WWE News: Huge Match Announced for the Summerslam Kick-off Show 1

This past Monday Night, we have witnessed a brief altercation between The Miz and The Hardy Boyz. It took place at the backstage area after which the General Manager Kurt Angle was forced to book them in a match. It was a hint of things to come at the Summerslam PPV.

So, now, WWE has confirmed that The Miz and his entourage will take on the team of The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan. This is going to be a rematch on the WWE network after the latter team picked up the win on this past edition of Raw. However, it was clarified by the company’s website that the match has been shifted to the kick-off show.

The news was broken first by Cathy Kelley in the Youtube channel. Later, WWE.com posted the following to confirm the match:

“The spotlight on The Biggest Event of the Summer just got a bit brighter, as Cathy Kelley just announced in a WWE.com Exclusive video that The A-Lister and his Miztourage will battle The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan in an explosive Six-Man Tag Team Match as part of a special two-hour SummerSlam Kickoff.”

The Hardyz were delighted with the announcement of this match, whereas, The Miz was seen complaining about the Intercontinental title not being on the line at the dual brand PPV event.

There were quite a few speculations going on with the status of The Hardy Boyz and The Miz over their opponents. Hardyz were supposed to be taking on The Revivals who are out of action with an injury. On the other hand, Jason Jordan was said to be The Miz’s opponent at Summerslam. But, the match was cancelled due to Jordan not gathering enough attention from the WWE Universe.

Till now, three matches are confirmed to take place on the kick-off show which is as follows:

The Hardys and Jason Jordan vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion, The Miz, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas

Neville vs. Akira Tozawa (Cruiserweight title match)

The Usos vs. The New Day (SmackDown Tag Team Titles match)
