The latest reports in Fightful have suggested that the first of the company's Big Four annual pay-per-views might get moved to February owing to the NFL season. However, nothing has been confirmed as of this writing.

So far, WWE has advertised Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Drew McIntyre, Sasha Banks, and other top superstars for the “Day 1” pay-per-view.
