The 2025/2026 round of WWE Holiday Tour live events have been very successful for the company, with 2 shows breaking records.
The company broke from tradition even further over the 2025 festive season, as they did not hold a show on December 26 in Madison Square Garden in New York. Previously, fans have descended on The World’s Most Famous Arena annually on Boxing Day for what is generally seen as the biggest non-television event of the year. The move also follows previous strategy updates from TKO, who have said that house shows would be reduced due to lack of profitability. However, according to a recent report, some shows have been very lucrative.
As reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the December 26 show that took place in Baltimore, MD and the January 3 show that took place in Worcester, MA, were both the highest-grossing house shows in the respective cities’ history. Both shows were headlined by Cody Rhodes defending his WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre ahead of their 3 Stages of Hell match that is scheduled to take place on the January 9 SmackDown in Berlin, Germany.

- WWE United States Championship: Carmelo Hayes (c) def. The Miz

- AJ Styles & Dragon Lee def. New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston)

There will be a short gap between the house shows, as WWE is scheduled to embark on a European tour in January.
