WWE kicked off its 2024 Holiday Tour with the traditional Boxing Day live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show featured most of Monday Night RAW's top superstars, while a simultaneous live event in Jacksonville was centered around Friday Night SmackDown.
Gunther headlined last night's show, retaining his World Heavyweight Championship in a Steel Cage Match against Damian Priest. Dominik Mysterio slammed the cage door in The Punisher's face to cost him the match. However, as Dirty Dom and Ludwig Kaiser began attacking Priest, CM Punk came out for the save.
The Second City Saint was wearing a towel and a shower cap, as he helped Damian Priest stand tall following his first-ever MSG main event. Punk's appearance at the end of the show was a surprise, as he had defeated Kaiser earlier in the night. Meanwhile, Dirty Dom himself lost to Seth Rollins. The Visionary also paid tribute to the late Brodie Lee, who tragically passed away four years ago.
Elsewhere on the card, Liv Morgan retained her Women's World Championship against IYO SKY and Bron Breakker fended off Sami Zayn. The Intercontinental Champion won a two-out-of-three Falls Match against The Honorary Uce.
The Wyatt Sicks won a mixed tag team match against The Final Testament, with Scarlett returning to the ring after three months. Nikki Cross bit her on the backside during the match. Elsewhere, in non-title action, Xavier Woods defeated Otis and LA Knight overcame Santos Escobar in the only match on the card featuring SmackDown stars.
