<p><strong>Akira Tozawa pinned R-Truth</strong> near the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to become the new WWE 24/7 Champion. Apparently, Truth thought it was Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson&#8217;s Christmas tree.</p>



<p><strong>Bobby Lashley def. Cedric Alexander:</strong> Cedric displayed excellent in-ring skills and tried to take advantage of his agility and athleticism, but <strong>Lana </strong>interrupted and asked for a Greco Roman match because she did not want Lashley to get hurt since they are getting married Live on Raw next week. Her request was not granted and the match continued with Cedric firing everything from his arsenal but eventually, Lashley delivered a massive Chokeslam and Spear to secure the pinfall.</p>
