10 Secrets You Only Learn Attending WWE House Shows
4. Title Changes Still Feel Special
In July 2017, AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens at a Madison Square Garden house show because it was high time WWE actually delivered something fitting for 'The World's Most Famous Arena'.
There hasn't been much of note emerging from WWE's traditional home base since migrating most of their New York market television and pay-per-view action to Brooklyn's beautiful Barclays Center, but the relatively unimportant switch was as much about driving fans to other arenas as it was ensuring the MSG faithful came back the next time.
For all the disbelief one can suspend, few in the crowd save for the giddy youngest in attendance buy into the prospect of a belt changing hands. The shock and awe at the result becomes worth the price of a ticket alone, and is likely to keep people on the hook for the next one.
