Last week, Shane McMahon went over the edge and attacked Kevin Owens. Now that he is indefinitely suspended in his role in charge of Smackdown, what will his father do tonight when he confronts Kevin Owens?
We are in Las Vegas, Nevada and your announcers are Corey Graves, Tom Phillips, and Byron Saxton.
Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.
Kevin welcomes everyone to the Kevin Owens Show. He says you better get used to hearing that because you saw what Shane McMahon did to him last week. Kevin says he did not fight back because he respects authority. Shane McMahon is a figure of authority and he put his hands on Kevin. That is why Kevin is suing everyone in WWE until Smackdown Live is no more. It will be Kevin Owens presents the Kevin Owens Show starring Kevin Owens. There will be a few changes and improvements. Some people are getting fired. The first person to get fired is Sami Zayn. . . gone. Tom Phillips and Byron are not getting fired, but there will be an improvement to the announce table. You will have to wear the same suit. Not two guys in two suits, it will be two guys in the same suit since you sound the same.
The Fashion Files are cancelled because he doesn't get it. Kevin says there is one individual he needs to speak to so there is no need to drag this out. Kevin tells Mr. McMahon to come out.
Shane McMahon's music plays and Kevin freaks out.
Instead of Shane, it is Dolph Ziggler dressed liek Shane and doing the Dolph-O Dance.
Dolph says he tried a new entrance and he will put it in the maybe file.
Dolph goes to the back.
Since there is no McMahon in this building, he will tell you how the Kevin Owens . . .
Daniel Bryan's music plays and he makes his way onto the stage and he Yeses his way to the ring. Kevin does not appear happy.
Daniel says he hates to break it to Kevin but he does not run the show tonight, he does. Daniel says he is happy that Kevin is having fun because the fun and games end soon.
Kevin says he is happy that Daniel is happy. Kevin says he has big plans for Daniel as the Kevin Owens Show resident janitor.
Daniel says that he has no problem with hard work and manual labor and Kevin should try it. Daniel says that Mr. McMahon will be here very soon. Daniel tells Kevin he won't like what Mr. McMahon has to say.

Jinder Mahal and the Singhs walk in the back as we go to commercial.
We are back and the Singhs introduce Jinder Mahal.
They make their way to the ring.
Jinder mentions his next opponent Shinsuke Nakamura. Such a wealth of experience. A charisma and energy never seen before in the WWE. Jinder says his preparation is physical and mental. How will he know what the artist is thinking, he gets inside his head.
Jinder puts a photo of Nakamura on the TitanTron and Jinder starts to laugh. Do you see inspiration or motivation in this photo? Jinder says he sees constipation and The Singhs laugh. He says it looks like Nakamura is trying to sculpt a masterpiece but he forgot the most important phrase, where is the bathroom.
We see another photo of Nakamura on the TitanTron. It is Nakamura dressed like Michael Jackson thinking what can he rip off next.
We see a third photo and Jinder says that is the look on his face when someone yells out GODZILLA.
Jinder asks if you are laughing at what he is saying. This is the American way. Anything he says, you have already thought. Shinsuke, you do not want to hold this title because these people will treat you the same way. They will chant USA when you speak (which they just started because Jinder says it). They will say that you are different. Jinder advises Nakamura to walk away because it will not be worth the humiliation you feel when you face the Modern Day Maharaja.
Jinder speaks in Punjabi.

Sami says he would rather go back to wrestling in armories than work for Kevin.
