Smackdown Live: 8 pm EST

Show opens up and Kevin Owens comes out. He says he was going to kickoff the show with an edition of the Kevin Owens Show but this audience doesn’t deserve it. He is content that he will be able to kick WWE Champion Kofi Kingston’s behind in a few minutes. But Owens wants to clear one thing up. No matter what Big E says, it was not Owens who attacked him last week. Owens continues his promo until Kofi’s music interrupts and out comes the champ. Kofi brings out a platter of pancakes and starts tossing the discs to the fans in the crowd.

Kofi says he doesn’t believe that Owens didn’t attack E. Owens is a liar, Kofi says. And Owens is about to find out why Kofi is the WWE champion.
