WWE Day One 2022

This is the first-ever Day 1 and Brock is added to the WWE Title match with Roman testing positive for COVID-19. JBL just stares at Rosenberg like he's an idiot - which may be the best part of the show by the end of the night. Nice hype video to start the show off with it being DAY ONE and the Usos start off Day One-ish! Okay-ish SD mid-card match is called an INSTANT CLASSIC by McAfee. Nothing terrible, but very little exciting. Steveson marks out at 2 off a Demo double stomp. Double Uso dive gets 2.9 with a Woods save! 3D ends it with the Usos winning and it's now the 1D - One and Done.

Big E looks forward to the challenge and Migos are here. We get some horrible comedy before Drew comes out as THE SMACKDOWN WARRIOR - but has no stone at least. Pat complains about trending due to people on his show before Drew chops the shit out of Moss. Moss is just a lump in there and Drew is throwing himself into position for spots. Claymore ends it. KO promo and he says BROCK TOOK OUT HIS SOULMATE SAMI ZAYN! I love that - it adds a bit of importance to events of the shows. 

Raw tag title match is up and Migos are out with RK-Bro and not the Profits - although I guess for weed, that makes sense. MASSIVE leap over the buckle by Ford and a pop-up assisted RKO with Riddle ends it. WHY DO BOTH SETS OF TAG CHAMPS HAVE A MODIFIED 3D FINISH!? Drew chats backstage about Corbin for a match later. Jesus! YAY BRAWLING! Chair to the neck with a big metal thing.

Miz vs. Edge is up and Miz is in Ryder-esque gear thanks to his wedding. Lots of nothing. LEG HOLD. Nothing. Crossbody is caught by Miz! FIGURE FOUR. Mizcardona in full effect here. Figure four is reversed and he goes for a cheap win with the ropes. UT UH! Jessie Carr is annoying. Crossface by Edge and Maryse puts Miz's foot on the rope. Miz went up top for nothing because he never flies before getting hiptossed off the top by Edge. Maryse hits him with a purse and the Finale gets 2 before Beth is out...before her theme to stop Maryse. Spear ends it.

Bert chats with Lashley and MVP about Lashley's chances being reduced by Brock being in. Liv-Becky video makes Liv look so boring without letting her emote during it. Her intro really lets her shine though. Rings of Saturn by Liv. Uppercut and kick combo in the rope leads to the draping legdrop for 2 for Becky. Becky gets kicked into the buckle for 2. Cross armbar by Becky and a disarmher with the ropes. Atomic facebuster gets 2 for Becky. Dropkick off the top from Liv sends Becky to the floor. Liv stomps the arm in the steps ala Raw!  Oblivion countered INTO THE MANHANDLE SLAM FOR THE CLEAN WIN.  Becky was going for the rope, but was too far away. Yeesh.

SUPLEX CITY by Brock, but E lariats him to the floor and Brock bumps hard for it. Spear through the barricade by Lashley to Brock. Suicide dive by Seth to Brock before a KO frog splash. E chokeslam through the announce table. Pop-up powerbomb gets 2 for E. Stomp to E but Brock F5s him! F5 to E and KO! Lashley spear gets 2! God, Lashley vs. Brock is so much more exciting than anything else they're doing. F5 to E ENDS IT! NEW CHAMP! Wow! Super-fun match there! E's reign is thankfully over, and Brock can do whatever and at least feels like THE GUY.
