As previously mentioned WWE announced that they will air Raw live on Christmas night (December 25) and live on New Year’s Day for the first time ever.
Reby and Beth Hardy, who are married to Matt and Jeff Hardy, respectively, and have young children, were understandably upset about the news, posting on Twitter:
Christmas is ruined 😔😢 pic.twitter.com/dar2lWAmxc

Christmas Day. Really??? Some are sensitive to my "public complaining" so let me NOT publicly complain about our Christmas Day without Jeff😒

About my last tweet…apparently it's the network's decision…not WWE's…but still…

Others on the internet have also been criticizing the decision to force workers to work on Christmas. A few fans have been responding to Vince McMahon’s Labor Day tweet with criticism, though most of the replies are just about how Roman Reigns sucks.
Here’s wishing everyone a safe, happy and healthy #LaborDay. Hard work makes anything possible.
