Powell’s POV: WWE is advertising a one-hour Kickoff Show starting at 5CT/6ET with the actual event starting at 6CT/7ET. There is also a 30-minute post show hosted by Renee Young advertised for 9:30CT/10:30ET. In other words, the pay-per-view is slotted for 3.5 hours, but they have run long despite post shows being advertised in the past. Join me for live coverage beginning with Kickoff Show notes. Dot Net Members will hear an audio review hosted by Jake Barnett and I late tonight.

This show has turd written all over it. No one wants to see Bliss vs. Jax again.
They need to bring Gilburg back to offset Ellsworth in the Asuka vs Carmella match.
Man forget Gillburg, he’s only entertaining when he’s getting jackhammered by Goldberg. I say with Asuka’s ethnic background that they bring in Funaki to her corner! SD#1!
