Scott explained that he would be the host of a special holiday edition of Main Event, which turned out to be a 100% recap show, highlighting events from TLC and the subsequent episodes of Raw and Smackdown. Scott offered some in-studio introductions, and provided voiceovers to some of the recap videos, as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replay of McMahon family \u201cfresh start\u201d announcements from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Corbin\u2019s handicap match against Angle, Cruise, Gable, and Roode from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Ambrose post-TLC promo from RawReplay of Ambrose vs. Breeze Intercontinental Open Challenge from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Promo video for NXT #FreshStart callups<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Asuka, Lynch, and Flair bickering in the ring and Vince McMahon berating Lynch from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Asuka vs. Naomi for Women\u2019s Championship from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Ali &amp; Styles vs. Bryan &amp; Almas from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Recap of women\u2019s gauntlet match to determine #1 contender to face Rousey from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Natalya vs. Banks, culmination of gauntlet match, from Raw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SHOW SCORE (0-10):<\/strong> 1.2<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEYERS\u2018 FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> \u00a0Unless you\u2019re a neurotic Main Event completist, \u00a0there is no reason to watch this episode. Main Event is typically taped prior to Raw, but because WWE had to record next week\u2019s Christmas Eve episode after the live Raw broadcast, there was no time to fit in any Main Event matches at the taping.
