New Matches Advertised For WWE Live Event At MSG

The WWE is slated to make a return to world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, in New York City on Wednesday, December 26th, 2018 for a live event. This event was originally advertised to feature the superstars from the blue brand, SmackDown Live. However, the company has made some changes to the card.

The first advertisements for the show had AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz. With the change made from a SmackDown show to a RAW event, new matches have been booked. The line-up now features:

• (Steel Cage Match) Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman
• RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Mickie James
• RAW Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose

Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, Elias, Jinder Mahal, Alexa Bliss, and Bayley are also advertised for this show. The WWE will be announcing more matches for this live event in the coming months.

For decades, WWE considered MSG their home arena and only the company held events at this arena. However, that all changed once ROH and NJPW teamed up to hold an event there during WrestleMania 34 weekend.
