The new pairing of R - Truth & Xavier Woods battled with two members of 3MB , while Divas Champion AJ Lee clashed with her former best friend Kaitlyn . Foley Claus kicked off WWE Main Event , handing out presents to members of the WWE Universe . Before he headed out to prepare for the holiday rush , he wanted to wish the WWE Universe a Merry Christmas . That was , until Curtis Axel and Ryback interrupted him . The two poked fun at Jolly Old St . Mick ’ s weight , suggesting that maybe he didn ’ t need any cookies this Christmas Eve . The two then tried to steal Foley Claus ’ s bag of presents intended for good little girls and boys . The Miz finally had enough of the bullying and left the commentary table to confront Ryback and Axel . The Awesome One took a few jabs at the bullies , changing the lyrics to “ Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer ” to give Axel and The Human Wrecking Ball a taste of their own medicine . Before things could escalate any further , Foley Claus used his powers to make a huge main event , pitting Curtis Axel against The Miz . And to keep an eye on Ryback , Claus declared that he would be in The Miz ’ s corner ! The high - energy pairing of Xavier Woods & R - Truth were in action on WWE Main Event . They didn ’ t have to worry about dealing with the furious monster Brodus Clay Wednesday night , as they faced Jinder Mahal & Drew McIntyre of 3MB . The wannabe rockers couldn ’ t keep up with their agile foes , resorting to pulling on Woods ’ hair to take control of the bout . Still , the speedy duo of Woods & Truth couldn ’ t be held back for long , sending 3MB crashing to the arena floor with a pair of dropkicks . McIntyre was finally able to slow Woods down , using his strength to keep the rookie isolated from his partner . 3MB battered Woods in their half of the ring , but with the WWE Universe rallying behind him , the newcomer was able to battle back from McIntyre & Mahal ’ s double - team attack and tag in his mentor . R - Truth came in on fire , eventually showing McIntyre “ What ’ s Up ” to get the win for his team . After defeating Natalya at WWE TLC , AJ Lee ’ s holidays were off to a great start , as she still had the Divas Championship around her waist . But before she could get her Christmas in full gear , Lee had to face off with her former best friend , Kaitlyn , on WWE Main Event . Kaitlyn used her strength to her advantage in the opening moments of the match , preventing AJ from running away and muscling her around with ease . However , the Divas Champion was able to evade a running attack from Kaitlyn and quickly leap onto the offensive . AJ nearly had the bout won with a guillotine submission hold , but her strong foe was able to escape Lee ’ s clutches . Kaitlyn clobbered her former friend with a pair of clotheslines and a big shoulder block , but it was all for naught . Kaitlyn had the match won , until Tamina Snuka distracted her . Lee slithered out of Kaitlyn ’ s grasp and ensnared her in the Black Widow to pick up the victory . While Foley Claus tossed out more Christmas presents to the WWE Universe , The Miz was all business as he defended Jolly Old St . Mick ’ s honor against Curtis Axel on WWE Main Event . Claus tried to smooth things over before the match , offering Axel a Ryback action figure as a sign of holiday goodwill . Ever the Grinch , Axel stomped on the plastic version of his partner . The Miz quickly sent the third - generation Superstar tumbling to the arena floor after the opening bell . However , Axel was able to outmuscle The Miz , wrenching on The Awesome One ’ s neck . The Miz fought back with quick flurries of offense before the former Intercontinental Champion cut him off . Axel mouthed off to Foley Claus throughout the bout , going back to his bullying from earlier in the night . With Claus and the WWE Universe cheering him on , The Miz rallied back , attempting to trap Axel in the Figure Four Leg Lock . Ryback tried to interfere in the match , but The Awesome One fought him off . The Human Wrecking Ball also got a gift from Foley Claus – a Christmas stocking - covered Mandible Claw ( or Mandible Claus as Josh Mathews called it ) . With Ryback out of the picture , The Miz started the holidays with a victory , pinning Axel after a Skull - Crushing Finale .
