Holiday Special: Full December 23 Monday Night Raw Results (SPOILERS)

In advance. We are in the holiday season and that means a lot of people are going to be rather busy, including professional wrestlers. Every so often, a promotion will give its roster a bit of a break over the holidays and that is the case again with WWE. This time around the company is doing something different in an effort to give its wrestlers a little bit more free time.

WWE taped the December 23 Monday Night Raw in Boston, Massachusetts following the live edition of the December 16 show. The show was taped in advance as part of WWE’s efforts to give its wrestlers some additional time off for the holiday season. Monday Night Raw will return to its normal live broadcast on December 30. Here are the results, courtesy of Smark Out Moment:

* Drew McIntyre cut a promo that ended in a fight with Sami Zayn and Jey Uso.

* WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament Match: Iyo Sky def. Natalya and Alba Fyre
* Chad Gable def. Akira Tozawa
* Damian Priest def. Dominik Mysterio. JD McDonagh was at ringside dressed as Santa and got beat up by Priest, while Carlito was hiding under the ring.
* Dexter Lumis def. The Miz by DQ
* The New Day cut a promo talking down Wade Barrett and saying he’ll never wrestle again, just like Big E. Kofi Kingston’s mom disowned him.
* Drew McIntyre def. Sami Zayn
They have a lot to follow up on. Check out what happened this week:

Opinion: This is something nice to see from WWE as it isn’t reasonable to have the wrestlers going out there just before Christmas when the show can be taped in advance. It is great for the wrestlers to get something of a vacation as they can have the time off before going to the upcoming holiday live event tour. It’s good that things seem to be changing under the new ownership, and hopefully the positive changes continue.
