Can you post the promo package for the PPV?
Also, who is the heel and who is the babyface here?

Karj is the babyface

Carlsen is going to stomp Karjakin so bad it's not even funny.

Magnus is the face here, but quite a lot of people would like to see him lose because he always wins and he has embarrassed the old system of players who were robots who memorized books of opening lines. So he's rather Cena-like in that he is the favorite of the younger players and women (who like him for his looks).

Sergey Karjakin is a Russian/Ukrainian upstart who is working to restore the honor of his country by getting back the World Title in their true national sport.

The first game is a pretty dry draw. I guess they are feeling each other out.

Also worth discussing: the next Women's World Championship will be held in Iran, and all the players from around the world will be forced to wear the hijab. Several of the top players are boycotting the event.

Not much into competitive chess, but if there is one thing I know about this is the Russians always win.
