WWE returning to Madison Square Garden in December
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.
