Kevin says it is time to welcome everyone to the Kevin Owens Show.  Kevin says it has been a tough year so far.  They have not secured a place on Wrestlemania yet.  That is not okay.  Two of the biggest . . . the two biggest WWE superstars in history not on Wrestlemania.  That is a travesty.

Seth says they have been screwed on the path to Wrestlemania in every single imaginable way.  The Wrestlemania gods have given them one more card to play in the Raw Tag Team Championships.  They will take the titles into Wrestlemania and do what they do best.  They make moments.

Kevin says people think his disdain for Texas might distract him from winning, but nothing will distract him from becoming tag champions next week.  Kevin says nothing will distract him like the people of Texas, JBL, HBK, or this stupid hat.  Kevin stomps on the hat and throws it away.

Kevin says they know that Chad and Otis are champions, until next week when they titles come home with them.  Seth laughs and says they like Chad and Otis, but they need it and it needs them.

Chad points out that they weaseled their way into the match.  Chad says he will explain to the morons in the crowd who went to the community college Ohio State University.  Chad Shooooshes the crowd and he talks about how their odds have decreased with Kevin and Seth in the match.

Kevin says they can't take it personally.  Kevin says they need them to get to Wrestlemania.  It is business.

Chad says they are just worried about their spot on Wrestlemania.  You have had your chances already and main evented Wrestlemanias.  They have never been on the show.  They have earned their chances to be on the greatest showcase of them all.

Seth says after they beat Chad and Otis, they can face them at Wrestlemania.

Chad Shooooshes Kevin and Seth and they get face to face.  Owens with a kick and Stunner to Chad.
