During the latest episode of WWE RAW, a leading title match was announced specifically for the viewers in the Chicago area.
The announcement highlighted a Steel Cage Match, with the current World Heavyweight Championship holder, GUNTHER, expected to face off against CM Punk. This match is a significant attraction for this week’s WWE Live Holiday Tour taking place at the Allstate Arena in the Windy City, Illinois.
In the past, the Allstate Arena has publicized a Steel Cage Match pitting Bronson Reed against Seth Rollins, with GUNTHER defending his World Heavyweight Championship title against Damian Priest. Interestingly, the contest between Reed and Rollins still features on the venue’s website, despite Reed’s recent sidelining due to an injury sustained at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 last month.
The Chicago native, Punk, has also been advertised to take part in the event. It’s important to underscore that the lineup is noted as “subject to change.”
The WWE Live Holiday Tour event is planned to take place at the Allstate Arena on Sunday, December 29. The tour commences on Thursday, December 26, hosting live events in Jacksonville, Florida and Madison Square Garden in New York City.
A tweet post conveyed the excitement: “SUNDAY IN CHICAGO AT A WWE LIVE EVENT. WE ARE GETTING GUNTHER VS CM PUNK IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨#WWERAW,” posted by @FadeAwayMedia on December 24, 2024.
Another tweet by Dr. Chris Featherstone confirmed: “The CM Punk vs. Gunther cage match on 12/29 that I reported over a week ago is being advertised during #WWERaw in the Chicago market. It’s official. 🪶💣,” Chris posted on December 24, 2024.
