The second taping started with Edge vs. Kung Funaki. Funaki started with offense, quite a bit actually, but then Edge dominated and won with a spear. 

Promo time with Edge and Vickie Guerrero, but you could barely hear her. HHH and Jeff Hardy in a tag team gauntlet match was announced.

Michelle McCool vs. Maria was up next. It was back and forth offense, a normal diva match. Maria wins with schoolboy.

Maria was shown in the back. The divas congratulate her but McCool comes in and kicks her. I think Carlito says, "That's not cool."

Big Show does a promo backstage and announces a steel cage match. Then there was a video package of Big Show beating up Undertaker. Show says they are both going to hell and only one will come back .... Big Show.

MVP said if he didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all. That led to MVP vs. Gregory Helms. He was called Hurricane Helms. He returned with long hair. Helms did not show much ring rust. It was back and forth offense. Hurricane chants filled the arena. Helms hit a flying crossbody and a spinning kick for the win and MVP's losing streak continued.

Next up was Jeff Hardy and HHH backstage. HHH told Hardy to stay out of his way and Jeff said he's sick of HHH and said that he'll see him out in the ring.

HHH and Jeff Hardy ran the gauntlet. The Edgeheads vs. Hardy starts off. HHH tags himself in. HHH hit a spinebuster, then a pedigree then when HHH goes for the pin, Jeff does a swanton for the win. Out next is John Morrison and The Miz. The chick magnet throws his shirt at HHH, who wipes his sweat off with it. Miz and HHH started off. Morrison came in and it was pretty basic with HHH dominating. HHH slapped Jeff on the shoulder to tag himself in. HHH came back in and Morrison took him down. Jeff came in and got a bit of offense on Miz and Morrison. Hardy slingshot outside taking everyone out. HHH started to beat up Hardy Your winners as a result of a count out are Morrison and The Miz! The refs restrained HHH and Hardy. The end???

Edge cut a promo in the back with Vickie. They were interrupted by Jeff Hardy. Edge said HHH attacked Hardy Sunday morning (in the WWE.com angle). HHH came in and Jeff immediately jumped on him until security broke it up. Edge and Vickie kissed.

Matt Hardy vs. Chavo Guerrero was next. Chavo hit offense to start the match but Matt came back. Matt hit a a bulldog. Hardy and Chavo traded offense. Vladimir Kozlov ran in and knocked out Hardy. He then tied Matt up in the ropes so the winner by DQ was Matt Hardy.

The red carpet is out and there are Christmas wreaths and stockings on the ring. You'll never guess who Santa is.... The Great Khali. Ranjin Singh is an elf and with a kiss cam. Singh introduced Santa's little helper, which is Eve. Then Khali hung mistletoe above Eve and kissed her.

Finally, they did the dark Steel Cage match. Big Show dominated and then missed a Vader Bomb. Taker got him in between the cage and ropes. Show battled out they battled back and forth. Show went and hit a superplex from the top and a near fall. Show tried to escape but Taker knocked him down. He acted like he's going out but did the throat slash. Then he does an elbow off the cage and missed. There were lots of near falls for both men. Finally, Show chokeslammed Taker for a near fall but then fell into The Devil's Triangle!!!! Show tapped out.
