WWE Day 1 kick-off match and potential winners revealed

Bengaluru, Dec 31: WWE Day 1 is barely 48 hours away which should kick-start things for the biggest professional wrestling company in a big way if not the COVID-19 pandemic causes any hindrance.

Full card for the night has already been announced over the past few weeks while WWE has now added a kick-off pre-show match to the PPV. In a tag team action, Sheamus and Ridge Holland will team up to take on Cesaro and Ricochet.

This marks the continuation of the ongoing feud between Cesaro and the UK native duo in Sheamus and Ridge Holland. For weeks now, the two heel superstars have been distracting the Swiss Superman in his scheduled matches and it’s time for him to get payback with a high-flying superstar in his corner.



The inaugural WWE Day 1 pay-per-view takes place, tomorrow night at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The updated card for the night goes as follows,

WWE Universal Title Match

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns (c)

Fatal 4 Way for the WWE Title

Bobby Lashley vs. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens vs. Big E (c)

RAW Women’s Title Match

Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch (c)

WWE Intercontinental Title Match

Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (c)

SmackDown Tag Team Titles Match

The New Day vs. The Usos (c)

RAW Tag Team Titles Match

The Street Profits vs. Randy Orton and Riddle (c)

WWE Hall of Famer Edge vs. The Miz

Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss

Kickoff Pre-show

Ricochet and Cesaro vs. Sheamus and Ridge Holland

Betting odds for the top five matches from WWE Day 1 have been released, courtesy of BetOnline indicating that no title change is expected on this first-ever PPV event.

Big E is scheduled to defend his WWE Championship in a Fatal Four-Way. The Power of Positivity is the favourite to retain at -165 odds while Rollins carries the second-highest odds at +240. Bobby Lashley has the second-lowest odds at +350 as Owens is most likely to digest the pinfall loss at +500.

In the main event of the night, Roman Reigns (-250) is the obvious favourite to keep the belt around his shoulder. Possibly Paul Heyman will play a key role in the outcome of the match which should set up another rematch between Lesnar and Reigns at Wrestlemania 38.



In a major attraction from the card, WWE Hall of Famer Edge (-700) is a long-shot favourite against The Miz (+400). Possibly, a return by another WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix will help out the Rated-R Superstar in upstaging the Hollywood A-lister.

In other revealed odds, Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Smackdown tag team champions The Usos are predictably favourite to keep their strong title reign ongoing.

At a glance, the full betting odds released by the source for WWE Day 1 matches stand as follows, (The favorites to win are listed as – while the underdogs are listed with +)

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns -250 vs. Brock Lesnar +170

WWE Champion Big E -165 vs. Seth Rollins +250 vs. Kevin Owens +500 vs. Bobby Lashley +350 – Fatal 4 Match
