# WWE Championship Fatal five-way Match
– At WWE Day 1, Big E must defend his WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens in an epic Fatal 5-Way Match.
Rollins announced on Raw that he would get his one-on-one opportunity – earned by winning a grueling Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match – at the inaugural event, hoping to ring in the new year with a title victory.
Kevin Owens threw an extra wrinkle in the mix after a Rollins disruption resulted in a disqualification victory for Owens over Big E. This made the matchup a Triple Threat showdown.
After returning with an attack on the original three competitors, Lashley overcame all three in separate singles matches to secure his spot in the title clash at WWE Day 1.
Then, when Universal Champion Roman Reigns was ruled out for the Jan. 1 pay-per-view, Brock Lesnar was added to the match to turn the contest into a colossal Fatal 5-Way Match.
So which Superstar will emerge with WWE’s most coveted prize to ring in 2022? Will Big E overcome the odds to retain his title? Will Owens capture the most prestigious title he has yet to win, or will Rollins or Lashley reclaim the shine of a WWE Champion? Or will The Beast reign supreme to lay claim to the WWE Title?

# Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan
– Big Time Becks has proven she’s willing to do whatever it takes to maintain her spot on top of the WWE mountain, and Liv Morgan continues to find out the hard way.
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has remained one step ahead of the competition since returning at SummerSlam. The Man shocked the WWE Universe with her return win over Bianca Belair at The Biggest Event of the Summer and eluded The EST of WWE’s quest to regain the title. Now Lynch has frustrated Morgan every step of the way, as the rising Superstar appeared poised for her breakthrough title win on the first Raw of December. Lynch was able to cling to the title and leave Morgan hoping for one more opportunity.
Lynch and Morgan came to blows in their ensuing encounter the following week, as the challenger unleashed on the champion with a furious attack. Big Time Becks responded with an unmatched brutality and smashed Morgan’s arm between the steel steps.
Morgan has proved she’s unwilling to back down from her title dreams, but how much strength can she muster in her battle?

# SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. The New Day
– Two of the most decorated tag teams in history will collide once again with WWE gold on the line as The New Day take on The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WWE Day 1.
The Usos are in the midst of their fifth SmackDown Tag Team Title reign, a mark surpassed only by The New Day who have held the titles seven times.
The Bloodline has had a fierce grip on the Tag Team Titles since defeating Rey & Dominik Mysterio at WWE Money in the Bank, crushing the competition and eliminating potential threats such as Kofi Kingston. Along with Roman Reigns, The Usos used their superior numbers to pummel King Woods and Kingston, forcing King Woods to watch as they battered the legs of Kingston.
Since that brutal attack, King Woods has stood alone against The Bloodline, attempting to pick them off one-by-one to no avail. With “The Hand of the King” now back by his side, the duo looks to hit The Usos where it hurts — by taking their tag team titles.
Will Jimmy and Jey remain “The Ones” or can The New Day deliver a huge blow to the dominant Bloodline?
Tune in as another chapter in the historic rivalry between The New Day and The Usos is written at WWE Day 1 on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022, streaming live at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT

# Edge vs. The Miz
– Edge’s return to Raw was a welcome sight for almost the entire WWE Universe, but The Rated-R Superstar had one notable detractor: The Miz.
Fresh off his appearance on “Dancing with the Stars,” The A-Lister came back to Raw on the same night as Edge. With his lovely wife Maryse by his side, Miz showered the WWE Hall of Famer with criticisms, wondering why his return got all of WWE’s promotion behind it while The Miz’s was left with nothing.
After a heated verbal exchange, Miz hosted Edge on the most must-see talk show in history, “Miz TV,” the following week, which saw the two rivals decide to settle their beef at WWE Day 1. The confrontation was capped off with a statement-making Skull-Crushing Finale by The Miz.
What will happen when two of the most decorated Superstars in WWE history square off on the first night of 2022?

# Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss
– Drew McIntyre will look to turn Madcap Moss’ grin upside down when the two Superstars square off at WWE Day 1.
The former WWE Champion wants a Universal Title Match, and the fact that he hasn’t gotten one is nothing to laugh at and Madcap Moss might be about to learn this lesson the hard way. For several weeks, Moss and his cohort Happy Corbin have been trying to make jokes at the expense of The Scottish Warrior. After reclaiming his stolen sword from the mischievous duo, McIntyre appeared on Talking Smack to accept the challenge Corbin laid out for his partner in crime Moss at WWE Day 1.
With a new year comes a new opportunity for McIntyre to finally end the hijinks, but will it be Moss and Corbin who have the first laugh of 2022?

# Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. The Street Profits
– The Street Profits want the smoke, and they will get just that from RK-Bro.
After prevailing over Rey & Dominik Mysterio in the finals of the prestigious RK-Bro-nament, Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford have earned the right to challenge Randy Orton & Riddle for the Raw Tag Team Championship on the first night of 2022. The Viper and The Original Bro defeated Otis and Chad Gable respectively in back-to-back singles matches on the same night the Profits won the tournament, so there is no telling which duo has more momentum heading into this blockbuster showdown for the titles.
So will it be ‘Tez and Dawks raising the Raw Tag Team Championship high, or will RK-Bro kick off the new year by retaining the gold?

# Cesaro & Ricochet vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland
– Cesaro and Ricochet will bring the thunder and lightning into tag team combat against the brutish duo from the United Kingdom, Sheamus and Ridge Holland, on the WWE Day 1 Kickoff show.
Tensions have been brewing between all of these competitors in recent weeks, as Holland picked up a huge one-on-one victory over The Swiss Cyborg with help from Sheamus two weeks ago on SmackDown. Things escalated further during the 12 Days of Christmas Gauntlet Match on Christmas Eve, when this time, Holland helped The Celtic Warrior earn a victory of his own over Cesaro. When Holland attempted to help Sheamus again in the next part of the gauntlet, this time against Ricochet, the plan was neutralized by Cesaro and The Celtic Warrior wound up eliminated from the matchup.
Ricochet ended up on the receiving end of a post-match Brogue Kick by Sheamus, which didn’t seem to slow him down until the final match of the gauntlet when he came up short against Sami Zayn. Now, he and Cesaro are out for some proper retribution against the powerful tandem from the U.K.
Which team will emerge victorious?
