Season 1: Episode 1 of the Kevin Owens Show

After getting Shane McMahon suspended indefinitely, KO walks to the ring feeling vindicated. After all, he had been viciously attacked (something he’s not afraid to remind us) by an authority figure. And why didn’t he fight back? Because he respects authority. After laying out his plan to sue WWE, Kevin Owens then begins listing some huge changes he plans to make on SmackDown in an attempt to make it better.

The first order of business, fire Sami Zayn. Then, like a cold hearted TV executive he orders the cancellation of the Fashion Files because he doesn’t get it. Then he informs Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton they must both wear the same suit to work week. Not identical suits, 2 guys in 1 suit.

Shane McMahon’s music then hits, much to the astonishment of Kevin Owens. Luckily for KO, it’s only Dolph Ziggler who claims he is trying out a new gimmick. KO suggests it’s a good one, especially because no one else is using it right now.

Daniel Bryan eventually comes to the ring. Owens tells Daniel Bryan not worry, that he’ll have a job on the KO Show as a janitor. Daniel Bryan replies that he is not opposed to hard work, and KO should give a try sometimes. Bryan then reminds Owens that Mr. McMahon is here tonight, and Owen’s isn’t going to like what he has to say.
