“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

A video recaps Sheamus accidentally giving Drew McIntyre a Brogue Kick last week on Monday Night Raw.

The Raw intro video plays, and we go into the new WWE ThunderDome inside Tropicana Field.

The Miz is seated in the ring and puts over his reality show “Miz & Mrs.” Miz says it’s time to read The Nightmare Before TLC. Miz has a big goofy children’s book with AJ Styles on the cover. Miz snaps his fingers and AJ Styles is shown in a spotlight. Styles wants Omos shown and snaps his fingers, showing Omos at ringside, but Miz has the lights turned off. “Drew McIntyre” is then shown, which is John Morrison. Styles and “McIntyre” have a fake play fight ending with Styles stabbing “McIntyre” with a plastic sword. Styles climbs a ladder in the ring, and Miz reads a part of the story about him cashing in Money in the Bank on Styles. Styles isn’t happy about that.

Sheamus comes out to the ring and says he thought he saw it all in WWE. Sheamus wants a fight. Styles throws a Christmas tree into Sheamus’ face. Sheamus responds by throwing a giant gift box at Styles.
