Note(s)
*This match featured the competitors (Deuce & Festus) dressed up in Santa outfits while wrestling.
**This match was originally supposed to be Edge Vs. Batista one-on-one for the World Heavyweight Title, but just as the match was to begin, General Manager Vickie Guerrero announced that the World Title would be on the line, but in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. After Batista pinned Zack Ryder following a spinebuster, he was announced as the NEW World Heavyweight Champion, but ala the 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the ECW Title at Judgment Day (with The McMahons & Umaga Vs. Lashley), Vickie announced that Edge must be defeated by pin or submission to lose the title.
***Near the top of the show, The Major Brothers were brought to the ring by Edge and Edge dubbed them "The Edge-Heads" and they revealed their names to be Zack Ryder (Brett Major) and Curt Hawkins (Brian Major).
Also, I will not be posting results for the Christmas Edition of ECW, nor will I be posting the results of the December 28 editon of SmackDown. ECW will be a Best of ECW 2007 show and SmackDown! will be a Greatest WWE Matches of 2007 special, so there will be no need to report results for "best of" shows. I will still be posting the results for the 2007 WWE Tribute to the Troops Special that airs this Monday.
