It's time for The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guest is "Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Owens says he has realized that calling Texas "the ass of America" was a bit too far, then apologizes to every Texan out there and says he is sorry for telling "the absolute God's honest trust about your home state." He says that Texas is worse than he remembered and that the fans are eagerly anticipating him bringing out Austin, then says he will bring him out when he feels like it because it is his show and he is not done talking about how much he despises him. Owens calls Austin "the worst role model in WWE history" and that he will tell Austin how much he sucks and that Austin will not do anything but sit there and take it because he will hit him with a Stunner and pour a beer on his head if he does not. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up, walks back and forth on the stage to raise his fists up, then comes back in an ATV and rides around the ring in it. As Austin kicks the signs and the easels they are on out of the ring, Owens says this is his show, not Austin's, and tells Austin to take a seat. Austin eventually takes a seat, and when Owens thanks him for accepting his invitation and says he just wants a conversation, Austin verbally tears him a new one for wanting a conversation after talking trash about him and Texas. Owens defends his position on why he hates Texas and says that he would move to Mexico, but Austin tells him that in five seconds, 79,000 people are about to call him an asshole. Owens tells Austin not to be a rude, stereotypical Texan and to be a sophisticated French Canadian like him, then admits that he lied about getting Austin on the show and that he wants a fight even though he has a bad back right now. Owens tells Austin he wanted to challenge him to a match, and even though Austin's last match was nineteen years ago and his body was shot then and is shot now, he wants a no-holds-barred match right here, right now. He then says he can look in Austin's eyes and tell that Austin knows that he cannot beat him, then tells him he is right and to stop embarrassing himself and go back to his ranch if he will not accept his challenge. Austin talks about he had his first match in Dallas, Texas and says he could have his last match in Dallas, then asks the fans if they want him to have a match with "this sack of shit." The crowd says "Hell yeah," then Austin calls for a referee.
