Owens is about to introduce us to the Kevin Owens Show, but he changes it to the Chris and Kevin Show. He says it was worth taking a Codebreaker to retain the titles.
Jericho said he had to make everyone believe he was actually mad at Owens to pull it off. He gives Owens the hug of Jericho, telling him to "Bring it in, Maaaaaannnnnn."
Then Jericho starts ranting about Santa Claus for some reason. He puts Santa on the list for stealing his gimmick of having a list.
WWE's resident Santa, Mick Foley, heads to the ring looking decidedly less like Santa than normal in a leather jacket and dyed hair. KO reminds them of being put through a table by showing photos of Rollins and Reigns destroying them.
Foley takes off the jacket to reveal the worst Christmas shirt ever made. He can barely keep himself from laughing at how bad it is.
He tells Jericho and Owens they will be facing Reigns and Rollins, then he says they are in Pittsburgh, which upset the Columbus, OH crowd.
He corrects himself, and Jericho says Pittsburgh is better than Columbus anyway. Foley tells Owens that when he defends the title at The Royal Rumble, Jericho will be locked inside a shark cage above the ring.
Foley books Owens vs. Reigns for the title at RR, saying Jericho will not be able to interfere. Y2J says Foley can't make him get in the cage, so Foley says if he doesn't he is fired.
Jericho gets in the cage while making fun of it, so Foley locks him in. Foley can't find the key in his fanny pack. He goes through the whole thing, removing several humorous items, but not finding the key.
Foley "accidentally" gives the signal to raise the cage and Jericho starts freaking out.
Big Cass vs. Rusev
Rusev won via DQ when Big Cass wouldn't let up on Rusev and then still continued the attack on Rusev after the bell then Rusev retreated from the ring.
Sasha Banks heads to the ring with a brace on her leg and a crutch.
Banks talks about how she literally gave her blood sweat and tears last night, but it was losing her title that broke her heart. She says she made history with Charlotte multiple times, but she admits the better woman won last night.
She invites Charlotte to the ring so she can congratulate her face to face.
It takes a little while before Nia Jax's music hits and she comes out instead. She circles an injured Banks like a vulture waiting for its dinner to die.
She says she doesn't care about Charlotte. She says Banks will never be The Boss to her because she is a weak little girl. She kicks the crutch and knocks Banks down. The crutch actually flew up in the air and luckily landed right back in the ring.
She throws Banks into the ropes so her injured leg slams into the bottom rope
Jax leaves the ring after making her statement while Banks struggles to recover.

The New Day head to the ring to talk about their loss at Roadblock. They say they may have lost the titles, but they won't mourn the loss forever.
Kofi says Ric Flair couldn't have held the title 16 times without losing it 15 times, and Big E jokes that Charlotte will accomplish the same thing in a month, making him the MVP of tonight's show.
Cesaro and Sheamus come out on the stage and Cesaro stops Sheamus from mocking The New Day's signature intro.
Kofi is a little mad Cesaro and Sheamus were given new belts, but they are happy that if anyone was going to beat them, it was Cesaro.
Sheamus thinks they are talking about him, so Woods shames him. Cesaro and Sheamus exchange some insults while the crowd chants Shame at Sheamus.
Sheamus mocks The New Day for losing the titles and being a disgrace to the titles. He predicts he will be a tag champion for the next 20 years.
Anderson & Gallows come out.
Gallows and Anderson take credit for softening up The New Day for Cesaro and Sheamus. For some reason, The Shining Stars think they deserve to be in this conversation.
The Shining Stars, Anderson and Gallows attack the new champions, but The New Day help them clean house.
New Day/Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Anderson & Gallows And The Shining Stars.
New Day & Sheamus & Cessaro won

She also brags about her PPV winning streak. She gets some cheap heat by making fun of Ohio before Bayley makes her way to the ring.
Bayley congratulates Charlotte on her win and says her rivalry with Sasha will go
down as one of the greatest in history.
Then she says it's time for the Bayley/Charlotte rivalry to begin. The crowd chants Yes over and over. She reminds Charlotte that she holds two victories over her.
