WWE will be holding its biggest live event of the year tonight (December 26) when they run a SmackDown live event in New York City at Madison Square Garden. This will kick off WWE’s post-Holiday tour that runs through Thursday.
Pwinsider.com reports that the start of the tour included a lot of “travel headaches” for WWE talent and staff as flight issues led to some people being delayed in getting to New York City. Other stars were sent to different airports than originally planned in order to salvage their travel issues.
As previously reported, WWE has pulled McIntyre from Monday’s house show at Madison Square Garden, where he was slated to work an eight-man tag team match due to his dealing with a ruptured eardrum. However, the advertisement has been changed to The Usos vs. Braun Strowman & Kevin Owens.
McIntyre is being given time away from in-ring action to heal WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Ricochet vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Santos Escobar in a Ladder Match is also advertised for the show.
