CM Punk made his historic comeback to Madison Square Garden on December 26

CM Punk sold out Madison Square Garden with his WWE comeback match in a decade. The Straight Edge Superstar took on Dominik Mysterio at the December 26 house show. He defeated The Judgment Day member with a GTS.

Punk didn’t appear at WWE Boston just one night after selling out The Garden. Fightful Select reported that The Second City Saint’s in-ring return at MSG “broke the company’s record for the highest-grossing domestic non-televised event of all time”.

WrestleTix noted that WWE distributed close to 16,000 tickets for their Holiday Live Tour at Madison Square Garden, adding that the company’s premium pricing strategy also factored into the record ticket sales for their December 26 house show.
