The New Day (King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston) WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match The show featured Hip Hop trio celebrity guests Migos and bigged up of this rather decent card and even included the Reigns COVID developments, heck someone has been working fast tonight!Ģ. Match was fine but that early mishap took me out of it a little. So essentially this became a handicap match, and while plans were no doubt already in place, it is weird they still let Sheamus get the dominant win here and didn’t call an audible or at least have him cheat, and made his talented opponents look quite bad. I don’t want to say a curse but back in 2005 Eugene and Lita on the same show suffered injuries, in 2007 Triple H suffered a ruptured quadriceps tendon and now in 2022, here we go again, as early into this kick-off tag match an unfortunate accident saw Ricochet shatter Ridge Holland’s nose taking him out of the match early. There is really something about these New Year’s Events in WWE. Instead, Lesnar is being added to the monster WWE Title match making it a Fatal-5-Way main event. On the kick-off, Breaking news addressed, news that Universal Champion Roman Reigns has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be facing Brock Lesnar on the show. Anyway, here is what went down at WWE’s first event of 2022 bang on New Year’s Day! All I ask is that if you are calling something “premium” WWE, please let us not have a repeat of the wonky kind of quality we had in 2021 eh? Ta very much. That makes it sound like some sort of rich person’s stage show but whatever.
Wait? What was that? They are calling PPVs ‘Premium Live Events’ now, erm, ok then.
In a case of serious New Years Revolution deja-vu, WWE is back with a brand new New Years PPV.
