They weren’t interested? There are all kinds of matches presented on a WWE event but some of them are more important than others.

Earlier this week, WWE presented its annual post Christmas live event in Madison Square Garden in New York City. One of the biggest matches on the card saw CM Punk wrestle his first WWE match in nearly ten years, defeating Dominik Mysterio. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer heard that “a surprising number of fans” left after Punk’s match and did not stay for Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Cody Rhodes or the main event of Seth Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre.

The arena has hosted some legendary shows. Check out some of WWE’s history in the Garden:

Opinion: That isn’t something I would have expected, as while Punk was arguably the biggest attraction on the card, there were some big names left to go as a result. If nothing else, it shows how big of a deal it was to have Punk return to a WWE ring. While it might be a little more difficult to find a way to keep that momentum going, WWE is doing well with it right now and they should keep it going as long as they can.

What do you think of the result? What is next for Punk in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
