Title Match Moved To WWE SummerSlam Kickoff Show
Take a guess...
Six title matches are scheduled for tonight's WWE SummerSlam broadcast, including both World titles, both Women's titles, the United States title, and the Cruiserweight title. One of them has been moved to the pre-show, and by golly, you'll never guess which one it was.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that the Cruiserweight title match pitting Drew Gulak against former CZW rival Oney Lorcan has been moved to the Kickoff show.
Johnson's report also claims that there are currently plans for three matches to run during the Kickoff window. It's not clear whether another main card match will be moved, or if they'll simply be throw-ins involving talents not already announced for the show.
The card as of right now looks like this:
-Universal title: Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins
-WWE title: Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton
-Raw Women's title/Submission match: Becky Lynch vs. Natalya
-SmackDown Women's title: Bayley vs. Ember Moon
-United States title: AJ Styles vs. Ricochet
-Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon (if Owens loses, he will quit WWE)
-Goldberg vs. Dolph Ziggler
-Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair
-Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt
-Cruiserweight title (Kickoff Show): Drew Gulak vs. Oney Lorcan
