Its scheduling also caused the cancelation of the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event, which was usually held in late December. The event's title alludes to its New Year's scheduling and was WWE's first PPV to have the New Year's theme since New Year's Revolution in 2007. It took place on January 1, 2022, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and was the company's first PPV event to take place on New Year's Day. The event aired on pay-per-view (PPV) worldwide and was available to stream through Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network internationally. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
