WWE Champion CM Punk came to Raw to criticize Ryback for injuring his knee and forcing him to undergo painful rehab . After Punk lamented at the fact there was no punishment for Ryback injuring the WWE Champion , Paul Heyman claimed there is a conspiracy to take the WWE Championship away from Punk . Heyman specifically pointed out how Ryback has received two title opportunities with Punk , and on both occasions , Ryback has failed to win . Hearing enough from Punk and Heyman , an angry Ryback charged into the arena . Uneasy with the potential for physical conflict , Heyman pointed out that Punk is not medically cleared to compete and threatened to sue Ryback for assault if he laid a finger on Punk . Seething for a chance to get at Punk , Ryback challenged Punk to a Tables , Ladders & Chairs Match on the Jan . 7 , 2013 , edition of Raw ! It was a good night for the WWE Tag Team Champions .

At the start of the main event , Alberto Del Rio tried to clear the air by claiming hitting Santa Claus with his car earlier in the night was just an accident and he wasn ' t trying to hurt him . With thoughts of an injured Santa dancing in his head , John Cena brought the fight to Del Rio in a bout where anything goes and there are no disqualifications . Taking advantage of the Miracle on 34th Street Fight rules , Cena started by blasting Del Rio with a steel chair . The Mexican Aristocrat battled back and took a gift - wrapped pumpkin pie from Ricardo Rodriguez as a weapon . Unfortunately for the ring announcer , Del Rio connected with him rather than Cena , leaving him a sticky , orange mess ! As the fight continued on the entrance ramp and stage , Cena unwrapped a TV monitor and used it to bash Del Rio in the head . When Rodriguez confronted Cena , Del Rio capitalized on the distraction , kicking Cena in the back and unloading with a series of punches while Cena was down . With Cena still dazed , Rodriguez handed Del Rio a wrapped gift to use as a potential weapon . To Del Rio ’ s dismay , the gift turned out to be a harmless teddy bear ! After throwing the bear at Cena , he countered by slamming Del Rio into the LED screen at the top of the ramp . Then in a hilarious moment , Cena laid a Christmas wreath around Rodriguez ’ s neck and smashed the hapless ring announcer over the head with a gift box ! As the competitors battled their way back toward the ring , Cena slammed Del Rio into ring barricade . With his foe down , the Cenation leader went back to the stage to search through the gifts for another weapon . At the WWE Universes ’ prompting , he opted for the Christmas tree , which he used to charge toward Del Rio and smash him to the arena floor . With The Mexican Aristocrat down and writhing in pain , Cena unwrapped a bowling ball and rolled it at Del Rio ' s crotch , leaving him in agony . For his final assault , the 2012 Slammy Award winner for Superstar of the Year unwrapped a fire extinguisher and blasted Del Rio with a blinding cloud of white powder . With Del Rio dazed , Rodriguez charged into the ring and locked Cena in a sleeper hold ! With the Cenation leader in trouble , Santa emerged to the delight of the WWE Universe ! When a jovial Rodriguez released his hold and approached Jolly St . Nick , Santa bashed him with his bag of toys ! Then in an epic move , Santa used one of his stockings to hit Del Rio with a “ Santa Socko . ” With Del Rio still reeling , Cena hit him with a blistering Attitude Adjustment for the win ! WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “ The King ” Lawler closed out the holiday extravaganza with a message for the entire WWE Universe : “ Merry Christmas to all , and to all a good night . ”
