• WWE Set A New Record At MSG With Super SmackDown
This Friday’s episode of Super SmackDown at Madison Square Garden set an all-time WWE record, as WWE made the most money from ticket sales for any episode of SmackDown ever.
This show featured a confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, Edge in action, Becky Lynch – Bianca Belair contract signing, The Usos defending their Titles & more.
Also, John Cena came back for his final match in his current WWE run, after the show went off the air.
Cena’s appearance was advertised for this show for a while, which obviously helped with the ticket sales.
