For those asking, the Madison Square Garden show taking place in October is not a WWE Network special, at least not as of now. The reason why Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho are scheduled to appear on that show is because it is expensive to do shows at MSG so they tend to load the MSG shows up so they can fill the arena up to justify the cost of running a show there. Also, Lesnar’s current deal allows WWE to use him on some non televised shows.
Also advertised for MSG: John Cena vs. Seth Rollins, Randy Orton vs. Sheamus, and Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev.
Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer newsletter that they are looking at doing a live show on the beach for the WWE Network. This would be something similar to WCW’s Bash at the Beach in 1995.
