We go to a backstage segment where Renee Young and others in the Kickoff panel are asking Shinsuke Nakamura questions. Nakamura doesn’t answer much but we hear a “WE WANT HOGAN” chant.
Up next is the Tables match between The New Day and SAnitY. This is the second match of the Kickoff show.
After good back & forth action, SAnitY picks up the win after Eric Young drove Kofi Kingston through a table outside the ring!
