...
...
...
We're backstage with Sheamus and Cesaro. The Irishman gives Cesaro a Dean Ambrose action figure, an authentic one with a missing arm! They also mock Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan, who Kurt Angle doesn't even want as his son. 
...
Bray Wyatt then makes his way to the ring when he is ambushed by Matt Hardy, who proceeds to mock him with his nonsensical laugh.  
...
Bray Wyatt cuts another promo about Hardy and Sister Abigail with a Christmas theme.

...
Curt Hawkins vs. Finn Balor
Hawkins, on a 146-match losing streak, is up against Balor. Say what you want, but it always feels like a big deal when the Irishman comes out. Vince's wrong on this one. Balor wins in no time with a Coup De Grace. This is loss no 147 in a row for Hawkins.

...
...
The match is followed by a cheesy, Stephanie McMahon-narrated video package about the Women's Royal Rumble. If you were an outsider whose only link to American culture was WWE, you'd think women's suffrage wasn't a thing there until a couple of years ago. 
...
After another back forth, Itami downs Kendrick. He then calls for the GTS which he hits to pick up the win. No reaction from Chicago after watching its favourite son's finishing manoeuvre on Raw.
