WWE Day 1: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Cesaro & Ricochet Vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland

Things are not looking up for Cesaro and Ricochet.

The babyface pair effectively lost a handicap match during the Day 1 Kickoff show. Sure, Ridge Holland's injury and removal from the match couldn't be helped, but an audible should've been called to protect Cesaro and Rico. They looked like chumps for losing to Sheamus despite the numbers advantage, and really should've won.

It must be hard for workers to get amped up when they know they're on the pre-show too. That's probably why this, in spite of the quality involved, was barely functional and came out looking more like something from Main Event than a pay-per-view bonus.

Getting excited about matches like this is harder as a fan when WWE themselves seem totally uninterested in the talents on screen. Cesaro's 2021 heights have plummeted to sinking depths, and Ricochet's recent flurry has been yet another false dawn.

Nobody will remember this even happened come Monday morning.
