Kevin Owens is introduced as “the victorious Kevin Owens.” Owens’ left elbow is wrapped up, and he is limping. Owens says at Hell in a Cell, he did exactly what he said he was going to do: he sent Shane McMahon to hell. Now Shane McMahon is gone, and he is never coming back. The people should be counting their blessings not just for that, but this Sunday they almost lost him, too.

Owens was blinded by the white light you hear so much about on Sunday. Owens drifted up to heaven, but Saint Peter said they need Owens on earth. St. Peter even provided him with his very own guardian angel, Sami Zayn! As he re-entered his body, he found his purpose to turn Smackdown Live into his personal paradise. Now everyone is gathered in his personal heaven, The Kevin Owens Show. Owens introduces his best friend and guardian angel, Sami Zayn!

Zayn comes out to a mixed reception. Zayn is smiling and bouncing around like nothing has happened. Owens asks Zayn to explain that he had no idea that Zayn was going to come out on Sunday and pull him away from certain destruction. However before he does that, he needs to tell Zayn thank you. Zayn smiles widely. Zayn says he’ll explain everything. Owens powerbombing him on the apron a few weeks ago opened his eyes to everything. His whole career has been about pleasing the people. Zayn tried to take their hopes and dreams on his shoulders, which brought him to mediocrity. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens became the Intercontinental Champion, the Universal Champion, and the United States Champion. That’s ok because he gets to sleep at night with a clear conscience.

Zayn says that he figured if he keeps doing things the right way, maybe in five years his time would come. He thought his time came when Shane McMahon invited him to “The Land of Opportunity.” McMahon said RAW had been misusing him and Smackdown Live would give him the respect he deserved. That was the last meeting he ever had with McMahon. He gets it. People get busy. He’ll just keep coming in with a smile on his face until a couple of weeks ago when he saw McMahon in the hallway, and he tried to warn him what Owens was capable of. McMahon brushed him off. That’s when he realized McMahon never cared about him or wanted to give him an opportunity. That brings us to Hell in a Cell.

He watched the match with bated breath, just like everyone else, heck, Zayn even wanted McMahon to win. When McMahon knocked Owens off the cell through the table, he had the match won. Then he turned around and started to climb all the way back to the top of the cell. Owens has been a lot of things to him over the years. Owens has been his best friend, bitter rival, and everything in between. Owens will always be his brother. When he saw McMahon up there, he realized he didn’t care about anyone but himself. McMahon wanted to end his career… or worse. So he saved his brother because it was the right thing to do. Zayn saved his brother because McMahon became an absolute psychopath. For the longest time he thought he despised Owens, but now he realizes that he despises the fact that he was right. Zayn thanks him, and they hug while the crowd gives them a mixed reaction. They continue hugging and fight over whose arm should be raised. They hug again to end the segment – that was fun and I look forward to this tandem.

Baron Corbin will defend the WWE United States Championship against AJ Styles. Coming up next, Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton will take on Rusev and Aiden English.

AJ Styles is backstage with Renee Young. Styles says Baron Corbin is a good prospect, but he’s prone to mistakes. Styles says this is the House that AJ Styles Built, and he’ll be damned if some Lone Wolf is going to steal his championship and walk out with his head held high. Styles isn’t overconfident. That’s just the reality of it. Tonight is the End of Days for Corbin’s title reign.

*Commercial Break*

We return and get a video of two guys with their backs to the camera. They turn around and it’s Erick Rowan and Luke Harper holding hammers. They talk about maiming people and call themselves the Bludgeon Brothers. Awesome!

Bobby Roode makes his way to the ring in Grand Rapids and the crowd are excited. Roode says that he is happy to say that his PPV debut was nothing short of “GLORIOUS”! That was…until Dolph Ziggler attacked him from behind right after he won. Roode calls out Ziggler for a fight.

Dolph comes out and congratulates Roode on his big debut win. He says Roode looked awesome and the crowd sang along with his music, and then the bell rang. He claims he exposed Roode for a fraud; dominating him throughout the match as the better wrestler and the better man. He says Roode panicked and realised his whole ploy was failing, so he pulled Dolph’s tights and scored the win. Ziggler says he was wrong about Bobby because he’s not just an entrance, he’s also a cheat.

Roode says all he did was prove he was smarted than Dolph, to which Ziggler explodes and tells him to name the time and place. Roode says they’ve got a rematch but it’s going to go exactly the same way as the first match. Roode says he’s sick of hearing Ziggler complain, just like the people, so let’s do this right now. Ziggler takes off his jacket and feigns coming to the ring before turning back and walking away.

We see Baron Corbin walking towards the ring backstage, and he stops at every person he passes and shoves his US title in their face. His match with Styles is up next.
