Drew McIntyre returns after Cody Rhodes invaded his home

Tonight, Drew McIntyre will make his return one week after Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes invaded his home and brawled with The Scottish Psychopath. How will McIntyre respond?




— Cody Rhodes arrives and he asks Nick Aldis if Drew McIntyre is here yet. Aldis tells him that McIntyre is on his way and that he has signed the contract. Rhodes leaves and The Miz comes by and asks where Joe Hendry is but he doesn't want Aldis to say Hendry's name. Aldis tells The Miz to prepare for his match. Aldis says Hendry's name and we see on the tv behind them that Hendry is in the ring with some women dressed in Santa outfits - Akira Tozawa and Otis are with Hendry. Hendry sings a song making fun of The Miz. The Miz comes out interrupting Hendry. Hendry suggests The Miz joins in on the song and continues singing. The Miz interrupts him again and tells everyone to shut up and gets in the ring. The Miz says now that John Cena has retired, he is now the locker room leader. Nick Aldis comes out and says their match is a Miracle on 34th Holiday Street Fight and we cut to a commercial.

Miracle on 34th Holiday Street Fight: The Miz vs. Joe Hendry

Joe Hendry begins the segment with a song, surrounded by Otis, Akira Tozawa, and several figures in Santa get-up (with a surprise appearance from the Easter Bunny). The Miz makes his appearance, and he is irate as Grand Rapids joins Hendry in a tiny balls parody of "Jingle Bells."

The Miz takes great offense to Hendry's disrespectful tune, and claims that, given that John Cena has retired, he reserves the right to be the locker room leader. Before he can say much else, Nick Aldis appears, and announces that Miz and Hendry's match will now be a "Miracle of 34th Street Fight."

The match begins with Tozawa, Otis, and the Easter Bunny at ringside as The Miz tries to overwhelm Hendry with a leglock on his neck. Hendry kips up and out of the lock before flashing his signature grin at the Miz. Hendry locks in a considerable amount of airtime on The Miz as he suspends him in a Stalling Suplex. Upon impact, The Miz rolls out of the ring, and Hendry follows.

The two men unsheathe presents, with Hendry finding a full-sized guitar while The Miz finds a ukelele, followed by two, small, suggestive blue ornaments. Undeterred, The Miz attempts to overwhelm Hendry, but the much larger Scot tosses The Miz into one of the ringside Christmas trees. Hendry's next gift is underneath the ring, where he finds a table with a holiday bow placed onto it. Hendry brings the table into the ring to set up.

The Miz follows Hendry in and attempts to get him with a roll-up, but Hendry kicks out. The Miz goes for a Skull-Crushing FInale through the table, but Hendry avoids that as well. The Miz gets tossed out of the ring, but before he can re-enter the squared circle, Hendry masterfully slides out of the ring to stand alongside Tozawa and Co. The Miz rages as the show cuts to commercial.

Back from commercial, and both Hendry and The Miz are back in the ring. Hendry lays The Miz out with a Lariat before commanding Otis and Tozawa to give him the ringside Christmas tree from earlier. Hendry lays The Miz out with it twice before slamming him into the center of the ring. Hendry's found his stride following a kip-up, and he suplexes the tree into The Miz for good measure. He riles the crowd up with his signature grin at the camera before conducting a stomp and clap sequence. The Miz attempts to get the jump on him, but Hendry banishes him to the outside.

Tozawa offers an irate Miz a tray of cookies, to which the former world titleholder knocks them out of his hands and levels him with a Big Boot. The Easter Bunny looks to exact revenge on Tozawa, but The Miz clocks him with a gift-wrapped kendo stick. The Miz tries to get one on Otis, but Otis intercepts him, and allows for Hendry to send the kendo stick straight into The Miz's private area.

The Miz gets back in the ring, where he is surrounded by Hendry, Otis, Tozawa, and the Easter Bunny. The Miz pleads for mercy before trying to go for Hendry, only to be met with another Fallaway Slam. It's Otis' turn, and he shakes the ring with an impressive Worm before flattening The Miz with a Clothesline. Tozawa goes for the Senton, and the Easter Bunny reveals himself to be...R-Truth! R-Truth clocks The Miz with the Five-Knuckle Shuffle before The Miz finds himself at the receiving end of a guitar strike from Hendry. From there, Hendry puts The Miz through the table with a Chokeslam for the 3-count.

Lash Legend (w/ Nia Jax) vs. Charlotte Flair (w/ Alexa Bliss)

The bell rings, and both women taunt each other for a bit before locking up. Legend looks to be putting on an impressive showcase against Flair's signature strength, and she overwhelms "The Queen" with a slam to open the match. Flair responds with a single, brutal chop, before Legend lays her out with a Clothesline. Legend sends Flair into multiple corners, and when Flair manages to escape the predicament, Legend comes back in full force with an Uppercut to ground the fourteen-time world champion once more.

Flair tries to gain a match advantage by using her long legs to strike Legend, but Legend lays Flair out with a Spinebuster in response. "The Bougee Bully" lives up to her moniker as she picks Flair up, puts her head and neck in between the ropes, and jostles her around carelessly. The following pinfall attempt is unsuccessful, but Flair looks rocked as Legend shakes her head at the minor inconvenience.

Legend continues to dominate with a headlock, and Flair is flailing as Bliss watches on. A punch to Legend's side is the momentum Flair needs to stage a comeback, and after a Big Boot from the apron, Flair lays Legend out with a top-rope Crossbody. Legend flails and hops as Flair lays out the family heirloom chops to her, and she looks to follow it up with a Cartwheel Clothesline...only to be plucked out of midair by a Big Boot from Legend.

Legend looks to set Flair up for a Powerbomb, but Flair wrestles her way to reverse it into a pin cover instead. Legend kicks out, but looks to be bothered by her elbow as she fails to capitalize on a Lash Extension. Flair turns Legends' lights out with a DDT, and looks to head to the top rope! Her Moonsault connects, and it's one, two — and a kickout from Legend!

Flair hardly locks in the Figure Four leglock before Legend strikes her, and Flair's second attempt is even less successful as Nia Jax leaps onto the apron to distract Flair. Flair gets back to work as Bliss rushes over to put a sleeperhold onto Jax, which allows for Flair to dodge a corner Spear from Legend. The dodge allows for "The Queen" to score a roll-up victory onto "The Bougee Bully."

Winner: Charlotte Flair

— Nick Aldis is in his office with Trick Williams. Williams is wondering what offer Aldis has for him as RAW has given him an offer.

Williams comes back and tells Rhodes that he's the future and he's the hottest free agent and if Aldis signs him, Rhodes needs to hold on to his title.
