The KO Show:
Kevin Owens gushes over his Randy Orton before inviting him to the ring for the KO show. Orton joins Owens in the ring. Owens notes that they both want to leave WrestleMania, the champion, but their hate for the United States Champion, Logan Paul, unites them. Owens asks Orton on a scale of one-ten how much he hates Paul. Orton says 11. Paul appears on the mini-tron and promises to leave WrestleMania the champion.
Paul is at the WrestleMania arena, which is right across the street. Owens notes that Paul talks a lot of trash for someone just across the street. Orton asks Owens if he is thinking what he’s thinking. Owens says yes. Both men hop the barricade and head out of the arena. After Orton and Owens leave through the crowd, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller roll out from under the ring and give chase. Looks like Paul’s trap didn’t anticipate Owens and Orton leaving the ring.
After the break, Owens grabs a golf cart. Orton hops on the back and holds on for dear life as Owens drives across the street. Waller and Theory chase behind on foot.
