Summers's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Avatar - Let It Burn. Moxley has chosen Welcome to the Masquerade - Thousand Foot Krutch as his entrance music. Jon Moxley told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
