WWE Day 1 will kick off with tag team action in Atlanta.
On Thursday, WWE announced Cesaro & Ricochet vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland would be featured as a match on the WWE Day 1 Kickoff Show.
Cesaro and Ricochet will bring the thunder and lightning into tag team combat against the brutish duo from the United Kingdom, Sheamus and Ridge Holland, on the WWE Day 1 Kickoff show.
Tensions have been brewing between all of these competitors in recent weeks, as Holland picked up a huge one-on-one victory over The Swiss Cyborg with help from Sheamus two weeks ago on SmackDown. Things escalated further during the 12 Days of Christmas Gauntlet Match on Christmas Eve, when this time, Holland helped The Celtic Warrior earn a victory of his own over Cesaro. When Holland attempted to help Sheamus again in the next part of the gauntlet, this time against Ricochet, the plan was neutralized by Cesaro and The Celtic Warrior wound up eliminated from the matchup.
Ricochet ended up on the receiving end of a post-match Brogue Kick by Sheamus, which didn’t seem to slow him down until the final match of the gauntlet when he came up short against Sami Zayn. Now, he and Cesaro are out for some proper retribution against the powerful tandem from the U.K.
Which team will emerge victorious?
Find out on WWE Day 1 Kickoff on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022, streaming live at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT on Peacock, WWE Network, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Twitch.
