Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 22, 2014

The show starts with Ho-Ho-Hogan...as Hulk Hogan shows up dressed as Santa Claus. He's got some gifts for tonight: Roman Reigns vs. Big Show, and a Miracle on 34th Street Fight between Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt. John Cena shows up, and says he wanted a Frozen Sing-Along Play Set until what happened last week in his match against Seth Rollins. He wants a rematch against Seth Rollins as his new Christmas wish, and after he asks Ho-Ho-Hogan for it, Rollins shows up, reminds everyone he's The Future of WWE, then whines about Triple H and Stephanie McMahon not running the show again while Ho-Ho-Hogan is and how he plans to attack Cena until he brings them back. He then wants Ho-Ho-Hogan to make his Christmas wish come true: bringing HHH and Stephanie back. John Cena tells Rollins to shut up, that he's not bringing them back, and that he can send some neon green tennis shoes up his ass and have him spitting out neon green for a week. This gives Ho-Ho-Hogan an idea: make Cena vs. Rollins the first match...and it happens next.

John Cena beats Seth Rollins.

Fandango beats Jack Swagger.

Tom Phillips interviews Dolph Ziggler. He has a much better idea of how far Luke Harper is willing to go for the Intercontinental title after TLC, but he plans to steal the show and retain the belt tonight.

R-Truth beats Adam Rose. After the match, The Bunny tries to console Rose, but Rose snaps and beats him up. He almost takes his anger out on the Exotic Express as well.

Big E takes on Stardust tomorrow night on Main Event!

Dolph Ziggler retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Luke Harper. After the match, Jerry Lawler interviews Ziggler, who credits the WWE Universe for his iron will throughout the match.

It's time for Piper's Pit! "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's guests tonight are Lana and Rusev, who have a "special Christmas message" for the WWE Universe. Lana calls Christmas "a joke," and "the one time of the year where people pretend to be good." This gets Piper fired up. We then see footage from last week of Rusev jumping Ryback from behind, then Rusev asks if Piper believes he can crush Ryback as well as Piper himself. Piper tries to de-escalate the situtation by saying he has a present for them, and it's wrapped in a bow. The present is Ryback, who is actually wearing a big bow, and he charges Ryback. Rusev fights back, but Ryback quickly recovers and forces Rusev to retreat with a Meat Hook attempt.

Alicia Fox, Emma and Naomi beat Cameron, Paige and Summer Rae in a Santa's Helpers 6-Diva Tag Match.

The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) debut next week!

The Miz beats Jey Uso by grabbing Jey's tights after reversing his roll-up.

Before his match, Bray Wyatt says Christmas is a facade to shield people from the real world - where he is king - made to make people feel safe. He plans to destroy Dean Ambrose once again.

Bray Wyatt beats Dean Ambrose in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. After the match, Wyatt tries to attack Ambrose again only to be blasted with a fire extinguisher by Ambrose, who then elbow drops Wyatt from the top rope and through a table.
