We begin with a look back at the events that took place at the end of Raw in the Universal Title Match when Triple H returned to Pedigree two of the last three men in the match to help Kevin Owens become the new Champion.
We are in Kansas City, Missouri and your announcers are Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.
We see Stephanie McMahon earlier tonight talking about the celebration for Kevin Owens. They need to over deliver. Mick Foley stops by and Stephanie hangs up.
Mick says that Stephanie's husband made him look like a fool last week and she did nothing about it.
Stephanie tells Mick that she will not apologize for what happened. She knew nothing about that. She was behind Seth Rollins.
Mick and Stephanie argue over who is telling the truth.
Mick talks about the first time he saw Stephanie after his Hell in a Cell match. He says that Stephanie has always been the girl with the shy smile. Why should he believe her.
Stephanie says she was embarrassed as a leader and commissioner. She was embarrassed as a wife. She is dealing with a lot of different things. How does she represent herself in the boardroom or on Monday Night Raw. She had nothing to do with this. She did not respond because she did not know how. Look her in the eyes and tell her that she is not the girl with the shy smile.
Mick says if he does not believe her that means she is a good liar and a bad person.
Balloons fall from the rafters
Stephanie McMahon brings out Kevin Owens for his celebration.
Kevin talks about the reaction and he tells Stephanie and Mick this is amazing. It is exactly what he wanted.
Stephanie says that Kevin does deserve it.
Kevin says he does deserve it. More than anything, he deserves the title. In fact, last week when he won the title, the entire arena was chanting 'You Deserve It' and they were 100% right.
Kevin says he does not deserve a crowd of idiots hijacking his moment. They are hijacking it again this week. You are trying to make it about yourselves. You are not great or special by chanting for him. Kevin says he is great and he is special. He says he knows he deserved this since he first set foot in this ring. Last week, he beat three superstars last week to become the champion. Triple H did give him one last little nudge, but he did 98% of the work. Triple H just made it right and put him where he belongs, at the top of the industry.
Kevin says Monday Night Raw is now officially known as the Kevin Owens Show.
Seth Rollins' music plays and he comes to the ring.
Kevin wants to know what Seth is doing here and Seth tells Kevin it has nothing to do with.
Seth wants to know why Stephanie is doing this to him. He put this company on his back and he got injured. He came back faster than anyone else and then this happened to him.
Kevin says this is all about him because it is the Kevin Owens Show.
Seth says Kevin is only a puppet right now and he tells him to shut up.
Stephanie says she did not know anything about it and Seth calls bull crap.
Mick defends Stephanie and Seth wants to know if he is in her pocket.
Mick says he has Stephanie's back.
Seth says Kevin has been Triple H's special project since he debuted in NXT. If you want to make Kevin Owens the face of the New Era, he will be the one to burn it down. You and your husband will be on your knees begging him.
Kevin says that is a great story. Where was this passion these last few months. Ever since you came back from your little injury, the architect has only been designing blueprints for total failure.
Seth punches Kevin and he kicks Owens to the floor. Seth knocks Owens off the apron.
Stephanie tells Seth that he is indefinitely suspended.
Mick tells Stephanie that Seth is not suspended. Mick says you are acting as if this is personal. This is Monday Night Raw. We do not hand out suspensions when someone is wronged. We hand out rematches. It was agreed that Mick would make the matches and he wants Stephanie to respect that. He has no love lost for Seth Rollins and he never really liked him, but he is talented. Mick is not putting that type of talent on the shelf. Seth Rollins will face Kevin Owens at Clash of the Champions.
We are back and Stephanie tells Mick if she usurps her power again, she will not have a job.
Mick says that he cares what people are saying.
Kevin Owens stops by and he points out what Seth Rollins did all while Kevin is wearing a suit and he points out that Seth was given a title match.
Mick says he is going to honor Kevin's hard work with a match against Sami Zayn.
Chris Jericho stops by and he wants to know who the hell Mick is and how could he disrespect the longest reigning Universal Champion. Why are you rewarding Seth Rollins? Is he a Holy Foley mark?
Stephanie says that she supports Mick's decision.
Mick says the stupid idiot is putting Chris in a match against Seth Rollins.
