Kayla brings up last year’s SummerSlam match when Becky Lynch defeated Bianca for the title. Peter says she expects to win tonight, but this is the rubber match and the end for Bianca and Becky.

We have a video package for Baron Corbin and Pat McAfee.
Kayla asks what to expect. Peter says he has been impressed with Pat in the ring and he has delivered every time. He says Corbin may be his toughest opponent. Lawler talks about what Corbin has done in the ring and then says that McAfee was a kicker in football. Booker says he has had many superstars get in his face and he can brush back, but that is not his job. McAfee needs to know his damn role and Corbin is going to beat the hell out of him to show Pat why he sits behind the desk.
Kevin brings up the comparisons but it is Pat McAfee. Kevin goes with Pat. Peter picks Pat. Peter says Corbin is more skilled in the ring, but Pat has succeeded at everything. Booker says Pat has been going into business for himself. That isn’t how things works. Jerry says him and Booker can eat a can of alphabet soup and crap out better commentary than Pat.
We take a look at the Mysterios versus THE Judgment Day match with a video package.
Kevin brings up Rhea Ripley getting involved in the celebration. Booker says that he can see the worst happen. You don’t want to see a quiet man get involved, especially someone like Rey. Peter talks about how THE Judgment Day disrespected the Mysterios. Jerry says he likes Rey and he respects THE Judgment Day but can you trust someone who stabbed the back of their leader.
Peter picks The Mysterios. Kevin agrees with Peter. Booker says THE Judgment Day is too strong. Jerry says he likes it when it gets personal. Jerry picks The Mysterios.
It is time to take a look at Logan Paul and The Miz. We have a video package.
Greg Miller joins the panel and he is the host of the show This is Awesome. He says the show is about the nostaglia and why people became WWE fans.
Kayla asks about Miz’ balls and then asks another question about Logan being a fan and if he can do it against Miz. Greg says this is the match to watch tonight. He says Logan turned heads at Wrestlemania. You wanted to hate him and then he did what he did at Mania. Kayla asks if Miz is angry the spotlight has been taken from him by Logan. Jerry says Logan proved him wrong but when you look at his wrestling accomplishment, it isn’t that much. He needs to sit under the learning tree with the Miz to become the top two influencers. Booker says it is easier to be a tag team wrestler as a newcomer.
Kayla asks for picks.
Booker and Jerry pick Miz. Kevin picks The Miz as well. Greg says it is Logan Paul’s night.
We go to Sarah Schreiber backstage and she is with Theory.
She asks him about what he is going to do tonight and how he feels. Theory says he feels like he is on top of the world. This is his time. After tonight, we will be in the Theory Era. He will take back his United States Championship and he will cash in the briefcase tonight. It does not matter who it is. He will walk to the ring, cash in the contract, and become the youngest Unified Champion.
Kayla reminds everyone that he has to face Lashley tonight.
Kevin brings up everyone who has issues with Theory. Booker says you want to be at the top or working with the one at the top. Theory is going to be big time. Greg says Theory is looking past Bobby Lashley. That makes Lashley angry. Jerry says Theory realizes that he has been the teacher’s pet and there is a substitute teacher. Theory has to be worried about that. Lashley is no walk in the park. Jerry says he does not think Theory gets past Lashley. Booker says he likes Theory. Even if you aren’t the best, you have to talk like the best. Theory has the briefcase and he will cash in at the right time.
Kayla asks if Theory will cash in. Booker says Theory will pick the right time.
Booker says being a double champion will elevate Theory if he can do it. Booker picks Theory. Jerry, Kevin, and Greg pick Lashley.
We take a look at the Smackdown Women’s Championship Match.
Kayla says that a survey on The Bump went with 77% of the people picking Liv.
Peter says this is a time where the champion is an underdog. Jerry says you cannot put stock in the opinion of the fans because they are speaking with their hearts. It wasn’t long ago that everyone loved Ronda. Now it has switched. The fans switched, not the wrestlers. It is not about the fans tonight, it is about those two women fighting for the title. Booker says he knows how hard you are willing to fight to keep the title. He says Ronda is looking past Liv. Liv does not have to win, she doesn’t have to lose.
Peter picks Ronda and Kevin picks Liv. Booker picks Liv. Jerry picks Ronda.
We go to Jackie Redmond inside the stadium.

He dominated 2022 more than Tom Cruise and he cannot see Roman losing. Kayla says when Brock returned, people were in disbelief. Kevin talks about Roman seeing Brock come back. Peter says there might be more pressure on Brock tonight than any match in his career. He cannot lose back to back matches. Booker says Roman has been dominating over the last year. Booker says he saw a carnivore in Brock Lesnar when he came back. He wants to get his hands on that title. If anyone can do it, he thinks Brock can do it.
