The WWE starts us off with an explanation as to why they didn’t do the Kurt Angle Jason Jordan reveal in Pittsburgh. The WWE loves to embarrass their employees and having that segment in his hometown would be equivalent to jobbing. He only gets to say what matches are on the card tonight. When he goes to leave, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman says that Angle is just trying to take the WWE Championship away from his client. He lists all of his opponents good attributes except for Samoa Joe, who he continues to insult. Heyman says that if Brock Lesnar loses at Summerslam, he’s going to leave the WWE. Interestingly enough though, he doesn’t really try to get Brock out of the match. Couldn’t you request the triple threat match be a No. 1 contender’s match?
