5 WWE Superstars who dressed up as Santa Claus

The Christmas season is upon us, and WWE certainly knows how to spread the festive joy.

Over the years, a host of WWE Superstars have dressed up as Santa Claus to entertain fans with their antics as well as some in-ring action. The joy that these superstars have brought to the WWE Universe during this time is simply beyond words.

The craze for Santa in Vince McMahon's promotion even led to a 24/7 Championship victory back in 2019 on the December 23 episode of RAW. Father Christmas won the title from Akira Tozawa only to lose it to R-Truth on the same night. The scenes of seeing Santa pin Tozawa are reminisced by fans till date.

With that being said, indulging in the festivities of Christmas, in this article, we look at five WWE Superstars who dressed up as Santa Claus:

#5 Former WWE 24/7 Champion - R-Truth

The 53-time WWE 24/7 Champion, R-Truth, undoubtedly knows how to spread joy during Christmas.

Truth has donned the role of Santa Claus on multiple occasions in WWE. He entertained soldiers dressed up as Santa for a Tribute to the Troops event.

On the December 25, 2018, episode of SmackDown, he, along with Carmella, dressed as Mr. and Mrs.Claus, greeted the WWE Universe with holiday cheer. They showcased some epic dance moves before being interrupted by an irate Daniel Bryan.

Truth was again seen dressed as Santa trying to get his hands on Dana Brooke's 24/7 Championship on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. His antics as Santa Claus have certainly been very entertaining.

#4 WWE Legend - Big Show

One of the biggest men to step into the squared circle, Big Show donned Santa's red and white attire back in 2010.

The Giant hosted a segment with Rosa Mendes and WWE's resident elf, Hornswoggle. Things were going well until Cody Rhodes crashed the party and attacked Hornswoggle, portraying himself as The Grinch. Show didn't take this too kindly, beating down the intruder.

Interestingly, Big Show has also portrayed Santa Claus in the Arnold Schwarzenegger Christmas Classic Jingle All The Way.

#3 WWE Hall of Famer - Mark Henry

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry has been one of the most dominant men to step foot in the ring.

On the December 23, 2013, episode of Monday Night RAW, 'The World's Strongest Man' portrayed the good Santa, whereas Damien Sandow was the evil Claus in the Battle for Christmas Match.

The contest was a classic as Good Santa finally prevailed when Henry blinded Sandow with gas from a fire extinguisher, nailing him with the World's Strongest Slam for the win.

#2 Sixteen-time world champion - John Cena

Sixteen-time world champion and Hollywood sensation John Cena certainly knows how to indulge in the Christmas spirit.

At Tribute to the Troops in 2007, the Cenation Leader wore the red and white suit to lay out evil boss Vince McMahon with a befitting Attitude Adjustment. This came after the latter had stripped Cena of the title due to an injury he suffered against Randy Orton.

Despite wearing a sling, Cena managed to lift the boss for the AA, which was indeed a testament to his physical ability. The revenge on the evil WWE Chairman was undoubtedly sweet for Big Match John.

#1 WWE Hall of Famer - Stone Cold Steve Austin

Six-time WWE Champion and Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is arguably one of the greatest superstars this promotion has seen.

The Texas Rattlesnake had some epic feuds with Vince McMahon during the Attitude Era. The rivalry continued with the inaugural Tribute to the Troops event held in 2003 at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq.

Vince McMahon was up to his evil antics yet again before being interrupted by Stone Cold dressed up as Santa Claus. However, the WWE Chairman was utterly clueless about who the person was behind the Santa costume.

McMahon pushed Santa when he did not give him a gift. Not taking the push too kindly, the latter revealed his identity as Austin, nailing the chairman with a devastating Stone Cold Stunner.

Austin then celebrated with the troops, which certainly was a moment to cherish for the WWE Universe.
