Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw for December 25, 2017 is coming to you live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!

• John Cena kicks off the show, giving a kid in the crowd his hat and shirt. He's interrupted by Elias, who says WWE stands for "walk with Elias" (LOL). The fans chant for CM Punk to interrupt both of them. Elias sings about how Chicago is a bad place to spend the holidays. Cena tells him he's a jerk. Elias tries a second time and ends up cheapshotting Cena, then saying Christmas is overrated and so is Chicago.
• John Cena def. Elias by pinfall
• Kurt Angle is setting up a tree backstage. Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins come to talk to him, both asking for a match against Samoa Joe. Kurt tells them they're going to team up together to face The Bar for the tag titles tonight. Roman Reigns gets Samoa Joe tonight, but it's for the Intercontinental Championship.
• Hideo Itami def. The Brian Kendrick by pinfall
• Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel sing a rendition of Joy to the World about how The Miz is awesome to Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James, who just walk away.
• Absolution def. Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James by pinfall
• Samoa Joe is interviewed by Renee Young, where he slyly mentions that now that he's injured him, Dean Ambrose can spend the holidays with his loved ones, which clearly upsets Renee. Nice touch. He touts that he'll beat Reigns tonight for the title, too.
• Kane def. Heath Slater by pinfall
• Finn Balor def. Curt Hawkins by pinfall
• The Miztourage give Goldust a copy of Santa's Little Helper (Miz's film) after singing him a carol. Goldust regifts it immediately to Titus O'Neil.
• Sheamus gives Cesaro a Christmas gift, which is a Dean Ambrose action figure with a missing arm. Cesaro got Sheamus a Seth Rollins figure that Sheamus plans on breaking just like the real one. He also got him a Jason Jordan figure and they joke that nobody wants that, including Rollins and Angle.
• Miracle on 34th Street Fight: Cedric Alexander, Akira Tozawa and Mustafa Ali def. Enzo Amore, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari by pinfall (Alexander pins Daivari)
• Nia Jax and Enzo Amore flirt backstage and find themselves under the mistletoe, but Alexa Bliss interrupts before they kiss, saying she has to talk to Nia.
• Intercontinental Championship Match: Samoa Joe def. Roman Reigns by disqualification to retain the title but lose the match itself. Reigns attacks Joe following the match until the point where trainers need to stop him.
• Braun Strowman def. The Miztourage in a Secret Santa handicap match by pinfall. After the match, Strowman hits 3 more powerslams for the hell of it.
  
• Alexa Bliss comes out to say that the women's Royal Rumble happening is because of her accomplishments in what was clearly her year. She's interrupted by Asuka, who says she's entering the match and will win it. Nobody is ready for Asuka. She blasts Alexa with a kick and poses.
• Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan def. The Bar (c) to win the titles by pinfall
