WWE will return to the famous Madison Square Garden arena for a special episode of Smackdown, this summer. Things will be changed up for this special occasion with a new stage set which should amp things up for the return of the WWE to the most prestigious professional wrestling venue of all time.
In an update from WrestleTix, WWE will be utilizing a minimal stage setup for the return to Madison Square Garden, a trend they have adopted for larger TV and pay-per-view events held in arenas. This approach was also employed during this past Wrestlemania XL episode of Monday Night Raw at the Wells Fargo Center.
WWE’s last TV taping at the Madison Square Garden took place last July, drawing over 13,500 fans in attendance. The event made history by achieving the biggest live gate for an event at Madison Square Garden ever. It also was the final WWE show at MSG under the ownership of the McMahon family.
