The show opened with Triple H and Stephanie backstage all decked out in Christmas gear talking about the Christmas spirit. Tonight will be a very RAW Christmas indeed.

Handicap Match
Test vs. The New Age Outlaws
Test made his way to the ring with a sort of brace on his broken nose which Triple H rebroke last week on Smackdown. Road Dogg did most of his usual spiel, and called the Texan crowd "blithering idiots" to an obviously heel response. Mr. Ass got a little overzealous and entered the ring quickly to start the match. Test quickly lost control as the Outlaws double teamed him. The Hardy Boyz and Edge/Christian were shown backstage watching on a monitor. Road Dogg jumped and landed a nice dropkick to the face of Test as Billy Gunn dragged him to the apron. After a few hard shots to the nasal area (heh), the Outlaws attempted a Double Suplex. They were promptly reversed into a Double DDT on both men. Test got up and nailed a Gut Rench Powerbomb on Mr. Ass, and went for a Pump Handle Slam on the Road Dogg. Before he could finish it however, Mr. Ass hit a Dropkick and Road Dogg landed on Test. They removed his protective nose covering and Billy Gunn hit the Fame-Asser for the win.
Winners: The New Age Outlaws

Backstage Triple H and Stephanie called in The Hardy Boyz and Edge/Christian to give them their match for the night. They decided on a Tag Match between a mixture of the teams. Edge/Matt vs. Jeff/Christian.

Backstage Triple H and Stephanie called in Kurt Angle. Stephanie was impressed by his Olympic Status, but HHH was less than thrilled. They gave him a match against Viscera for the night.

Edge and Matt Hardy vs. Christian and Jeff Hardy
All four men looked somewhat reluctant in the beginning, but Edge and Matt soon attacked their opponents. All four men brawled for some time until Edge was attacked by a springboarding Christian. Matt and Jeff both followed suit with similar high risk moves to the outside. Back in the ring, a pair of Falcon Arrows were dished out as The Hardy Boyz fought each other. Edge was tagged in, but couldn't get a 3 count on Jeff. Matt helped out his partner by choking his brother on the ropes. Edge lifted Jeff up in the air, but he turned it into a Dropkick. Edge was dropkicked off the toprope and Jeff Hardy hit the 450 Splash on his brother for the win. Matt was very slow to get up after the pin, and the crowd gave him a hand when he got to his feet.
Winners: Christian and Jeff Hardy

Backstage Triple H and Stephanie set up a Triple Threat Tag Team Match between The Dudley Boyz, The Acolytes, and Moolah and Mae Young!?

Triple H and Stephanie made their way down to the ring to give Jim Ross his "Christmas Present." They called him in to the ring, and claimed that they "come in peace." Stephanie said that it felt good to slap JR last time, but that "this" would feel better. She then pushed JR over Triple H who was on his knees. He then grabbed his arm and threatened to break it.

Mankind hit the ring to a HUGE pop, as he came out to save JR's arm. Whoever said HHH/Mankind at the Royal Rumble is a genius hehe ;) He got pissed at Triple H and got excited when he wanted a fight. Steph held HHH back from attacking, but gave him an idea. Triple H made a Boiler Room match tonight for Mankind, but wouldn't tell him who him opponent is. My money says Big Show. Stephanie slapped Mankind as the Helmsleys left the ring. I must say that Stephanie's mike work has gotten much better.

Kurt Angle vs. Viscera
Stephanie is not pleased at all with Triple H signing this match. Kurt attempted a Suplex but couldn't lift Viscera. He got it reversed into a Sitdown Bulldog. Viscera followed it up with a Throat Toss and a Samoan Drop. Kurt Angle came back with two dropkicks followed by a Missile Dropkick off the toprope. Steve Blackman made his way down the ramp to presumably attack Angle, but instead hit Viscera with the Kendo Stick. Angle finished Viscera with his Fallaway Fireman's Carry (lame finisher).
WInner: Kurt Angle

Backstage Stephanie seemed to take the credit for the Blackman runin and she seemed much happier than before. She even called Angle "cute." Triple H was less than thrilled.

Triple Threat Tag Match
The Dudley Boyz vs. The Acolytes vs. Moolah and Mae Young
The Dudley Boyz were quick to attack the old ladies with some of the weakest punches of all time. The Acolytes finally came out to a face pop and went to work on the Dudleys. The Ladies got back in the ring and Double Teamed Buh Buh, but he fought back. He threw Moolah to the outside, where Bradshaw helped her up. Buh Buh spread Mae's legs (I am not kidding) and D-Von did the Suicide Headbutt from the toprope. Oh dear Lord, that is just NAASTY and so very very wrong. They got the rollup and the pin, but I was too disgusted to care. Afterwards, Mark Henry ran down the aisle to embrace Mae.
Winners: The Dudley Boyz

Backstage Triple H revealed Mankind's mystery opponent. Santa Claus.

Mankind was then giving an interview when the Mean Street Posse attacked him and threw him in the Boiler Room. He then said "Did I just get my ass kicked by The Mean Street Posse?" which I laughed at quite alot. He then saw Santa and told him that when he turned his back, Santa could leave and win the match. He did, but Mankind was attacked by 3 more Santas which he easily decimated with a few Trashcan shots. I thought it was Kaientai for a second haha. As he walked towards the door, two more Santas attacked which turned out to be the New Age Outlaws. They put him through a table onto the concrete floor. He fought back, and went after them with a Sheet of Glass. At the last second, another Santa (Triple H) attacked sending the glass over Mankind's head. Foley can't take a decent bump anymore my ass, he just took more than I've seen anyone else do in months. Triple H walked out the door to win the match.

Backstage Al Snow walked into Triple H and Stephanie's office and demanded a Brahma Bull Rope Match against The Rock tonight. Triple H was annoyed that he demanded it, but granted his wish.

Intercontinental Title Match
The Godfather vs. Chris Jericho (c)
The Godfather came out with several Holiday Ho Elves ;) I wonder how many I could fit in my stocking .. Godfather came out swinging with some huge hits and followed it up with a High Boot. Godfather missed an Elbow Drop and Jericho took advantage. After a few punches, Godfather was thrown to the outside. As he was climbing back up, Jericho dropkicked him off the apron from the toprope and took the match to the outside. Jericho went for a Powerbomb, but the Godfather reversed it into a Back Body Drop. Back in the ring, Jericho missed off the toprope and the Godfather took over with a snap Bodyslam. Chyna quickly came out which got a "God she looks good" comment from Michael Hayes. Godfather went for the Ho Train, but Chyna lowblowed him and Jericho got the pin.
Winner: Jericho retains

Backstage Triple H set up the first Holiday Topless Toprope Match. Terri with Hardcore Holly, and BB with Val Venis. The rules are, whenever a man gets thrown over the toprope, his lady must remove an article of clothing. Whoever wins gets a IC Title Shot at Smackdown.

Holiday Topless Toprope Match
Val Venis (w/B.B.) vs. Hardcore Holly (w/Terri)
Merry Christmas to me. Before the match started, HHH's music hit and he stood up on the stage. Apparently just to get a good view hehe. Holly started out with some Arm Twisty Things which Val Venis reversed into a Headlock. He followed up with a Soulder Block, and both men went over the toprope. Terri tried to take off her shoe, but that's not clothing. Both women took off their dresses. JR said it best when he said "the male demographic just grew." Triple H said "I am a God among men" and the action continued. Val Venis was the next to go over, and Triple H dismissed Terri. Triple H said that B.B.'s job was on the line. She took it off, but Triple H covered her and kept the view for himself.
Winner: Hardcore Holly

Brahma Bull Rope Match
Al Snow vs. The Rock
I like Al Snow's old "Head" music much better than this Techno whatever. But I guess you can't be a heel if everyone wants to sing your music. The Rock took the advantage and finally put the rope on himself after sometime. They went to the outside and Snow was pulled into the Ringpost. Back int he ring, Snow hit The Rock wiith the cowbell and attempted a cover. Al Snow continued to use the bell and rope to his advantage and began to choke The Rock with it. Snow tried to hang the Rock from the toprope, but The Rock threw him off. Snow continued to choke out The Rock with the rope, but was thrown off again. The Rock came back with some hard right hands and a Samoan Drop. He still could not pin Snow however. Snow accidently lowblowed the ref with the rope, and the ref hit the ref with the bell. Al Snow got the rope off his wrist and got a steel chair. He swung and missed, and The Rock hit a DDT on the chair. The Outlaws attack, but The Rock fights them off. Spinebuster on Snow! As The Rock went for the People's Elbow, Road Dogg hit him with a chair and Snow covered The Rock as the ref woke up. The Rock kicks out! Rock Bottom on Road Dogg, but Mr. Ass gets the Fame-Asser on The Rock. Al Snow with another cover, and a three count.
Winner: Al Snow

Backstage the Posse spilled water on Triple H and Stephanie, but they didn't really get mad. They gave them a 3 on 2 Handicap Match against Too Cool. Triple H then warned them that if they spilled water on him again, they would get The Acolytes everynight for a year.

Backstage again, Triple H and Stephanie gave a bra wearing (?) Tori what she wanted. A WWF Championship Match for Kane ;) If Kane loses, Tori spends the Holidays with X-Pac.

3 Man Tag Match
The Mean Street Posse vs. Too Cool and Rikishi Phatu
This was originally a 3 on 2 match, but Garcia announced it as a 3 Man Tag Match. The Posse started out strong, but Too Cool quickly took over. They triple teamed Joey Abs and Rikishi hit him with that big booty of his. Scotty hit The Worm on Joey, but he got away and Rodney took over. Rodney sucked, but Pete Gas took over followed by Joey Abs and Scotty went down hard. Scoop Slam by a returning Rodney, and he then retagged Joey Abs. Abs went up top but missed a horrible Flying Elbow Drop and Soctty finally got a tag to Phatu. Rikishi cleared house and hit the Banzai Butt Drop on Joey Abs. Rodney got doubleteamed by Scotty and Rikishi, and Rikishi hit his Japanese Piledriver finisher for the win. I think that's technically called a Screwdriver, but I'm not completely sure. After the match, Too Cool and Rikishi got a spotlight for their dance.
Winners: Too Cool and Rikishi

Backstage Triple H and Stephanie let it be known that the change in the last match wasn't a mistake, and that their could be many more mistakes in the Title Match tonight.

World Heavyweight Title Match
The Big Show (c) vs. Kane
I think Kane totally deserves the title, and Show has got to lose it before the Rumble so this is the perfect time. Kane started off strong as Triple H and Steph came out to watch. Kane hit a beautiful Inseguri to take Big Show to the outside. He then hit a Diving Lariat off the toprope to the outside. Big Show took over, but was thrown into the ringpost. Big Show grabbed a chair and got DQed, but Triple H made it a No-DQ match and allowed it to continue. Kane took over once agin, but got thrown into the crowd. The bell rung again, and Triple H made it No COunt Outs and Falls Count Anywhere. Kane Back Bodydropped Big Show over the barrier, but got a Belly to Back Suplex for his efforts. Show went for a cover, but couldn't get 3. Big Show grabbed the steps, but Kane dropkicked them into his face! The Outlaws came out just as Kane was going for the Tombstone. He chased them off, but Big Show took the advantage back. Powerbomb through the Announce Table! 3 count for the win!
Winner: Big Show retains
