Welcome to PWInsider.com’s live coverage of the WWE Survivor Series from Atlanta, Georgia.

In addition to the play by play coverage, make sure to check out Mike Johnson’s blog, and audios recapping the Survivor Series.

Your announcers on the Kickoff Show Panel are Renee Young, Corey Graves, Booker T, and Byron Saxton.

We see the four men who will be wrestling for the WWE Championship tonight as they entered the arena this afternoon.

Renee mentions that there will be a new champion crowned later tonight and she mentions the pressure that they will encounter tonight.

We go to Tom Phillips in the Social Media Lounge and tells us that Tyler Breeze and Summer Rae will be his guests tonight.

We see a video package for the WWE World Heavyweight Title Tournament.

Booker says opportunity knocks for one of these four men. He says history will be made tonight.

Renee asks how the preparation changes for the winner because they will have to win two matches.

Byron says you need to bring everything to the table.

The first semifinal match will be Roman Reigns versus Alberto Del Rio.

Corey says that Alberto Del Rio was all about himself, but he has changed. He is more aggressive. He points out how Del Rio beat Cena on his first night. He does not know if Reigns can beat Del Rio.

Booker says that Del Rio has been in his Fave Five.

Renee brings up the Authority.

Byron says that Triple H gave Roman the chance to go to the finals and Reigns told Hunter to shove it.

Byron shows us footage from an interview he did with Roman Reigns.

Byron mentions that Roman is two matches from getting where he has been fighting for the entire year. If he falls short, will he regret not taking Triple H up on the offer to be Hunter’s man and bypass the tournament to get to the finals.

Roman says hell no. He would rather lose on his own than have Triple H hand him the championship. People have been asking him why is he thinking this. He will not sell out to Triple H. People will witness history because he will make history and he will do it on his own.

Renee asks Byron about sitting there with Roman for the interview.

Byron brings up the tournament in 1998 when The Rock won the title in a tournament.

Renee says she tried to talk to Zeb Colter and Alberto Del Rio and they would not talk to her.

The other semifinal match is Dean Ambrose versus Kevin Owens.

Byron says that if either of these men win, he is going to hide because of what Kevin and Dean promised if they win the title.

Booker mentions what happened when Tom Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe to be the Patriots quarterback. Now one of these two men have that opportunity.

We go to Dean Ambrose’s promo if he were to win the WWE Title.

They talk about Dean’s suggestions and Corey is okay with some of them.

We go to Kevin Owens’ comments from his interview with Michael Cole. Kevin says he has done some crazy things and you can look it up. Kevin says that Dean can do some crazy things but wait until you see what happens on Sunday.

Booker says that Kevin is a hybrid and he is here to stay.

Corey says that Owens says he is a prize fighter and this is the biggest prize. What about the comments Hunter said to Kevin. They mention that Kevin came to the arena in a jacket.

Corey picks Owens while Byron goes with Dean. Booker picks Roman Reigns.

It is time to take a look at the Divas Title with a video package.

Byron says that Charlotte has lived through pressure her entire life living in Ric Flair’s shadow. People suggested that she stray away from the Flair name but she said she did not care and she wanted the pressure. He thinks she will take it like a pro.

Booker says it will be like Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. It will get hot in here and he cannot wait for it to go down. He says it is the youngest Divas champion versus the hottest diva on the roster.

Rich Brennan is with Charlotte in the interview area. He asks Charlotte about what can we expect tonight against Paige. Charlotte says she lost her cool on Monday and that is not how she wants people to see her. They don’t want people to think of her as a competitor or champion that way. Paige is trying to make this personal. She will prove why she is the Divas champion and she will do it with flair.

Renee asks Booker what would he ask Prince Pretty. Booker says he would ask her about Summer Breeze.

We are at ringside with Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole, and John Layfield.
