The show featured superstars like Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Gunther, and Roman Reigns.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent edition of <em>Legion of RAW <\/em>on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Vince Russo said WWE wasted a huge opportunity with their latest Monday Night show from Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is Madison Square Garden. This is the Mecca. You guys have to understand something. Before many of you were even born, when I started watching the WWWF once a month, every Monday night was a live show from Madison Square Garden. Once a month on a Monday night, (the card was) stacked, stacked, bro. Every match, every month, was a main event stacked.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\">\n<p>Cody has no chance against John Cena?

And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m remembering. Those first shows that drew me to freaking wrestling at the Garden with Howard Finkel in the middle of the ring. And the microphone would drop down and right before the main event, Finkel would give you next month&#8217;s card at the Garden, top to bottom, star-studded shows. And then we get this. We get this at Madison Square Garden.&#8221; [From 08:53 onwards]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"After Roman Reigns, Vince McMahon could return to form a faction?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YwGkLAxw5-w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/youtube\" data-embed=\"YwGkLAxw5-w\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/62322-17416753424124-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/62322-17416753424124-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Russo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/news-roman-reigns-returning-enough-huge-shots-fired-veteran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">tweeted <\/a>during the show that a Roman Reigns appearance wouldn&#8217;t help the show.
