As previously noted, WWE announced that RAW will broadcast live on both Christmas and New Years Day. This will be the first time ever that they do this. Historically, the company would tape the show prior to the holidays.

Jeff Hardy’s wife, Beth Hardy, indicated on Twitter that the decision to broadcast live on Christmas Day was the decision of the USA Network.

Christmas Day. Really??? Some are sensitive to my "public complaining" so let me NOT publicly complain about our Christmas Day without Jeff

About my last tweet…apparently it's the network's decision…not WWE's…but still…
