Summerslam is coming up very soon. The event will be headlined by the massive fatal 4-way match for the WWE Universal Championship between Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar. The event will also feature a WWE Championship match between Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura.
According to a report from PWInsider ELITE (via Wrestling INC) there are a few matches that could end up on the Summerslam kickoff show.
Summerslam Rumors
The first kickoff match was reportedly planned to be the Hardy’s vs the Revival. After the recent injury to Scott Dawson, it looks like that match will be scrapped. The Hardy’s vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson will likely be added over the next few weeks instead.
Also, the report says that the Smackdown Tag Team Title match between the New Day and the Usos could be on the kickoff show as well.
The kickoff show will begin at 5:00 PM (EST). The pre-show panel will be Renee Young, Peter Rosenberg, David Otunga, Lita and Jerry Lawler.
Last year’s show saw 3 kickoff matches so it is unclear at the moment if another one will join the matches listed above. We will let you know if we hear anything more or if some of these change.
