WWE has announced its full slate of PPVs for 2022 and there's a lot to digest here. For starters, we're kicking off the year with Day 1, a new show that, somewhat appropriately, takes place on January 1. WrestleMania is once again a two-night event, while we're getting a lot more Saturday PPVs than Sunday ones (a major shift for the company that echoes AEW).
The Saudi Arabia shows aren't mentioned here, but that September PPV with the undetermined date will reportedly be taking place in the UK (according to Fightful Select).
SummerSlam, meanwhile, has moved from August to July and will now take place the same month as Money in the Bank. As with this year, it appears WWE has ditched the idea of a December PPV, no great loss considering the fact those are usually filler heading into the Royal Rumble.
Here's the full announcement from WWE:
