25 Bizarre WWE Christmas Moments

1. Alberto Del Rio's Hit And Run

This is it, hands down: the greatest -- and strangest -- Christmas moment in the history of pro wrestling. On the 2012 Christmas edition of Monday Night Raw, Alberto Del Rio was making his customary fancy car entrance when a wild Santa Claus appeared. The jolly old elf was delivering presents to fans in the aisle when he wandered into the path of Alberto's luxury auto and was struck.

Santa was stretchered out, Alberto was inconsolable, and the entire roster was calling for his head. The end result of all of this was the inaugural Miracle On 34th Fight, in which Alberto was beaten pillar to post with all manner of seasonally-appropriate weapons. Highlights include Ricardo Rodriguez slipping his boss a wrapped weapon, which wound up being a teddy bear.
