WWE Day 1: WWE still looking to host the PPV event despite the Omicron Outbreak
But why is WWE not willing to skip this threat for the PPV event? According to PW Insider, the actual reasons for going forward with their tour plans are that the company feels that those affected with the virus will have enough time to quarantine before the time comes for the Day 1 event, i.e. January 1, 2022.
