Folks, brace yourselves. WWE’s long-standing tradition of post-Christmas chaos at Madison Square Garden—a staple of every wrestling fan’s holiday diet—might be in serious jeopardy. We’re talking about the Grinch-level stuff here, people. According to the crack investigators over at Fightful Select, the show has yet to be announced, and it’s raising eyebrows like a bad case of holiday eggnog.
Now, before you grab your pitchforks and storm Titan Towers, let me tell you there’s still hope. Yes, folks, despite no flashy graphics or splashy announcements, the show is apparently still lurking in the shadows like a Brock Lesnar surprise entrance. Fightful reports that WWE talent have seen the show listed internally on their talent relations app. You heard that right—deep within the digital vaults of WWE, the MSG show might still be penciled in. How comforting.
But let’s not sugarcoat it—WWE has been mysteriously quiet. They’ve rolled out their 2024 Holiday Tour, hitting cities like Jacksonville, Tampa, and Detroit. These are big towns, folks, but none of them are the Big Apple. WWE fans are left asking, “Where’s the love for MSG?”
In case you forgot (and let’s be honest, how could you?), last year’s MSG show was like a WrestleMania-sized gift under the tree. You had Seth Rollins defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes in a Bull Rope Match with Shinsuke Nakamura, and CM Punk’s massive return to face Dominik Mysterio. Oh, and don’t forget June’s “acknowledgment ceremony,” where The Bloodline staged a mutiny that made Paul Heyman the latest New Yorker to be betrayed by people he thought were his friends. What a year!
So, is WWE going to pull through and deliver at MSG on December 26? Or are we looking at the first holiday season without body slams and chair shots in Midtown? Only time, and perhaps a last-minute announcement, will tell.
