It's time for The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guests are Bron Breakker, JD McDonagh and Ilja Dragunov. Owens says that he got a call from "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels asking him to host his show tonight concerning the men in this Saturday's NXT Championship match, and says he could not turn it down after growing up watching Shawn Michaels. Owens also says that he is here to keep order, and says that he does not like his odds due to "JD McDon't Google Me" being "a creepy weirdo" who likes to stir the pot. He also says that he needs a shower after looking at JD McDonagh. McDonagh says that Owens can call him whatever he wants because he will be called NXT Champion, then says that he has been on his best behavior while Dragunov and Bron Breakker have put their hands on each other and arguing over who is stronger. After McDonagh says that he is aiming for the NXT title, Ilja Dragunov says that while he was aiming for him, hitting Bron Breakker was not a mistake because he left his gasping for air and made him mortal as he exposed a chink in his armor. He says that the bullet was meant for him at Worlds Collide, and at Halloween Havoc, he will take the title that should have been his in the first place. Breakker says it will be over his dead body, and while he felt that Torpedo Moscow, nothing was able to keep Dragunov down until he Speared him. He says it is unfortunate he had to vacate the NXT UK Championship, but as long as he breathes, the title is his. Owens says he appreciates the intensity between Breakker and Dragunov, but he also sees what is going on and that McDonagh is trying to get to the point where they tear each other apart so he can waltz in and easily win the title. He says they cannot let that happen, as nobody - not even McDonagh's mother, whom Owens says is creeped out by him - wants McDonagh as NXT Champion. McDonagh says he need no one's approval or a friend, and that it takes one Devil Inside for him to take the title. He then says that while Dragunov drove him out of NXT UK, Dragunov will never recover from the mental anguish of him taking the title. Dragunov says that no matter where they are, McDonagh will always be a contender but never a champion, but Breakker tells Dragunov that he will make the same thing true about him. Dragunov reminds Breakker that he lost the last Triple Threat Match for the NXT Championship that he was in and dares Breakker to put him in that category. Owens leaves, then Dragunov and Breakker brawl while McDonagh watches from afar and security rushes in. McDonagh goes for a cheap shot when Dragunov puts Breakker down, but Dragunov headbutts him and hits him with the Torpedo Moscow. As Dragunov lifts up the NXT Championship, Austin Theory shows up.
Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
