Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown had a Christmas theme on the weekend of the holiday. It featured The Miracle on 34th Street Fight, which saw Ricochet and Braun Strowman taking on Imperium’s Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci.
The match featured Christmas trees, gift-wrapped steel chairs, and giant candy cane kendo sticks. During the bout, NXT Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods made a surprise appearance. There was a spot where a ballerina emerged from a giant gift box as Kaiser and Vinci opened it.
The dancer is Ashley D’Amboise, who is also an in-ring competitor in Maria Kanellis’s Women’s Wrestling Army promotion. Maria took to Twitter to congratulate Ashley for her SmackDown appearance.
D’Amboise previously appeared in two other WWE segments this year, including on Raw and SmackDown in April.
