Center in Louisville, Kentucky as Big E and Owens are backstage talking. Owens has been working hard to prove he’s not a turncoat like he was in the past.

Fans chant “You look stupid!” at Rollins and he says these morons in Louisville know nothing about fashion. Rollins says based on what we just saw to open the show, we need to find out tonight who exactly is Kevin Owens? Is he the Prize Fighter, the hero, the man who will do anything and put his body on the lien in the ring for the WWE Universe? Or is he a snake, a gutless, spineless coward? Is Owens a liar? What do you guys think? The boos get louder as Rollins laughs.
