They opened with a Battle Royal where the winner got a shot at the Intercontinental Title. Alberto Del Rio won. We actually had a Ted DiBiase sighting in the match!

Layla and Alicia Fox beat Tamina and Aksana.

Alex Riley beat Michael McGillicutty.

We had another Ted DiBiase sighting as he lose to Fandangoo.

Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel beat Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal.

Hornswoggle and The Great Khali beat Epico and Primo. The fans voted that whoever lost would have to sing a Christmas song.

Wade Barrett was added to the IC Title match. Kofi Kingston retained, pinning Barrett.

After the match there was a bunch of dead time, then Barrett said he wanted to fight Kofi one on one. Instead DiBiase came out and pinned Barrett. It was a weird sequence.

Big Show beat Sheamus with two Knockout Punches to retain his World Title. He went to hit Sheamus with a chair after match but Sheamus hit him with the Brogue Kick.

Ryback and Team Hell No beat The Shield in a really good main event.
