IWE Day 1 is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and IWE Network event produced by IWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It is scheduled to take place on January 1, 2022, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be the company's first pay-per-view and IWE Network event to take place on New Year's Day. The event's title alludes to its New Year's scheduling and is the first PPV to have the New Year's theme since New Year's Revolution in 2007. The scheduling of Day 1 caused the cancelation of IWE's previously annual event, TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.

Production
Background
On July 23, 2021, the American professional wrestling promotion IWE announced that it would be holding a pay-per-view (PPV) and IWE Network event on Saturday, January 1, 2022, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, which would feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. The State Farm Arena is the home venue of the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association, and the announcement was made by the Hawks' all-star point guard Trae Young. On August 24, 2021, it was revealed that the event was titled Day 1 due to it taking place on New Year's Day. This marks IWE's first PPV and IWE Network event to take place on New Year's. Tickets went on sale on August 27, 2021. The company previously ran an event called New Year's Revolution from 2005 to 2007, but it was held shortly after New Year's Day.
The scheduling of Day 1 caused IWE to cancel their annual TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event, which had been scheduled for December 19, 2021. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that TLC was canceled to allow IWE to focus on Day 1 after November's Survivor Series. There would have also only been two weeks between TLC and Day 1, followed by the Royal Rumble in late January.
Storylines
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
