Punk is scheduled to face Dominik Mysterio at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 26 in his first match back in WWE. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, once the announcement was made last week, an additional 5,000 tickets were sold to the even. This is part of the 14,884 tickets out for the event. Punk last wrestled in WWE at the 2014 Royal Rumble.
