First match of the night
It seems like we will kick things off with a Tag Team Match tonight at SummerSlam.
Roman Reigns and Jey Uso will reunite to take on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
This will be quite a bout after some intense confrontations and beatdowns the last few weeks.
And – well – Reigns will be especially frustrated after his opponents stole his boots…
Hello from New Jersey
And a big hello from me – Kostas Lianos.
Tonight I will be bringing you all the live action from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
It’s good to be back in Jersey, where I covered WrestleMania 35 six years ago.
Can’t wait to report the first ever two-night SummerSlam event!
Tonight’s main event
Gunther and CM Punk are both generational Superstars who look very different on the surface, but it’s hard to pair up two more skilled competitors inside the squared circle in the headline fight on Night 1.
Last year, the Second City Saint competed in his first SummerSlam clash in 11 years but fell short against Drew McIntyre in Cleveland.
The World Heavyweight Champion, meanwhile, is 2-0 all-time at SummerSlam with wins over Damian Priest and McIntyre the last two years.
CM Punk has been clear since his return to WWE that he’s committed to reclaiming championship gold.
Will it be Gunther or Punk who steals the show at The Biggest Event of the Summer?
