The last time WWE ran in Madison Square Garden, it was April 18, 2005 for a "Supershow" Raw broadcast and Smackdown taping. To say things were different then would be an understatement. Just a few of the reasons WWE's last event at MSG was memorable:
- Vince McMahon made his first WWE television appearance since being injured while walking to the ring at the Royal Rumble.
- Hulk Hogan made a surprise appearance to run off Muhammad Hassan, his first time in the Garden in two years.
- Raw was main evented by Triple H vs. Jim Ross. Seriously.
- Lita was serenaded with boos and "You screwed Matt" chants from the Garden fans.
- MNM won their first WWE Tag Team Championship.
- Sadly, this would mark Eddie Guerrero's last appearance in MSG.
