Summary
With WWE's post-SummerSlam shows in the books, Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein reconvene to discuss the tremendous developments during Raw and SmackDown, including the reformation of The Shield on Monday night (7:20). After his surprise return last week, Nick Kostos stops by again for the Main Event to not only break down the fallout from SummerSlam but officiate the contentious debate between BC and The Silver King from Sunday night (35:00). Will Well-Dressed Nick side with Silver King and the ITC listeners or once again lock arms in tandem with his boy, BC? After the Main Event, Brian welcomes in a trio of special guests -- The Miz (1:06:25), Finn Balor (1:15:11) and Elias (1:26:27) -- before the guys wrap things up with an extensive look at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 (1:35:20).
