We begin with a look at what happened last week between Kevin Owens and the Family of the Table.
We are in St. Petersburg, Florida and your announcers are Corey Graves and Michael Cole.
Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.
Kevin tells Roman he has been waiting for this all week. He tells Roman to get out here and do this now.
Kevin says he wants to address something since Roman isn't ready. You had a message for his family and Kevin says he heard that message. He had a talk with his family this week. What happened is he told them not to watch their match at TLC under any circumstance. Kevin says he is afraid of what his family will think of and look at him after what he does to Roman on Sunday. Kevin says he heard Roman tell Jey that he cares about how your sons look at you. Kevin says if your kids judge you by your actions over the last few weeks, they know their dad is nothing but a hypocrite. You hit me from behind and you used your family members as pawns and that is pathetic.
Every time you look in the mirror, you know that is a fact. You are not the head of the table. You are a coward.
Paul Heyman is on the TitanTron and he tells Kevin that Roman comes out on his time. Paul says he wants to confess his sins. He made a mistake. I said on Talking Smack that I thought you were a masochist to come back after what happened last week. Roman is a sadist, especially when it comes to putting down a beating on you. Kevin is not a masochist, you are a martyr. You are willing to pay any sacrifice to become Universal Champion. That makes you dangerous. Mutilation will not stop you. You will have to be eliminated and taken out.
Kevin says he has heard enough of Paul's BS so if Roman is not going to come out to find him, Kevin says he will find Roman.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Adam Pearce tries to talk some sense into Kevin Owens but as Kevin tries to get into Roman's locker room, Roman Reigns' music plays and he makes his way to the ring with Paul Heyman.
Kevin watches on Roman's monitor while Roman enters the ring.
Paul hands Roman the mic so Roman can talk.
Roman tells Kevin he doesn't want to hurt him or his family. You are running around here and telling people I am a bad guy, but I am not a bad guy. I am doing what it takes to be THE guy. Something you don't understand and it is above your pay grade and level you are at. Stay in your lane. Roman says he is going to show that he is a good guy. I will give you the same opportunity I gave my own flesh and blood.
Acknowledge me as your tribal chief. Acknowledge me as the head of your family's table. If you don't or can't, I'm going to end you. You are not even going to make it to TLC on Sunday and won't make it out of here tonight. Apologize and tell me the words I want to hear.
