isn't stupid enough to cheer for a bunch of losers...but anyway, Punk laments how he is... (Continues on next page)
