Something clearly needs to be done to help pull WWE out of the rut it's in. NXT 2.0 has been far from a resounding success, while poor booking decisions continue to plague RAW and SmackDown (as do declining ticket sales and ratings). Tonight's Day 1 PPV may have been billed as a fresh start, but thanks to Vince McMahon, it doesn't sound like it will ultimately be that different.
Rumour has it WWE President Nick Khan is behind the show, with the hope it could become a tentpole event on the same level as WrestleMania and SummerSlam. However, pitches to shake up the PPV's presentation were seemingly shot down, likely meaning we're in store for more of the same.
We're hoping for a great show regardless, and you can check out the full Day 1 card below:
