Celebrities such as Bill Simmons, Gabriel Iglesias, Ashton Kutcher, and Seth Green were in attendance, but it was Macaulay Culkin who captured the night’s most electrifying moment.

Seated beside Seth Green, Culkin made a surprise reveal that sent the audience into a frenzy. The camera zoomed in as he slowly lifted his low-hanging hat to unveil his identity, prompting thunderous cheers from the crowd. Announcer Michael Cole quipped, “He’s not home alone tonight,” while Pat McAfee humorously added, “Kate McCallister is the worst mom of all time.”
The crowd’s reaction quickly went viral, with social media users sharing clips and celebrating the unexpected pop culture moment. “The POP for Macaulay Culkin,” one fan tweeted, encapsulating the enthusiasm of the live audience.
Culkin’s surprise appearance added to a memorable week for the Culkin family, with his brother Kieran winning Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes the night before.
The Netflix debut of Monday Night Raw showcased not just WWE’s energy but its ability to intersect with pop culture, making it a standout moment for wrestling and entertainment fans alike.
