    We go to the RAW Rebound video set to Christmas music when Santa Claus got ran over by an Alberto.

    We also see video of last week’s Tribute to the Troops that had an episode of Miz TV with the Muppets.

    Before our next match, Three Man Band have mics as it seems Heath Slater has a case of laryngitis. Drew says for Rochester to have some respect. All the big bands perform at New Year’s Eve and no bigger than 3MB. But, Heath doesn’t have a voice so they can’t perform. Jinder says Gabriel & Kidd are jealous, which is why they attacked Heath’s larynx on RAW Monday. Drew says they are trying to halt their careers. However, Jinder says you can never stop ROCK! 3MB play air guitar as International Air-Strike is introduced for our next match.
