WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for December 25
By Bryan Heaton
The Miztourage (Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel) vs. Braun Strowman
Result: Braun Strowman defeated The Miztourage via pinfall
Rating: 1.25 out of 5 stars
Time for one more Mizmas carol before the “Secret Santa” match gets underway. So Dallas and Axel do a semi legit version of “Jingle Bells,” before their mystery opponent makes his way to the ring. That mystery opponent – Braun Strowman.
And the match is painfully short. It’s all Strowman, in a further destruction of the Finn Balor character (remember, Balor struggled to defeat the knuckleheads even with a partner, and here’s Braun doing a picture perfect machine impression).
A single running powerslam on Bo Dallas was the end of this one. But Braun wasn’t finished: Dallas got another powerslam, and Curtis Axel got two. If I had to guess, I’d say Braun is all set for his big title match at Royal Rumble. He’s not going to win, mind you, but he’s going to do something crazy, mark my words.

Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan seem to be having some issues. Teamwork makes the dream work, guys, gotta work through it!
Short version: Jordan thinks he’s an improvement over Dean Ambrose, while Rollins thinks Jordan is crazy like a fox. An awkward stare down later, the segment mercifully comes to an end.
Also interesting here is the shiner Seth Rollins is sporting. I didn’t notice it the first time he was on screen, and now I’m wondering when he got punched in the face.
