Booker tells Kevin he has to prove himself since it is his first night on the panel.

They run through the card for SummerSlam.

We have a video package for the WWE Championship Match.

Booker says this match is highly anticipated because Goldberg has been around for a while.  How do you tell a man he cannot do it any more.  Booker says this is the best version of Bobby Lashley we have seen.  This could be the night the wheels come off for Goldberg.

Peter wonders who long the match will be between Lashley and Goldberg.  Peter says we know that Lashley is going to win.  Lawler says that Goldberg has had a long career and he has won many matches with the spear.  Lashley and MVP made it personal bringing in Goldberg's son.

Booker says Goldberg can make a mistake because of the situation surrounding Gage.

It is time for a video package for the Smackdown Women's Championship match.

Sonya Deville joins the panel and is asked about Sasha and Bianca.  Sonya says that Sasha is the blueprint but her ego is her biggest problem.   Bianca has been battered and beaten by Sasha and has fought back every time.  Kevin asks if Sasha will regret what she has done.  Booker says that Bianca is naive to think that she can stay at the top with her friends.  Booker says Bianca needs to keep her eyes on the prize or she will lose the title.

Sonya says that Bianca has risen to the ocassion.  Sonya says that Sasha is attaching herself to Bianca.  Jerry says that Sasha cannot get over the fact that she lost the title since Wrestlemania.

We take a look at the Smackdown Tag Title Match.

Kayla brings up the Mysterios not being on the same page.   Peter says that Rey is showing frustration with Dominik.  Kayla mentions Dominik made his WWE debut a year ago.

We take a look at Seth Rollins and Edge with a video package.

Booker says Edge is looking to prove a point with Seth Rollins and he wants to show Seth that he is a man of high caliber in the ring.  He says Seth will pull the trigger if he has the chance.  Peter asks how much Edge needs this win.  He says Edge needs this win.  Jerry says everyone who steps in the ring feels they need the win.  Jerry says you have two evil minds who are going to collide tonight.  The most evil will win.  

Now it is time to take a look at the Raw Women's Championship Match with a video package.

Kayla asks Kevin which of the women in this match is hungriest.  Kevin says it is Charlotte.  Jerry says if Nikki is still the champion after tonight, she won't be 'almost' any more.  Booker says all you need to do is believe.

We see Miz and John Morrison driving into the building in a Bottled Water Truck.

Sarah ambushse them and asks what is that.  Miz says there is a big surprise for everyone in the truck.  

Match Number One:  Baron Corbin versus Big E

Baron does not want to give up the briefcase to the referee.  

Big E backs Corbin into the corner and connects with shoulders.  Big E with a shoulder tackle but Corbin bounces off the ropes and hits a shoulder tackle.  Big E with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex to Corbin, despite Corbin's protest.  Big E with a belly-to-back suplex for a near fall.  Big E pulls Corbin to the apron and Big E goes to the apron for a splash and misses when Corbin moves.  Corbin goes to the floor and sends Big E into the ring post.  Big E gets back into the ring before the ten count but Corbin sends Big E shoulder first into the ring post and he does it again.  Corbin throws Big E into the ring post shoulder first for a third time.

Corbin gets a near fall.  Corbin with a side slam for a near fall.  Big E avoids a choke slam and Big E with a stretch muffler.  Corbin kicks Big E away and Corbin with deep six.  Baron grabs the briefcase and Big E with a shoulder tackle and then he slams Corbin's head into the announce table.  Corbin leaves the ring and grabs the briefcase but Big E with a POUNCE to stop Baron's escape.  Corbin gets back into the ring and then goes to the apron.  Big E goes for a spear through the ropes and both men go down on the floor.

Big E with the Big Ending for the three count.

Winner:  Big E

After the match, Big E gets his briefcase back.

We take a look at the Universal Championship Match with a video package.

Kayla asks Booker who he thinks wants it more and who it means more for.  Booker says John Cena loves this business and he would not be back if he did not love it.  He says Cena is polarizing.  Jerry says people do not think Roman will leave.  He would not bet against John Cena.  Peter says Cena is an all time great, but we need to look at what Roman has done.  He says Roman is the most important person in WWE during the pandemic.  Peter says that Roman is not losing tonight.  Booker says he has his faith in Roman, but there is no one like John Cena who can make the fans feel a certain way.  That could put Cena over the top tonight.

Kevin reminds us that Roman did not want to face Cena tonight.
