The December 26 show will mark CM Punk’s second straight year working in the WWE MSG show.

WrestleTix reports that 10,189 tickets have been distributed for this MSG edition.
Heading into WWE’s Holiday tour, Dr. Chris Featherstone on Twitter also revealed that fans in Chicago will get a special treat on December 29th which rolls down from the All-State Arena in Chicago, Illinois.
