Parties are a great way for all of us to spend time with family and that’s not so different for the superstars we love as well, because after filming various tours they definitely have less time to stay at home with loved ones.
In fact, even this year SmackDown, which airs every Friday night, will still offer two shows at the WWE Universe, because two episodes fall exactly on Friday 24 and 31 December, two days of celebration.
