Welcome to 411’s WWE SummerSlam 2017 Report. We are LIVE in beautiful Brooklyn, New York. We’ve got three championship matches scheduled for the special two hour Kickoff Show, and I’ve got a Red Bull IV going to get me through six straight hours of PPV coverage.

Tonight’s Kickoff Show Panel is Renee Young, David Otunga, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Lita. Charly Caruso is in the Social Media Lounge, and later in the Kickoff Show she’ll be joined by Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. We start with a video package for John Cena vs. Baron Corbin and follow up with a video package for Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt. Lawler, Otunga, and Lita all pick the Demon King over the Eater of Worlds.

Next up is a video package for AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens. Shane McMahon joins Dasha Fuentes in the back to assure us that he won’t put his hands on either competitor… unless he deems that they put their hands on him on purpose. Either way, he promises that we WILL have a clear winner tonight. Lawler picks Owens, but Otunga and Lita pick Styles.

The first match on the Kickoff Show is going to be The Hardy Boyz & Jason Jordan vs. The Miz & The Miztourage.
