We are back and Kevin Owens is in the ring for the KO Show as part of the Brand to Brand Invitational.
Kevin welcomes everyone to the KO Show. He is pumped to be here because after the draft, this might be his new home. Kevin says he jumped at the chance when WWE asked him to host a special edition of the KO Show. There is someone on Smackdown he has a lot of questions for. He might be on Raw, but he has been paying attention to Smackdown. That person is his guest, Alexa Bliss.
Kevin thanks Alexa for accepting his invitation to appear tonight. Kevin says he has so many questions about what is happening to her. He mentions the change in her and the shift in attitude. He mentions an anger and it reminds him of what he sees in his nemesis on Raw, Aleister Black.
Alexa says she does not know what Kevin means.
Kevin says Alexa isn't the same person he met at the Performance Center five years ago. She was always happy and made you want to laugh.
Alexa says people change and she suggests that Kevin change to be better.
Kevin says he has done terrible things and he has tried to change. Tonight is not about him changing but it is about your changes. I need to understand this 'darkness' that is taking over you. If I can understand this, I can understand what is happening to Aleister Black.
Alexa says people fear what they don't understand and she asks if you have ever been around him. It is terrifying and captivating at the same time. Your spine gets so cold when he is around you. When he touches you, you go numb. When he looks at you, it is like he is looking through you. You cannot look away.
Kevin says he doesn't think they are talking about Aleister Black. Kevin says it is like Alexa is brainwashed.
Alexa says her brain has been washed. The lies have been washed away. She says she has been cleansed by him.
Kevin asks if he is here.
Alexa says he is everywhere and she says 'Let Him In'
The lights go down and then the lights go red and The Fiend with a Mandible Claw on Owens.
Alexa stares at The Fiend and he offers his hand to her. Alexa gets up and joins him. Alexa smiles.

We take a look at the recent events between Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Sasha Banks makes her way to the ring.
We go to the mystery woman and she says you have to take a good hard look in the mirror to remember who you are. You get lost on the way and she knows who to blame. All of you. You wanted me to do things your way and by your rules. You wanted me to dance around. Where did that get me? Nowhere. Then I remembered that I am Carmella and I am better than each and every one of you. I am not your princess. This time, I am untouchable . . . unless I don't want to be.
Sasha is in the ring and she asks if not being medically cleared was going to stop me from beating you down at Clash of Champions. After all of these years of using me, you should have learned how to have a backbone. You are nothing but a coward. A coward that needed me time and time again to keep your title. You used me to become the longest reigning Women's Champion in Smackdown history. I know you are not here tonight because you are scared of me. Come next week, it is going to be me versus you for the thing you love the most, the Smackdown Women's Championship.
When it comes down to you and me, and there is nobody there to save you . . . (Sasha removes her neck brace), you don't stand a chance . . . BITCH.
