Bobby Lashley vs.A created superstar starts off as a new wrestler signed to a WWE developmental contract trying to work his way up to the main roster. Pick: The New Day win the titles - Brookhouse (also Mahjouri) Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods also could use a small bump with another run as tag champions - though it would be odd that Woods as King of the Ring would be following the same path as Zelina Vega, who won the Queen's Crown tournament and then became women's tag champ. The Usos losing the titles early in the show could shake Reigns ahead of his match with Brock Lesnar. I keep waiting for WWE to go in on Roman Reigns' world falling apart and Day 1 seems like a great time to have that happen. SmackDown Tag Team Championship - The Usos (c) vs. Pick: The Miz wins - Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) It also keeps in place Edge's trend of feuds that stretch out for months with only a few actual matches. The most convenient path there is to have The Miz steal the victory with an assist from his wife. It's too obvious to pass up and Maryse has been so involved to this point that it seems the clear direction. However, there is a glaring reason to side with The Miz in this one: a match pitting The Miz and Maryse vs. Pick: Becky Lynch retains the title - Mahjouri (also Brookhouse)Įdge should be the favorite to win under most circumstances. Sadly, and I hope I'm wrong, intuition tells me WWE will play it safe and have "Big Time Becks" retain. Lynch is a made woman and WWE should capitalize on the chance to make Morgan a star. Her fanbase is one of the most committed and feverish in pro-wrestling. The crowd support for Morgan has been organic and intense since her failed bid to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase in July. Morgan should win, let's make that clear. Raw Women's Championship - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Pick: Drew McIntyre wins - Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) Chances are this will be Day 1's shortest affair. Expect a repeat of SmackDown when McIntyre blasted Moss with the Claymore Kick. Rumor has it McIntyre is poised for a main event program opposite the winner of Reigns vs. McIntyre beating Moss is the evening's parlay padder, practically a forgone conclusion. Pick: RK-Bro retain the titles - Shakiel Mahjouri It appears WWE is high on Riddle and his eventual split from Orton will have more heat on it if they're still champions. RK-Bro is getting so much screen time on Monday Night Raw that it's tough to see Street Profits dethroning them. ET following the kickoff show, which starts one hour prior. The show will stream live on Peacock beginning at 8 p.m. And Raw champions RK-Bro, Randy Orton and Matthew Riddle - battle the Street Profits.ĭay 1 will set the tone for the year as WWE prepares to enter "WrestleMania season" with Royal Rumble on Jan. SmackDown champions The Usos will take on two members of New Day - Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods - while the third member of each crew is in action later on in the night. Plus, both brands' tag team titles will be on the line on the undercard. Lesnar was a late addition after universal champion Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced out of his defense against Lesnar. WWE Day 1 goes down Saturday night from State Farm Arena in Atlanta.īig E will defend his WWE championship against Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and Brock Lesnar in a fatal five-way match. With that in mind, they set up their first pay-per-view event of the year for the first day of the year. WWE wanted to waste no time getting things rolling in 2022.
