CM Punk vs. Ludwig Kaiser announced for WWE MSG house show
WWE has announced a match for its annual December 26 event at Madison Square Garden.
CM Punk vs. Ludwig Kaiser is now advertised for the show. MSG announced the news on Saturday.
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, Rey Mysterio, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins are also advertised for the show.
Last month, a steel cage match between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed was announced for the MSG card. However, Reed suffered a broken foot jumping off the cage in the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series and is not expected back until at least after WrestleMania 41.
The match against Kaiser will be the second straight year Punk has wrestled on the show. Last year, he defeated Dominik Mysterio in his first WWE match since the 2014 Royal Rumble.
With five days remaining before the show, WrestleTix reports that 10,189 tickets have been distributed. The get-in price is currently $63 USD.
