The face of America of your brand new three-time United States Champion Kevin Owens kicked off the show in a brand new suit to celebrate the occasion. He said it just felt right to be back on Smackdown with his title where it belongs, and announced the return of the Kevin Owens Open Challenge…next week. The crowd wasn’t happy about that. AJ Styles came out but KO cut his music and demanded that Styles congratulate him and concede that he was the better man at WWE Battleground. Owens said that AJ would never get a rematch and as he stated, there would be no title defense tonight against him or anyone else. But hold the phone…
CHRIS JERICHO IS BACK, BAYBAY! The WWE legend strolled down to the ring looking super fly in his brand new scarf and leather jacket. He announces the return of Jericho, and when Owens tries to protest he screams at him to be “QUIET!” over and over again. Drink it in, maaaan! Y2J stakes his claim to a rematch for the U.S. Championship and vows to get revenge for the last time he was on Smackdown, when he was taken out on a stretcher. Styles cuts him off and says that he’s next in line, and Jericho asks him if he knows what happens when somebody tries to cut in line…. AJ Styles, you just made the list! Owens had left while they were going back and forth, and Chris called him a stupid idiot. Out came Shane McMahon, who asked the champion to stick around for his announcement. It’s official, Kevin Owens will defend the title in a triple threat match against Jericho and Styles, and that match will happen TONIGHT!
