We are back and Austin Theory is in the ring with a mic.

Austin asks everyone if Johnny Gargano disappointed you. Did he not walk into the unrealistic, depressing Portland sunset? Somebody had to show him how it works around here. To him, all Johnny Wrestling is is an overrated bottom feeding fish at the bottom of the food chain. Did he ruin Johnny Gargano’s big moment?

Kevin Owens interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.

Austin says he is the future. He is sick of dealing with Kevin, Tyson Fury, and Johnny Gargano. He is going to take over this industry.

Kevin says we heard all of that last week, well you were trying but had issues with your jaw. We have heard this for months. You talk about how you are young and you are the future. Last week, I looked you in the eye and said you WERE the handpicked future of the company. That is not the case any more. That isn’t how it works. Him and Johnny don’t look like Austin.

Austin says no one looks like him. He says he knows why they are jealous. He has done more in the last five months than Johnny and Kevin have done in the last five years.

Kevin says statements like that show how much of a delusional jackass you are. Look at what you have accomplished. It was by being given opportunities you didn’t deserve. You won Money in the Bank in a match you weren’t in. I was given a title on a silver platter too, but that is where the similarities end. We are complete opposites and I could not be prouder of that fact. How many guys in the last two decades have come by in WWE who were just like you. Young, chiseled out of stone, and then they fizzled out? There were hundreds. How many like me and Johnny Gargano have come to WWE and made it to the level they did. People like you are a dime a dozen while people like me and Johnny are one in a million. These people need someone like him or Johnny because they are the heart of the business. You are the appendix and are completely disposable. I hope you are everything you claim to be, but I have been watching you and listening to you. I don’t think you have what it takes to be the future.

Kevin tells Austin to prove him and everyone else wrong. Do you know how to do it? You stop thinking about the moments that were handed to you and you make your moments. You put your ego at the door and you drive yourself to get better. You leave everything in the ring every time. That is how you prove him wrong. That is how you become the future and the face of WWE.

Theory flexes and he tells Kevin he will never be like him.

Kevin says talking sense into him didn’t work so, . . .

Kevin slaps Theory and then they exchange punches. Owens takes Theory down and he punches Austin. They exchange punches in the corner and Owens with kicks until officials come to the ring. Theory with punches to Owens. Owens with a boot to the head and they continue to exchange punches. Theory is pulled to the floor by officials. Owens with a running splash and more punches. Theory misses with the briefcase and Owens with a kick but Theory escapes the stunner.
