- On the SummerSlam Kickoff show the announcers mentioned that Edge has requested that his match be the opening match on the show as he feels he will be unable to resist the urge to get his hands on LA Knight and so that's our opening match. | 70

This is a super hot opener. Edge comes out first, dressed in all-white. He comes out and the crowd goes crazy for their hometown hero. He poses on the stage and then poses again in the ring. Tons of pyro shoots off from all around the building. The announcers put over that this might be the last time he performs in his hometown and they talk about how big the match is for Edge's opponent, LA Knight. Knight is out next. The boos from the crowd are almost deafening as Knight comes out onto the stage. He climbs in the ring and poses but Edge attacks him before he can get his vest off. The bell rings and Edge is a man possessed to start. He whips Knight into the corner and slams LA's head into the top turnbuckle and then whips him into another turnbuckle and slams his head into the top buckle again. Edge does it two more times for an around-the-world turnbuckle smash. Knight is dazed and Edge gets a double leg takedown and throws both rights and lefts on LA Knight as Knight tries to cover up.

Edge waits for Knight to get up and hits the spear. Edge covers Knight but LA kicks out at two! Edge picks Knight up and hits the Impaler ddt. Edge goes to cover Knight but he looks down at Knight with disgust. He spits on him and then leaves the ring.

Knight bails from the ring and Edge and Beth hug in the ring and play to the crowd as Edge gets a huge ovation from his hometown crowd. | 88

This was weird. It was short and it didn't seem like it should have been any good but it ended up working. They basically just got in the ring and started throwing hands. Neither guy bothered to work their punches and neither man bothered to cover up. But they weren't trying to knock each other out either. Cormier took Lesnar down and tried to work an arm submission but Lesnar fought out of it. They brawled around a bit more and Cormier got a double leg and charged the corner, slamming Lesnar into the turnbuckles. Cormier threw some body punches but Lesnar hit a headbutt and a clothesline to underscore that this was still a wrestling match and not an MMA fight. Lesnar kicked Cormier in the head and then picked him up for an F-5 but Cormier got an armbar and spun around. Lesnar dove for the ropes and, in a cool spot, dangled Cormier upside down over the top rope toward the floor. Cormier kept the hold locked in and Lesnar screamed in pain but refused to tap. Eventually he swung Cormier around and Cormier slammed into the steel ring post. This not only broke the armbar but sent Cormier collapsing to the arena floor. The referee went out of the ring to check on Cormier and called the fight. Cormier came to and tried to get back in the ring but he was bleeding profusely and had to be held back as the referee stopped the fight and awarded it to Brock.

Cathy Kelley is backstage with Edge and Beth Phoenix. She asks Edge about the outcome of his match and he says that he did not come here tonight with the idea that he could lose. He's not happy about the loss but he loved the outpouring of love he got after the match. Cathy asks if he plans to wrestle again. Edge says his run isn't over. He just knows that it's probably going to be a year or so before WWE returns to this city and he's not sure he'll still be around by then. But he has a few more bucket list items left to check off. As he's talking Brock Lesnar walks past and bumps Edge. Edge gets a "what the ****?" look on his face and he shoves Brock in the shoulder. Brock turns around and smiles and asks Edge if he just saw him dismantle Daniel Cormier. Edge says he didn't. Brock tells Edge to watch himself or else he'll do even worse to Edge. Edge tells Brock that he's never backed down before and he doesn't plan on doing it now. Brock tells Edge that he knows where to find him if he wants to get his ass handed to him. Lesnar stomps off and Edge just stands there and stares in the direction he walked in. | 88

Rhea picks Bianca up and throws her into the cage. Rhea takes over control of the match and works over Bianca's back. The cage kind of hinders them in this one as they just kind of brawl around the ring for a while. Each woman gets a couple near falls but nothing really works. Bianca keeps showing frustration on her face when Rhea kicks out. Eventually both women hit a running clothesline and there's a double down spot. Bianca is up first. She walks over to Rhea and picks up and walks her into the corner. Bianca picks Rhea up and sets her on the top turnbuckle. Bianca climbs up and sets up for the KOD from the top rope but Rhea headbutts her and instead turns it into a Riptide from the second turnbuckle. Rhea immediately covers Bianca and gets the win.

- Bianca Belair is backstage looking distraught. Her husband, Montez Ford and his tag team partner Angelo Dawkins are working to try and cheer her up. Nothing is working. When Montez tells Bianca he has to head to the ring for his match she tells him that she hopes his night goes better than hers. Angelo hears her and promises her that their night will end with them holding the tag team titles. Bianca smiles and wishes them good luck as they exit the room. | 69

This one was fun. Montez was head and shoulders above everyone in this match which is hard to believe because Seth and Logan Paul were really good as well. All four men brawled to start. Dawkins took Rollins out of the ring with the patented Big E spear through the ropes. Logan Paul and Montez Ford brawl around the ring.

But immediately after hitting the three count and before calling for the bell the referee looked and saw that Gunther's foot was under the ropes and thus the pinfall should not have counted.

Dash says that the Von Erichs are going to have to learn quickly that in WWE you make your own breaks. The world will know quickly if the Von Erichs belong in the big leagues on Friday night. Cornette closes the promo by saying that the Von Erichs' dad, uncles, and grandfather dodged Cornette and the Midnight Express in the 80s because they were afraid.

Roman controlled the early moments of the match but Jey kept fighting back. Jey hit a Samon Drop. Jey reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a chain. He wrapped it around his fist and started punching Roman with it, busting him open a little bit. Roman was angered by this and he goes crazy. He blocked a punch and kicked Jey in the stomach. Roman beat Jey around the ring for a bit but Jey fought back and hit a superkick to knock Roman into the ropes. Jey clotheslined Roman to the outside and then ran off the ropes and leapt over the top rope and tried to hit Roman but Roman sidestepped and shoved Jey into the barricade. Jey fell to the floor holding his ribs. Roman controlled the match from that point. He would pick Jey up and throw him onto the barricade. Then pick Jey up and run him into the steel ring post. Roman broke out a chair and slammed it into Jey's midsection and back. Roman grabbed his red ula fala necklace and begins choking Jey with it. Roman turned Jey so that they were looking directly at Rikishi as he choked Jey. Roman yelled at Rikishi to throw in the towel. Roman said Jey is suffering and told Rikishi to throw in the towel but Jey waved him off. Roman laid Jey onto the steel steps and grabbed the chair and went to nail him with a chairshot but Jey moved. Jey got a flurry of offense and sent Roman back into the ring. Jey got in and hit a superkick. He got handcuffs out and picked Roman up and shoved him into the corner. Jey went to handcuff Roman to the ropes but Roman recovered and headbutted Jey. Roman reversed them and handcuffed Jey into the corner. Roman backed up and charged Jey and hit a Superman punch. And then another. And then another. Jey was seemingly out on his feet as he collapsed to his knees. Roman picked Jey up and positioned him in the corner. He backed up and charged and speared Jey. Then he hit another spear. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. Roman left the ring and went over to talk to Rikishi. Roman told him to throw in the towel. He said he was going to break his son in half unless he gave up. Roman said Jey was too stupid to give up. "It has to be this way. Throw it." When Rikishi refused Roman went into the ring and grabbed Jey and drug him to the outside. Jey was basically lifeless and Roman held him up in front of Rikishi. Roman slapped Jey to sort of wake him up a bit and then hit another spear. Roman stood up and looked right at Rikishi as he pointed down at Jey. Rikishi looked like he was close to throwing in the towel but didn't. Roman ripped up the padding on the arena floor and exposed the concrete floor beneath. Roman grabbed Jey and set up for a piledriver and stared at Rikishi the entire time. The camera picked up Roman saying "What happens now -- is on you" and just as went to lift Jey for the piledriver, Rikishi threw in the towel to end the match. Roman threw Jey down onto the floor and began grinning as he was declared the winner.

- Roman tells Rikishi to acknowledge him but Rikishi refuses. Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Trinity rush out to check on Jey but they are stopped in the aisle by Ona Leaga and the Guerillas. Roman places a chair on Jey's neck and threatens to stomp him unless Rikishi acknowledges his Tribal Chief. Reluctantly, Rikishi raises his one finger. Roman laughs and he and Paul Heyman begin to make their way to the back. Jimmy, Solo, and Trinity are allowed to go check on Jey and Rikishi hops the barricade to check on him too. The final shot of the PLE is of Roman, Paul Heyman, Ona Leaga, Kava Tonga, and Tua Tava raising one finger in the air. That is juxtaposed by repeated cuts to Jimmy, Trinity, and Rikishi trying to get medical attention for Jey. Roman smiles smugly as the announcers wonder if the reunited Bloodline will make Roman stronger than ever. | 84
