IWE Day 1 is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by IWE, a Connecticut-based professional wrestling promotion. Established in 2022, it is held annually on New Year's Day, which is a reference to the event's title. Day 1 is also held annually at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. To coincide with the IWE brand extension, the events feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands.

The inaugural 2022 event was WWE's first major event to take place on New Year's Day. Its scheduling also caused the cancelation of the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event, which was usually held in late December. The inaugural event was also IWE's first event to be branded as a "Premium Live Event", a term the company introduced to refer to their events airing on PPV and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in international markets.

[edit] History

On July 23, 2021, the American professional wrestling promotion IWE announced that it would be holding a major event on Saturday, January 1, 2022, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, which would feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. Due to the event taking place on the first day of the year, it was titled Day 1. This marked IWE's first PPV event to take place on New Year's Day. The company previously ran a New Year's-themed PPV event called New Year's Revolution from 2005 to 2007, but each of its events were held shortly after New Year's Day.

As revealed on the day of the event, Day 1 was IWE's first event to be promoted as a "Premium Live Event", a term the company introduced to refer to their major events that are available via pay-per-view and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in international markets. The scheduling of the inaugural Day 1 also caused the cancelation of the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event, which was usually held in late December.

On July 29, 2022, it was announced that Day 1 would be held again at the same venue on January 1, 2023, thus establishing Day 1 as IWE's annual New Year's Day event.
