Shane McMahon finally agreed to team up with The Miz during a special Christmas edition of MizTV on last night’s episode of SmackDown LIVE. There is no word yet on when Shane & Miz will officially team back up or where WWE is going with this storyline but a Miz vs. McMahon Match was rumored for WrestleMania 35 at one point. Below is a video from The MizTV segment:

It will be interesting to see if Naomi gets a new tag team partner for her feud with Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville now that WWE has confirmed The WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles for some time in 2019. Last night’s episode of SmackDown LIVE featured Rose trying to lure Jimmy Uso into a mistletoe trap, which ended with Naomi trying to attack Rose & Deville. Below is a clip from the segment along with Twitter reactions from Naomi and a shot she fired at Rose:
