It's the Friday before Christmas, and this is your Friday night Smackdown review here for December 23rd,

2022. You know what else it is today. I mean obviously we have people in the chat talking about how it is Christmas Eve Eve.

Obviously tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

Do you know what today also is today is maybe the best day of them all today, and I came prepared tonight.

Today, there it is. It is festivists. It is a festivist for the rest of us.

I brought my pole. I told you I would. I went out and I got the best pole because look,

Russo Elf brought me this pole. I didn't have to go to Home Depot. I didn't have to go to Lowe's.

I didn't have to go any. I didn't have to leave the house.

All I had to do was pick up the phone and make a phone call. I knew exactly who to call if I needed a pole.

And Russo Russo Elf has delivered us an aluminum pole as per tradition.

There it is. Yes, it is everyone's favorite non-commercial alternative to Christmas.

It is indeed festivists. We will not be having the feats of strength because I'm too lazy to do that tonight.

But I do have some grievances that I will be airing.

You didn't think we'd have a festivist celebration without the airing of grievances.

Now did you? So we'll talk about my grievances here after tonight's filler episode of Smackdown.

It was a taped holiday filler episode of Smackdown.

Not a whole lot to really get excited about.

Fun main event, but that's about it. There really wasn't much more to it than that.

But before we go on, I do want to mention here. We'll get rid of this pole.

The pole will reappear when needed.

So Russo Elf will keep that pole nice and safe for us a little bit a little bit later.

But I do want to just send well wishes to anybody who is in a state right now that is under any kind of emergency.
