While speaking to Sporting News, Alexa Bliss was asked about how she feels about working on Christmas this year and mentioned that she is going to try to make the best of it.

“Honestly, I didn’t really have an opinion on it. [Laughs] It’s what we do. This is our job and no matter what day it falls on we have to do our job. I know some people were not too happy about it — the people that have families and stuff like that — but it’s work. It’s what we have to do. We signed up for it. I don’t really have an opinion on it. I just figured I’d make the best of it.”

As previously reported, historically WWE normally tapes Holiday episode of WWE programming to allow talents to have time off to spend with their families. This year WWE decided against it and will now broadcast live for Christmas and The New Years.

As seen on Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live, several members of the RAW roster invaded the blue brand and got the upper hand. Several RAW Superstars reacted to the invasion on Twitter with the following remarks:

It’s been a wild 24 hours, but there is no doubt….the Big Dog is back. #JustAskSmackdown

Nia Jax recently spoke with The Mirror about her time on the main roster and her recent absence from WWE.  Here are some highlights from the interview:

Their impact during their short time on the main roster: “Yeah we didn’t think that, we didn’t think it would come this far. Lex [Alexa] is just a shooting star right now, it’s crazy. She is on fire. We didn’t expect that in NXT at all. It’s very humbling and we’re honoured. Hopefully it continues.”

Nia Jax’s time away from WWE: “Thank you. Well actually I had live events off for the last couple of weeks because that’s just how it worked out, for cycling and stuff, so I got a little rest from TV because I wasn’t in anything storyline-wise, so I had a little rest there. But yeah, it’s been great. I love what we do, I love the storytelling, especially being such a different character and obviously a different size than everybody, we get to play on that and it’s always cool to see where we can go in the ring.”

If WWE fans will see a different side of her on Total Divas: “Yes, definitely. They will definitely see something completely different. On Raw I’m the big mean girl who goes and beats everybody up, on Total Divas they will see a softer vulnerable side of me that definitely isn’t see on Raw. And some very goofy stuff between Alexa and I. Team Rude is definitely in full effect.”

Ross opens today’s show speaking about Sunday’s TLC PPV.

Ross says if he was booking WWE, he wouldn’t book Asuka to lose until there was a defining angle in place to do so. If he was to criticize one thing about the match, he’d say that Emma had too much offence in that bout. He felt that Emma, or whoever Asuka’s opponent was, needed to take one for the team because someone who was promoted like Asuka was needed to have a much more convincing win.

He says he enjoys Elias’ character, but appearing in front of the live audience three times in one night is the kiss of death in his opinion. He believes that Jason Jordan is a natural heel in the making because he’s so athletic and handsome. Ross feels that Jordan will be a great heel someday.

Ross says he was very pleased and excited to see Mickie James have a great showing during her WWE Championship bout. He says Alexa Bliss should buy James dinner after the favour James did for her on Sunday. He also mentions that he hasn’t been a big fan of the ‘age’ storyline between these two women because that’s been done a million times before.

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane.

Russo opens today’s show speaking about The Bullet Club’s Invasion of RAW this past Monday. He has no idea what these ‘marks’ were trying to accomplish by doing this but if they were looking for trouble, they’ve found it because WWE issued a cease and desist letter. He says that these guys should be happy with the good living that they’re making on the indie scene.

He also points out that no casual fan has a clue who these guys are. They’re followed by the hardcore indie marks but the mainstream audience has no idea who they are, so it was obvious to him that WWE wasn’t going to open their doors to them on Monday night to invite them on the show.

Lane plays a clip of Wade Keller who says that he didn’t like the ‘training bra’ line utilized by Mickie James in her promo with Alexa Bliss. Keller says that WWE’s male writers always have to bring things back to breasts. Russo says that he spoke to people within WWE, and he can confirm that a male writer did not write that line. He also says that this line got the biggest pop in the entire promo but Keller doesn’t care about what works with the audience, he just cares about what he likes.

Block 1:

Taz opens today’s show speaking about the final segment of Monday Night RAW from last night. Enzo Amore stood in the middle of the ring and roasted each cruiserweight one by one, as they all just stood on the stage taking the verbal jabs. Taz understands that WWE is trying to make this division feel important, but having all the other cruiserweights stand on the stage together made it feel like they are all ‘less than’ Amore.

He goes on to say that he enjoyed a lot of the verbal confrontation between Neville and Amore. Neville is over right now, and his terrific work as Cruiserweight Champion did a lot to add legitimacy to that Title. Amore is obviously very good on the mic, so the interaction between these two men makes for very interesting television.

Taz didn’t consider last night’s final segment to be a double turn with Amore and Neville. Amore is slowly turning into a heel for sure, but it’s been happening for weeks now. His attitude and boastful nature has slowly turned the fans against him, but the turn hasn’t been cemented just yet. Taz doesn’t think Neville’s character is going to change at all and if the fans start cheering him, that’s okay too.

Taz says that Mickie James is one of the most underrated performers on WWE’s roster right now, and her promo last night was terrific. Her and Alexa Bliss had a great in-ring segment, and he likes that WWE creative is implementing ‘shoot-style’ content into the Women’s division now as well.

As seen on Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live, Jinder Mahal cut a promo that mocked Shinsuke Nakamura for being Japanese. At one point in the promo, Mahal said “you always rook the same.” Fans in attendance responded with “that’s too far” chant.

WWE apparently wasn’t a fan of this segment as it was not uploaded to the company’s YouTube channel. It will be interesting to see if they “forget” about this promo moving forward just like they did with Alexa Bliss’ “This Is Your Life” segment.
