The COO says it is a special time of year, a time for “giving back”, which is why they enjoy making their employees “volunteer” in soup kitchens. Stephanie then says that there is nowhere they would rather be than right there with their “extended WWE family”. Triple H then promotes the “Good Santa” vs. “Bad Santa” match. Stephanie then states that RAW Christmas will also feature a 6-Man Tag Match that will feature Daniel Bryan teaming with the WWE Tag Team Champions, Goldust & Cody Rhodes, to face all three members of The Wyatt Family. Triple H then announces a big main event as the team of John Cena, Intercontinental Champion Big E.

Before Triple H could finish wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, he is interrupted by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton. After making his way to the ring, Orton thanks The Authority for supporting him during the tough time he has had, saying that it was the “faith” of The Authority that allowed him to defeat John Cena at WWE TLC. The champion continues, saying that he is in a “good mood”, so he has decided to get The Authority a Christmas gift. Orton then says that he has even wrapped his gift in a “golden bow” as his gift is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton. The Authority’s “gift” then thanks Triple H & Stephanie for giving him the night off, hugging The Authority before exiting the ring as Kane wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, igniting his signature pyro. The Divas were in the holiday spirit for RAW Christmas as Kaitlyn, Summer Rae, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Tamina Snuka, & SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero would don their best Christmas gear to combat the Total Divas team of Natalya, Eva Marie, The Bella Twins, & The Funkadactyls in a special 12-Diva Jingle Belles Tag Match with Divas Champion AJ Lee a guest on commentary.

As he continues his winning streak, the high-flying Sin Cara would go one-on-one with the third-generation star, Curtis Axel. In the end, Sin Cara would land the Swanton Bomb on Curtis Axel, picking up the win. A gigantic announcement was made during RAW Christmas as it was revealed in a thrilling promo that January 20, 2014 will mark the return of one of the most hard-hitting, dominant Superstars of all-time as six-time former World Champion “The Animal” Batista will return to the WWE after a nearly four-year absence!
