WWE Day 1 2022 – 5 takeaways from the show

4. Liv Morgan steps up against Becky Lynch at WWE Day 1

Coming into WWE Day 1, many fans were looking for Liv Morgan to pull off a huge upset by beating Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship. Despite a remarkable effort, Morgan came up short. Lynch reversed ObLIVion into the Manhandle Slam to defeat the challenger.

The matchup should benefit Liv Morgan in the long run. The former Riott Squad member has become a popular babyface with fans in her corner. A lot of credit goes to Becky for trying to make Liv a superstar. She has helped greatly, but it's up to the follow-up to get Morgan where she needs to be coming out of WWE Day 1.

3. Beth Phoenix's return at WWE Day 1 signals a mixed tag team match coming soon

One of the most memorable moments of WWE Day 1 had to be the return of Beth Phoenix to assist her husband Edge in his win over The Miz with Maryse in his corner. For much of the bout, Edge had to fight a two-on-one disadvantage, which led to the arrival of The Glamazon.

What this leads to seems rather self-explanatory. The two married couples are excellent characters and should produce a quality buildup to the anticipated mixed tag team match here. Although fans have seen Miz and Maryse as a pair in the past, this will mark the first time the two Hall of Famers in Edge and Phoenix will team with one another. It should be a huge WrestleMania 38 contest.
