Usos’ loss of the title early in the show could shake Reigns ahead of his game against Brock Lesnar. I continue to wait for WWE to enter the world of the crumbling Roman Reigns and Day 1 seems like a great time for that to happen.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship – The Usos (c) vs. Pick: Miz wins – Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) It also maintains Edge’s months-long hostility with just a few actual matches. The most favorable route is for The Miz to snatch the victory thanks to an assist from his wife. It was too obvious to give up and Maryse was involved at this point so it seemed the obvious direction. However, there’s one obvious reason to side with The Miz in this matchup: The Miz and Maryse’s duel against Edge and Beth Phoenix. Pick: Becky Lynch retains the title – Mahjouri (also Brookhouse)Įdge should be the winner in most cases. Sadly, and I hope I’m wrong, my intuition tells me that WWE will play it safe and let “Big Time Becks” keep it. Lynch is the perfect woman and WWE should take advantage of the opportunity to make Morgan a star. Crowd support for Morgan has been organic and intense since her failed bid to secure the Money in the Bank briefcase in July. Women’s Raw Championship – Becky Lynch (c) vs Liv Morgan Pick: Drew McIntyre wins – Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) Chances are this will be the shortest first Date love affair. Expect a repeat of SmackDown as McIntyre destroys Moss with a Claymore Kick. Rumor has it that McIntyre is getting ready for a main event program opposite the winner of Reigns vs. McIntyre beat Moss as the parlay of the evening, a conclusion that can’t be ignored, in fact. Pick: RK-Bro retains titles – Shakiel Mahjouri It seems like WWE is appreciating Riddle and his separation from Orton will eventually have more heat if they remain champions.
RK-Bro is getting so much screentime on Raw on Monday night that it’s hard to see Street Profits take them down. Pick: Street Profits Win the Title – Brent Brookhouse Losing the title here would allow RK-Bro to have the first hints of a split and could easily be followed at the Royal Rumble with Orton removing Riddle (or vice versa) to build into a match. With WrestleMania approaching, the biggest show of the year could be where we see it all come together. Riddle and Randy Orton will split up at some point and have a signature big feud. While RK-Bro was already a very successful act, WWE wanted to do nothing more than break up the tag teams. Raw Tag Team Championship – RK-Bro (c) vs. Lesnar will now compete in the WWE Championship match, making it a deadly five-way match. Note: The previously scheduled Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar was canceled after Reigns tested positive for COVID-19. Let’s take a closer look at who our CBS Sports experts predict will come out on top at WWE Day 1. ET after the kickoff, started an hour earlier. The show will go live on Peacock starting at 8 p.m. And Raw champions RK-Bro, Randy Orton and Matthew Riddle – fight the Street Profits.ĭay 1 will set the tone for the year as WWE prepares to enter the “WrestleMania season” with Royal Rumble on January 29. SmackDown Champion The Usos will take on two members of New Day – Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods – while a third member of each crew will be active later in the night. Lesnar was a late addition after universal champion Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to leave defensive duty against Lesnar.Īdditionally, both brands’ tag group headings will be in the line above the lower tag. WWE Day 1 takes place Saturday night from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.īig E will defend its WWE championship against Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and Brock Lesnar in a deadly 5-way match. With that in mind, they held the first pay-per-view event of the year on the first day of the year. WWE didn’t want to waste time getting things started in 2022.
