Every WWE SmackDown Live Episode Ranked - From Worst To Best

8. Super SmackDown Live! Christmas Special - 29/11/11

Another year passed and SmackDown was live once more, live for another Christmas special that truly ramped up the festive elements that were missing the year before. It went a little over the top however, and as such turned out to be something of a drag.

Mick Foley hosted the show, and there were three (3!) Christmas-themed matches on the show, The first of these was a Mistletoe On A Pole match won by Brie Bella, a match that you should probably forget about before you get to the end of this entry. Randy Orton and David Otunga had a shockingly fun Miracle on 34th Street Fight, albeit one that saw Orton beat the tar out of Otunga for seven minutes.

Hornswoggle won an All I Want For Christmas Battle Royal, outsmarting Sheamus to win in a way that made the Celtic Warrior look like an absolute tool.

The main event of the show saw then-Mr. Money in the Bank Daniel Bryan come up short in a World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage match against Mark Henry. Bryan wasn't quite able to get a great match out of Henry, but things were about to take a dramatic turn for the future leader of the Yes! Movement.
