Randy Orton kicked off WWE SmackDown but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Kevin Owens. Owens said that he was wrong to have attacked Randy and that the Viper did not deserve it. However, Owens added Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes deserved what they got.

Owens added that he was angry and messed up but then said that he would forgive Randy for siding with Cody. Orton thanked Owens for saving Melo from the punt kick last week and said that he had changed and grown for the better as well.

Kevin then said that they needed to look towards the future and suggested forming a tag team. Orton said that it was intriguing but told Owens to take the apology and shove it up his rear end. The two started bickering and calling each other names before Randy challenged Owens to a WrestleMania match.
