During a recent edition of BroDown on Backstage Pass, Vince Russo questioned the logic behind Hayes giving out Christmas cards two days after Christmas, noting WWE had no idea what they were doing with the segment.
"Why is he giving out Christmas cards two days after Christmas? Are they that like not having a clue? Guys, it's December 27th. If the guy was going to give away Christmas cards, it should have been last week.

He added that the company did not seem to care about anything.
"I swear I'm just getting to the point of like bro, they they just don't care about anything. They don't care about detail, they don't care about logic, they don't care about things making sense." [14: 19 onwards]
The match between Hayes and Zayn on SmackDown featured a couple of run-ins. Braun Strowman tried to attack Hayes but he managed to avoid The Monster of All Monsters. The next spot saw The Bloodline enter the ring to attack Zayn, causing the match to end in DQ.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.
Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.
He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.
While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.
When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
