Smackdown Live: 8 pm EST

Show opens up and WWE Champion Daniel Bryan comes out to the ring with Rowan in tow. A video recap of Kofi Kingston being screwed out of his title shot by Vince McMahon is shown on the screen. The crowd boos. Bryan starts cutting a promo but the crowd boos some more and Rowan warns everyone to be silent. Bryan says he agrees that Vince should have removed the man who throws out copious amounts of pancakes (Kofi), but not that he should be replaced by a man who eats copious amounts of pancakes (Kevin Owens).

Owens is a nobody, says Bryan, but a nobody is somebody with nothing to lose and that makes him dangerous. Bryan says if he loses, the planet loses. Owens music hits and he comes out to address Bryan. Owens says all his time off was hard because he had to watch other people do what he loves to do. And nothing was worse than having to watch Bryan carrying on like he’s better than everyone else. Owens says he’s going to be the one to shut Bryan’s condescending mouth. The crowd cheers.

Owens continues to talk smack at Bryan, but as he steps into the ring, Rowan approaches him. Owens responds by throwing down and the down begin winging punches on each other. Bryan and Rowan end up overwhelming Owens and leave him laid out in the ring as they take their leave.
