Who else feels that WWE New Years Day PPV will be just another meaningless filler show before the Royal Rumble? Although, I am glad they are doing away with TLC, which I felt was an overdone gimmick ppv concept, I believe like Day 1 will be treated with the same level of storyline significance as Fastlane.
I don't see WWE blowing their load on the Brock Lesnar / Roman Reigns rematch they have been slowly building to since SummerSlam. I think that will be reserved for Royal Rumble. It seems more realistic that this show will get something like Roman Reigns vs. Jeff Hardy. Just like Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy is a high enough of a card guy that can fill a PPV title match slot. He can give a competitive match, be is ultimately there to eat a pinfall for Roman.
There will probably be another product placement gimmick match like the Pizza Hut battle royal or zombie lumberjack match. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE uses this show to promote another Netfilx movie tie-in.

Why even call it "Day 1" if you're not going some sort of massive shake-up/reboot/regime change?

You can probably remove the "Day 1" from the title and that probably sums up everybody's feelings in this company.

Yeah if even the big events end in with that filler vibe of like "that match didn't matter, but tune in for this next one!" I can't see this show having anything remotely important happen with the Rumble right after it.

Pretty sure that's the purpose of the PPV. Filler before the Rumble.

Apparently that's going to be the one they're putting more time and energy into instead of Survivor Series, so who knows. Sometimes the ones WWE WANTS to be good end up being the worst, so. *shrug*

They might as well put all the 24/7 title chasing lower card geeks into a multiman ladder match. Suspended high above the ring is a case of Diet Dew.

I expect one of the midcard titles to change hands and nothing else.
They really want people to believe they are putting effort into this when they have the royal rumble in the same month lol.

I think they may try and put some effort into it because they talked about making holiday ppvs a thing.
Well at least the first few times, they'll do less than half ass it soon.

At best, there will be an Owens/Rollins/Big E. three way, where Big E. goes over due to some miscommunication spot from Rollins and Owens. Maybe Becky faces Liv Morgan, then onto Bianca at the Royal Rumble. Liv will get her share of hope spots to pop the crowd but ultimately has zero chance at winning.

Honestly, at this point they seem to treat every PPV as filler between WrestleMania's.

Survivor Series used to be that, for Americans anyway. And now look at it. It’s original format would be perfect for modern day WWE. Meaningless filler matches used to further feuds, instead of whatever it is they do now. |

 I just considered the idea that "Day 1" may be the 1st day of a WWE without Vince McMahon🤔😮 Of course, this won't be the case, but it isn't a bad wildcard guess haha. |

It's going to be a filler-ass-filler PPV.

It's an awkward name and will probably be shameless filler.
At least the timing makes some amount of sense, unlike WWE having a show called "Stomping Ground" that wasn't in their stomping ground, which would presumably be either New York City or Connecticut, depending on how you want to look at it.

So basically this will most likely be regulated to the elephant graveyard of one shot PPV's like: Stomping Grounds, Great Balls of Fire and Fatal 4 Way.

I wish they would bring back New Year's Revolution from Puerto Rico or some other tropical location. That way we once again can get location shots in between matches of the job guys swimming.

WWE is going to book well and put on a compelling wrestling show that’s why it’s called Day 1. They are turning over a new leaf!
More chance of Omos winning Miss Teen America but you’ve got to believe.
