WWE officially announces a huge tag team match featuring Cesaro and former 3-time WWE Champion for Day 1

WWE officially took to Twitter to announce that Cesaro and Ricochet will be facing Sheamus and Ridge Holland at the Day 1 Kick-Off show on January 1.

WWE posted a graphic on Twitter to confirm the match announcement, using the following caption:

“BREAKING: @WWECesaro & @KingRicochet will join forces to battle @WWESheamus & @RidgeWWE on the #WWEDay1 Kickoff show this Saturday at 7pm ET/4pm PT."

Check out WWE’s tweet below:

The match between the two teams at Day 1 was confirmed after WWE continued to build on the heated feud between Ridge Holland and Sheamus against Cesaro and Ricochet. The four men have been going at it for weeks on SmackDown.

During the recent Christmas Gauntlet to determine the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship, Ricochet was distracted by Holland, while the former was busy with Sheamus.

Eventually, Cesaro made his way down to the ring as Ricochet got a surprise pin over The Celtic Warrior for the win. However, Ricochet was later eliminated by Sami Zayn, who was the eventual winner of the Christmas Gauntlet.

Since moving up to the main roster, Ridge Holland has mostly feuded with Cesaro. Holland has labeled Sheamus, a former tag team partner of Cesaro, as his idol since arriving on SmackDown.
