We begin tonight's show with the graphic In Memory of Pat Patterson on the TitanTron and the entire Smackdown roster standing on the stage, along with a number of officials including the return of Gerald Brisco.
Michael Cole mentions the passing of Pat Patterson and he says tonight they pay tribute to a man who touched their hearts and inspired everyone.
We have a moment of silence and a ten bell salute.
We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
Kayla Braxton is in the ring and she welcomes everyone and brings out her guest, the Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
Roman is joined by Paul Heyman and Jey Uso.
Roman tells Kayla she forgot something during her introduction and Paul reminds Kayla to introduce him as the reigning and defending champion and the tribal chief.
Kayla apologizes and she asks Roman about comments he made to Jey Uso last week and we have a video package.
Kayla asks Roman about Kevin saying he does not fear Roman but does Roman fear Kevin after not getting involved.
Roman tells Kayla this is the most relevant you have been involved in and you ask me stupid questions. We have a man of experience and tenure in Michael Cole and we trust you to ask questions but you blow it with a stupid question.
Kayla asks about Jey Uso and if Roman is using Jey as a pawn and manipulating him.
Roman says those are stupid words for stupid people. Roman asks if he looks like a man who manipulates. He is a protector and provider. His cousin, one half of the greatest tag teams, but what has Jey done over the last few months. Did you do your homework? Paul goes to bat for you and you blow it. Roman tells Paul to handle this amateur.
Paul says the ratings have been on the highest surge in 2020 because of Main Event Jey Uso. Paul says Roman has given his family something to aspire to . . .
Kevin Owens interrupts and he makes his way to the stage.
Kevin says he made it pretty clear last week that he doesn't fear Roman and since Roman doesn't fear him, why wait until later. We can settle this right here and right now.
Jey takes the mic from Paul who was handing it to Roman. Jey says they run this show and they accept.
Kevin says he wasn't talking to the bus boy. He was talking to the head of the table. If not now . . . what about at TLC. If you are the head of the table, let's get a table in there. Let's get a ladder and some chairs in there. Put that title on the line and settle this like men? Kevin says they can do this right now.
Roman says that is what you want. Fight me right now. That would put you on the island of relevancy. We don't back down from any man. We do not fear anyone. Jey says they accept and the head of the table accepts. If I was the man I used to be, I would whoop your ass right now. There is a time and a place. Do I look like a savage. I am a gentleman. There is a lady in the ring. He tells Owens to grow up.
Roman, Paul, and Jey leave the ring and Kevin tells Roman if he wants him to grow up, but he tells Roman to grow some balls because all Roman is is a bitch.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Jey says he may have overstepped his bounds but he had to stand up for the family. Roman tells Jey to remember that there are consequences and he tells Jey he loves him.
We are told that the Roman Reigns versus Kevin Owens match is official for TLC and it will be a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match.
