WWE Day 1 - Best and Worst- 2 legitimate injuries, Brock Lesnar's next opponent?

WWE Day 1 was a very different show from the one we expected, coming into the pay-per-view. It's crazy indeed when the main event, the main hook of the show has to be changed owing to circumstances beyond WWE's control.

Thankfully, WWE Day 1, all things considered, wasn't an absolute dud. The matches were fine and if anything, the overall event may have seemed a little underwhelming. What do you expect when the biggest star in the roster, Roman Reigns, has to sit out of the show?

There was an equal measure of both good and bad at WWE Day 1. Would you say that the pendulum swung towards the 'best' side or the 'worst' this weekend?

Please mention your valuable comments about the pay-per-view below. Did you think WWE Day 1 was a good way to kick off your new year? Wish you all a very happy 2022.

#3 Best/Worst: The first match at WWE Day 1 was a banger, but...

The best match at WWE Day 1 was probably the swashbuckling opening clash, the one between The New Day and The Usos. And yet, because we have seen it so many times already, there wasn't an element of freshness to the clash. This is a shame because both of the teams gave it their all and put their heart and soul on the line.

One of the biggest issues that the SmackDown Tag Team division will face following WWE Day 1 is the problem of depth. Now that The Usos have defeated The New Day, is there a believable team in the roster that can potentially dethrone them?

Can you imagine Jinder Mahal and Shanky or The Viking Raiders potentially defeating such an unstoppable team? But then again, is a rematch really a better option either?

#2 Best: Liv Morgan fails again, but what a clash it was

If WWE Day 1 produced a breakout star, it would have to be Liv Morgan. The crowd was already behind her as she went up against Becky Lynch and had one of the better matches of her career. Morgan has a great look and she is incredible in the ring too. Do not be surprised if, after losing twice, she wins the Royal Rumble and challenges Becky Lynch at WrestleMania.

#2 Worst: WWE Day 1 sees two wrestlers written off

There was a legitimate injury on the WWE Day 1 kickoff show, where Ridge Holland suffered Ricochet's knee landing in the wrong manner. Drew McIntyre, who has been dealing with a bunch of injuries already, was also written off after an assault from Corbin and Moss.

Considering how depleted the roster already is, these two injuries are a major hurdle in the company's road to WrestleMania. Hey, Sheamus got a big win in the Kickoff match, so maybe he'll get a massive push going forward.

#1 Best: The WWE Day 1 main event

Even if the rest of WWE Day 1 felt like a random episode of RAW or SmackDown, one cannot dispute that the main-event match felt big-time. Brock Lesnar winning may have alienated a section of the internet, but the other half is ecstatic. And the fact that there was an interplay between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar bodes well for the future. What we saw at WWE Day 1 may have been the appetizer before we're served the main course.

#1 Worst: Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss

Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss had to be the least-anticipated match at WWE Day 1. There are some matches in which the outcome is obvious, but there's still an outside chance that the underdog will win.

Case in point, Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan or RK-Bro vs. The Street Profits. Nobody in the WWE Day 1 audience or the viewers at home had any doubts about how the McIntyre vs. Moss match would pan out.

This match was a waste of everyone's time.
