WWE is now listing the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match at SummerSlam between The New Day and The Usos as a Kickoff Show match.
There are rumors that the Akira Tozawa vs. Neville Cruiserweight Championship match will also take place on the Kickoff Show, but that isn’t official yet on WWE.com’s preview.
The Kickoff Show will start at 5 PM ET, with the main card starting at 7 PM. Last year, there were also 12 total matches, and three were put on the two hour Kickoff Show, so it seems safe to guess that the same will end up happening this year.
