WWE Madison Square Garden results: Gunther, Seth Rollins, CM Punk in action

Posted on by Josh Nason

WWE held its annual post-Christmas live event at Madison Square Garden Thursday featuring some of the company’s biggest stars in action including CM Punk, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, Seth Rollins, and more.

It was the main roster’s first action since December 16th when they held both a taped and live Raw to give wrestlers and staff an extended holiday break — a new element in the TKO era. They will continue with their holiday tour through the end of 2024, resuming with live TV starting Friday in Tampa, Florida.

It was a split squad night as they also held a live event in Jacksonville, Florida, with Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, members of the Bloodline, and others. Rhodes defeated Kevin Owens in a cage match main event.

Here’s the results from MSG:

  • LA Knight defeated Santos Escobar
  • Xavier Woods defeated Otis
  • WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker defeated Sami Zayn in a best-of-three falls match
  • Seth Rollins defeated Dominik Mysterio
  • CM Punk defeated Ludwig Kaiser
  • The Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis & Nikki Cross) defeated The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam, Rezar, & Scarlett)
  • WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defeated IYO SKY to retain
  • WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther defeated Damian Priest in a cage match

After the main event, Punk ran out to aid Priest from an attack from Mysterio and Kaiser, wearing just a shower cap and a towel:

WWE will return to MSG for a live Raw this March.

WWE returning to Madison Square Garden in December

Posted on by Josh Nason

After some questions regarding the lack of a holiday tradition when their December schedule was announced in late-September, WWE will indeed be returning to Madison Square Garden during the holidays after all.

In a video played during Monday’s New York Knicks game at MSG, Knicks’ star Jalen Brunson made the announcement that WWE will run the famed arena on Thursday, December 26th. Tickets will go on sale this Friday.

WWE routinely runs MSG during the holidays, traditionally within a few days after Christmas. It will be one of two shows WWE is running that night as they will also be at Jacksonville, Florida’s Vystar Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Brunson was part of a televised angle with Indiana Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton as part of a June SmackDown held at MSG. Several days ago, Brunson was asked about the angle and joked he should have hit Haliburton with a chair. The Knicks do not have a game scheduled that night, meaning the possibility of Brunson making an appearance is a definite possibility.
