** Kickoff Show **

Your host is Renee Young and she is accompanied by Booker T, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton.

We go to Tom Phillips in the Social Media Lounge and he mentions that Stephen Amell and Neville will be his guest later on the Kickoff Show.

Tom mentions the fan art that the WWE has received for the Amell and Neville versus Stardust and Barrett match.

Tom also mentions that Jon Stewart is the ‘host’ of SummerSlam.

Corey says he hopes that Jon will teach him a Moment of Zen because of the time that he has been around Byron. Byron talks about getting a selfie with Jon later tonight and Booker calls Byron and Corey a couple of ‘groupies’.

Renee wonders if Seth will get involved with Jon, but Corey brings up that Seth does have a busy night tonight.

We take a look at a video for the Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper versus Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns starting with footage from Battleground.

Renee asks why did Harper reunite with Wyatt.

Byron says that Luke has said that he is nothing without Bray and that is the honor that Luke has for Bray. Booker says the analogy is stupid. He says that blood is thicker than water. They might not be real brothers, but they have a bond. Together they are more powerful than apart. Renee brings up the alliance between Reigns and Ambrose. Corey says that Luke is a blind follower of Bray’s while Roman and Dean have the same goals. Will Bray show the same devotion to Luke that Luke will for Bray.

Renee asks about Dean in the match. Booker says that he is a loose cannon and can pop at any second.

Byron says that Dean and Roman have the advantage. Corey says that Dean and Roman will win as well. Booker is going with the craziest team but he does not say which one.

John Cena and Jon Stewart are in the back and Jon suggests that maybe Cena should kick Seth in the groin. John reminds Jon that he beat Seth recently. Jon has John sign something for his son.

Cena walks away and Jon tells his son it is going on eBay since he is retired and daddy needs money.

We have a video package for the John Cena versus Seth Rollins match where one man will walk out with two titles.

Renee reminds us that one of these men will have the WWE and US titles. Booker is asked about the pressure about being a sixteen time champion. Booker says that the titles have not been unified since 2001. Booker says he brought both the titles into the WWE. It was the pinnacle of his career. Booker says Cena is trying to cement his legacy.

Corey says that Seth Rollins deserves to be treated like a champion. It is coming off like it is a foregone conclusion that Cena will win. Seth is doing this for Triple H. Triple H picked Seth Rollins to be the future.

Byron agrees with Corey and he says that Seth is trying to please Hunter and Stephanie and pay them back for being made the future. You do something no one has done and bring the titles together.

Booker says it is about what have you done for me lately. He has not proven he can win on his own. Cena has been the guy for a decade.

Renee brings up Cena’s nose and wonders if it will be a factor in the match.

Byron says he thinks Cena will be ready and it won’t be an issue.

We take a look at what the WWE has done around New York this week.

It is time to talk about the Cesaro and Kevin Owens match and we have a video package.

Renee asks why they don’t have respect.

Corey says that Kevin Owens does not show respect to people and it works for him. Renee asks Byron if Owens has done more in three months than Cesaro in three years. Byron ducks the question and he talks about how Cesaro is stealing Owens’ spotlight. He says that Owens is jealous of Cesaro. Booker says you have to be able to step on people’s toes. Booker says he would steal the show and tell people to top that. That is what Owens does.

Renee brings up Kevin Owens’ match at Takeover against Finn Balor and then he asks if the match will have an effect on tonight. Booker says the business is about being battered and bruised. He knows about the business. Will Owens win? That is a stretch. Byron mentions that multiple ladders were used during the match. We see footage of Owens being helped to the back after the match. Booker says that is what we do. We fight every night.

Renee asks Corey who will win and he says that even if Cesaro is his friend, he thinks Owens needs this and he will win. Byron wonders what condition is in and he does not think a battered Owens can beat a healthy Cesaro.

Kevin Owens decides to stop by the table and find out what Booker was saying about him being jealous of Cesaro. Owens says Cesaro is jealous of him. He is the opposite of Cesaro physically but he is here. Kevin asks Byron if he has any Cesaro section signs.

Kevin says he is going to turn the Cesaro Section into the Silent Section. After he beats Cesaro, they won’t be making too much noise.

Kevin walks away and Renee sheepishly talks about the Divas Trios Elimination Match.

Renee says the Divas Revolution has changed the landscape.

Byron first mentions that he got another drink since Kevin took his.

Corey says it is essential for the Divas Revolution to happen and it started in NXT. Becky, Charlotte, and Sasha are changing the game. Everyone is seeing this.

Renee asks who will end up on top. Booker says PCB because they have an edge to them. Booker says the roster is young and the young people like seeing other young people. Byron likes B.A.D. because of their attitudes. They are frustrated and they have the ability to change the balance of power. Corey mentions that the Bellas have stepped up their game because the bar is being raised.

It is time to talk about the Tag Title match.

Renee mentions that she talked to the New Day and they weren’t happy about this being a Fatal Four Way. Byron says the New Day feel they should be the only tag team.

Corey says he thinks that match could steal the show.

Booker says no one has an advantage in this match and the Lucha Dragons could win.

Byron says that Titus said they have the biggest chips on their shoulders. They hear people saying that they should not be champions. They have a lot to prove.

Renee asks for the picks. Corey likes the Lucha Dragons. Byron says the Prime Time Players will win. Booker is going with the New Day.

It is now time to take a look at the Intercontinental Title Match with Ryback defending the title against Miz and Big Show.

Byron brings up that Ryback isn’t 100 percent and his knee is still not at 100 percent. He wants to elevate the legacy of the Intercontinental Title. Booker says it was a mistake to come back and face an angry giant. Booker says Ryback could wake up in the hospital. Corey points out that Miz is at 100 percent. He performs well in these situations. Miz could walk out as the champion.

Renee mentions the match between Randy Orton and Sheamus.

Rich Brennan is with Sheamus and Sheamus interrupts and says the only thing that truly matters in the WWE is the briefcase. To some folk, this is an ordinary briefcase with a contract inside. This is the WWE World Championship. Two weeks ago, he was this close to cashing in and becoming the WWE Champion. Randy Orton came in and took away his dream. He is going to hit Orton with Brogue Kick after Brogue Kick until the fangs are knocked out and you cannot recognize his face.

Then with Randy out of the picture, he can cash this contract in whenever he wants. He says it is what it is.

Corey says he does not want to be Randy Orton after seeing Sheamus so fired up. Byron says this will be a bruising, physical fight. Booker says Sheamus is a hooligan.

JoJo is with Stephanie McMahon and JoJo asks her about the Divas Match. Stephanie says this match will define who the dominant team is in the Divas Division. Stephanie says she introduced Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte and they have dominated. Stephanie mentions all of the women in sports and business who are dominating. Stephanie mentions Ronda Rousey, Serena Williams. She mentions the two women who graduated in the Army Rangers.

JoJo asks for a prediction. Stephanie says she is looking forward to see who wins because to the victor goes the spoils.

Renee says everything in the Divas Revolution is doing so much for the women who watch this.

We go to the Social Media Loung where Stephen Amell and Neville are with Tom Phillips.

Tom goes to the questions and the first question is about their strategy. Neville says there are a few strategies. They have to avoid the BullHammer. He says Stardust is hard to predict. They will need to be aware of all possibilities. Stephen says he needs to be worried about getting used to the ring.

Neville is asked about the biggest hurdle he had to deal with to get to the WWE. He says that the biggest one was his size. WWE is the land of the giants and he does not necessarily fit in. He has to wrestle in a way that makes up for any deficiencies.

Neville is asked if he will be on Arrow. Stephen says he does not deal with casting. They say never say never.

The final question is if Stephen is nervous. He says this is not a house show on the east coast of Canada. This is the second biggest pay per view of the year. He picked an interesting spot to debut. He is nervous, but he is nervous for big events. He has been that way his entire life.

He is asked about Arrow and Stephen says it will be a bigger universe this year. There will be some mystical stuff that the people who were fans in year one will like.

Neville is asked why to watch on the WWE Network. Neville says this will be a spectacle like never seen before. Neville mentions that Brock and Undertaker match.

We take a look at the return of Dolph Ziggler last week on Raw.

Byron says that Rusev is vulnerable because he is still focused on Lana. Corey says that Rusev is past Lana.

It is time to talk about the Undertaker versus Brock Lesnar match.

Byron mentions how long Undertaker has had to deal with the loss to Brock at Wrestlemania and it is time for him to get retribution. Corey mentions that Brock has not been beaten in more than three years. He won’t get stopped tonight. Booker says the polls online are leaning towards Brock. He says it will take a superhuman feat for Taker to win.

Corey picks Brock. Byron thinks the Undertaker wins because it is hard to beat Taker two times in a row. Booker reminds us he has been in the ring with both of them and he picks Brock.
