According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE concluded 2025 with its strongest series of house shows of the year, delivering impressive performances in various U.S. markets following Christmas. Meltzer noted that internal estimates indicated this week was a clear demonstration of WWE's enduring appeal for live events, even without television tapings or premium live events scheduled.
The tour began on December 26 in Baltimore, where WWE attracted 9,155 fans, which Meltzer described as a “strong outing.” The momentum continued into December 27 when WWE held two shows on the same night: Tampa drew 7,442 fans, while Pittsburgh slightly outperformed it with 8,659 attendees.
On December 28, WWE continued its events with stops in Jacksonville and Rochester. Jacksonville attracted 6,040 fans, whereas Rochester brought in 4,183 attendees. The series concluded on December 30 with shows in Detroit and Estero. Detroit recorded an attendance of 6,683, which WWE considered “not a good crowd” for that market, while Estero drew 4,985 fans, a turnout that Meltzer labeled as “a very good crowd for that market.”
Meltzer emphasized that this week demonstrated how the holiday season remains one of the company's most reliable periods for live attendance, even in between major televised events like RAW and SmackDown.
