Speaking to PEOPLE ahead of Monday night’s episode Votethe WWE Hall of Famer said she would love to see the pair go head-to-head on Blake Shelton’s USA Network show Barmageddon.
“I’m all about girl power, so it would definitely be Gwen vs. Reba. I mean, we’ve already seen Gwen there twice. She kicks a lot of ass. She’s super competitive. So I think it would be fun to have Gwen come back and stand up to Reba,” Garcia, 40, who hosts the competition show, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

PEOPLE premiered two exclusive clips of the episode, in which Ice-T, 65, and Shelton, 47, act like they’re on Santa’s naughty list by playing a highly competitive game of Holiday Shorts and reading a corny take on the Christmas classic.
While playing a darts twist, Ice-T brought out his A-game by staying focused and ignoring Shelton’s playful teasing. After the musician — appropriately dressed in a Santa suit — stunned his guest by saying, “How come when I talk trash, you just sit there and say nothing?” he clapped back, “Are you going to throw the damn thing away?”
Shelton also seems to have kept Evil Santa’s silly antics going by reading the NSFW version It was the night before Christmas. “Happy hour, everyone, on this Bartacular night,” he declared at one point; which means fans are in for a hot special!

In light of the holiday spirit, Garcia says her favorite tradition is one her grandfather started when she was a child called the “Drummer Boy” dinner.
“We’ve still kept the tradition with our family and we usually do it the weekend before Christmas so everyone can be together and we all get together,” she says. “We make homemade spaghetti and meatballs from my grandmother’s recipe, and then play Bing Crosby’s ‘Drummer Boy.’
She adds, “We march around the house and honor all the nativity scenes that are in our home. Oh my God. And we’ve never stopped doing that. And that’s the best. That’s my best memory, the foundational memory of the holidays. And now we can share it. with their children. [Twin sister] Bri and I used to do it and it’s so special.”
