Chicago, IL

HOUR ONE
- John Cena makes his way to the ring and gives the shirt off his back (and hat) to a fan in the audience. He wishes the Chicago, IL audience a Merry Christmas; but, as he begins to wax nostalgic he is interrupted by none other than Elias who asks John if he knows that WWE stands for, "Walk with Elias?" Elias is interrupted by a massive CM Punk chant. Cena and Elias both acknowledge Punk. Elias is indignant and promises to perform uninterrupted despite the chants. Once Elias begins singing badly about Chicago, Cena interrupts him, defending the city. Elias asks for a second chance and begins singing once again. Cena begins singing with Elias; but, Elias attacks him leaving Cena sprawled out on the ring floor. Elias says, "Christmas is overrated and so is Chicago." Elias then challenges Cena to a match.

- John Cena defeats Elias via pinfall

- Kurt Angle and his son, Jason Jordan, greet each other with a Christmas embrace; but, are interrupted by Seth Rollins, who wants a match with Samoa Joe.
