Here's my theory, they're doing live shows this year in the place of "best of Raw" shows because there isn't enough to fill 3 hours Reminds me of the joke when they announced a best of RAW 2009 DVD that it would just be 3 blank DVDs

I'm picturing the McMahon-Levesques having Christmas dinner on the stage whilst sending the wrestlers to the ring... We're gonna get a foodfight aren't we? They haven't done a good foodfight since SmackDown 2000. The one for Independence Day last year was a banger. Cesaro and Apollo Crews held an arm-wrestling stalemate the whole time and Kevin Owens took a pie to the face from a disembodied hand.

Why do that to your already overworked talent? Are thousands of people going to show up to a wrestling show on Christmas Day?
Stupid idea

This is disgusting.
Even if it's in Miami where half the wrestlers live this would still be a shitty thing to do.

In fairness I see this as them doing it like the other sports with NBA playing on Xmas and Football playing on Thanksgiving
Is it shitty considering how much they are on the road, yes but I can understand the reasoning

On one hand the last time Raw fell on New Year's it was live and we had Kevin Federline beating Cena.
On the other hand the college football semifinals this season is on New Year's Day so there's an alibi.

"Braun Strowman: KURT ANGLE, I WANT A 2 TURKEY CHRISTMAS DINNERS IN CATERING, OR ELSE!" "Actually Kurt, that doesn't seem reasonable, I apologise. It wouldn't be fair for all the other turkeys. GIVE ME THE ENTIRE FARM, KURT! I NEED TO FEAST!"

Who the f*** wants to sit three hours of wrestling on Christmas? To paraphase a Norm McDonald joke, "Happy birthday Jesus, I hope you like bland wrestling and non stop commericals!"

Eh, pro/college football, NBA, and hockey teams have been having games on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years forever with no real say in the matter. I wouldn't want to work it, but it is what it is. That said they'll probably want to have a huge hook for these shows to get anyone to actually watch on TV. Roman Reigns will have FIVE matches on the show!And get FIVE holiday bonuses!

I`m sure half of the roster will be glad to be On The House that AJ Styles Built.
Ain't he a great Christmas Host?

In response to the arena being empty posts, it'll draw the usual crowd. They might knock the price down a little but that's it. The stadiums/arenas aren't empty for the NFL, NBA and NCAA on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Christmas has become a big opening day for movies. Not everyone has or wants to spend the entire day with the family.

Probably not a coincidence this information came out on Labor day. What a vile creature Vince McMahon is.

When I was in kindergarten the teacher called my mom in to speak to her about what a hideous liar I was. My teacher said that I had told all the other kids the Easter Bunny had already come to my house, even though Easter wasn't for a week or whatever yet. My mom said, "His father and I both work shift work. The Easter Bunny comes when he tell him to come". My teacher said "oh...."

To be fair, those sports tend to have lengthy breaks, whereas WWE wrestlers work year-round without such luxuries.
