WWE had a stellar 2023 as they saw incredible highs, especially after the company finalized their merger with the UFC. The company also held their last event of the year as part of their Holiday tour. Interestingly enough, some talent felt they had a ‘Home Alone 2’ experience after the December 30th, 2023 live event.

The December 30th event took place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The event featured quite a few matches for the fans, including a steel cage match between LA Knight and Jimmy Uso, Cody Rhodes vs Shinsuke Nakamura and more.

According to PWInsider, the recent WWE live event at the KIA Forum had a unique structure, aiming to efficiently wrap up and allow talents to catch red-eye flights at LAX. This departure from the usual Vince McMahon regime included early steel cage and World Heavyweight title matches, creating a haphazard card.

The intention was to express gratitude to the talents for their hard work throughout the week by ensuring a swift return home. Talents reportedly appreciated the gesture, with one jokingly likening it to a “Home Alone 2” experience as they raced to the airport for their flights.

Last night’s WWE live event at the KIA Forum was structured to get talents done and out so they could head to LAX for red-eye flights home, something like that likely may not have ever been done regularly for anyone but main eventers under the Vince McMahon regime. That’s why the steel cage match and World Heavyweight title matches were on so early and the card was so haphazard as opposed to a more traditional WWE build up over the night.  It was all designed to thank the talents for a week of hard work by getting them back ASAP.  Talents really appreciated it and one joked it was a “Home Alone 2″ experience as one by one they were all racing for and through the airport to get to their flights.”

We will have to wait and see what WWE will have planned for their talent now that 2024 has finally begun. All signs point toward an incredibly successful 2024, which has become the norm for the company.
