It&#8217;s worth noting that Raw and Smackdown will be running in Chicago&#8217;s Allstate Arena on December 26-27, so perhaps some of the incentive is to sell more tickets for the second night of back-to-back shows.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1409690156\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Cena will return on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[97,35,173,1346,101],"class_list":["post-17340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-aj-styles","tag-dolph-ziggler","tag-john-cena","tag-smacdown-live","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
