The Bella’s are shown backstage sitting on Santa Long’s lap, arguing about who deserves what for Christmas, and who is the good twin. Long says both of the Bella’s have been bad, but it’s the holiday season, and it’s the time for giving, and he’s got gifts for both of them. Long gives them cards with the number to his direct line in case they want to play any ‘Reindeer games’. The Bella’s are disgusted and they leave. When Long turns around, Jack Swagger is there. Swagger asks what Long is going to do about Mark Henry hitting him with a chair. Long says nothing, Swagger’s the one who ticked off Henry in the first place. Long invites Swagger to sit on his lap to try and work things out. Thankfully they’re interrupted by Sheamus before that can happen. Sheamus says Long makes a fine Santa Clause. Long says he wants to talk to Sheamus and this makes Swagger angry. Sheamus tells Swagger some story that probably means something, but it’s pretty boring and made me zone out. Long tries to diffuse the situation by giving everyone an early Christmas present, and making Sheamus vs. Jack Swagger for later tonight.
