Anybody who is anybody, until Smackdown Live is no more.” He talks about how this will now be the Kevin Owens Show on the USA Network. Owens says his first actions will be to fire Sami Zayn. He takes shots at Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton on commentary suggesting they wear one suit since they sound like the same person. Owens says he plans to cancel the Fashion Files. “I don’t get it. Cancelled.”
He looks towards the entrance ramp and calls for Vince McMahon to come out. Shane McMahon’s music hits. Out comes Dolph Ziggler dressed like Shane dancing around. Owens says Ziggler fooled him. Ziggler says we might have to put this entrance in the “maybe pile.” Owens says he might as well use the music since no one else will.
Here comes Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan. Big reaction for Bryan in Las Vegas. Bryan tells Owens he doesn’t run the show around here. Owens says he has big plans for Bryan when he takes over, announcing he will become the official show janitor. Bryan isn’t afraid of hard work and labor, points at Owens’ stomach and suggests he try it.
Bryan tells Owens that Mr. McMahon will be here very soon and adds Owens won’t like what he has to say. Owens tells Bryan that Mr. McMahon won’t like what he has to say. Owens leaves while Bryan watches on.
