He then encourages the WWE fanbase to ‘WOO’ with Ric Flair, but the O.C. interrupt them.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson come out to say that everyone should be talking about them as the best tag team in the world instead of past wrestlers.

Kevin Owens retorts that everyone should talk about when Gallows and Anderson actually had hair or when AJ Styles lost the United States Championship to Rey Mysterio last week on Raw.

The Street Profits them come out to approach The O.C. to the aid of Kevin Owens. They are getting ready for a match against The O.C. and Kevin Owens goes to the back to get his popcorn while Flair watches on from ringside. And the match begins.
