CM Punk Chants Hijack Seth Rollins’ Entrance at WWE MSG Event

WWE returned to its iconic home at Madison Square Garden for the legendary post-Christmas live event, and while the action in the ring delivered as always, it was the crowd’s deafening chants of “CM Punk” during Seth Rollins’ entrance that stole the spotlight.

Fans inside MSG made their voices heard loud and clear, erupting with chants for CM Punk as Rollins made his way to the ring. The chants added another layer of anticipation to their blockbuster clash set for January 6, when WWE Raw debuts on Netflix. The crowd’s energy only fueled the ongoing storyline between the two megastars, reminding everyone just how personal this rivalry has become.

While Rollins faced Dominik Mysterio in the night’s featured matchup, the audience’s attention was firmly on Punk, who is scheduled to face Ludwig Kaiser. The rest of the MSG card delivered its share of fireworks:

• Damian Priest stepped into a Steel Cage against GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship, bringing the crowd to its feet with brutal exchanges.
• Sami Zayn and Bron Breakker went to war in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match for the Intercontinental Title.
• Liv Morgan successfully defended her Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY in a back-and-forth thriller.

Still haven’t secured your tickets? The action doesn’t stop at MSG. On Sunday, WWE heads to Chicago, where CM Punk will challenge GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Title in what could be one of the biggest matches of the season.
