On this week's show, Kevin Owens was interrupted by MVP, who reminded the former WWE Universal Champion of Bobby Lashley. He read a text from Lashley and stated that The Almighty would be in the WWE Title match at Day 1.
Shortly after, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin joined MVP on the ramp, and The Hurt Business taunted KO.
Following the interruption, Kevin Owens faced Cedric in a singles match. He ended up winning the bout after hitting a powerbomb and a Stunner.

After the match, Benjamin went after him only to get hit by a Stunner. Hence, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion took to social media to send a message to The Prizefighter.
"@FightOwensFight I see you’re a bit of a sneaky guy. If you survive @fightbobby and that’s a big If, let’s fight," Benjamin tweeted.
