Chapter 8: Rant Owens Rant

(Tuesday)

Tonight's SmackDown was the final episode before WWE's demolition derby, TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, with the match card so far and with Vince's typical mindset, he gave the Corporation members championship shots:

Chase Destiny (c) vs. Bobby Lashley - Singles match for the Universal Championship

Drew Gulak (c) vs. Tony Nese - Singles match for the Cruiserweight Championship

Pierce Johnson vs. Drew McIntyre - Singles match

Bliss Kingdom (Alexa Bliss and Billie Kay) (c) vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville - Tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Travis Sharp (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - Singles match for the Intercontinental Championship

Becky Lynch (c) vs. Mickie James - Singles match for the Raw Women's Championship

Bliss Kingdom (Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins) vs. The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) - Tag team match

??? vs. ??? - TLC match

The main event of the show was planned out by the McMahons and will be revealed later. Along with that is the Corporation's newest female member.

Before the show, there was a brawl involving former Wolf-Pack members Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler; the Prizefighter and the Show Off brawled at the arena parking lot before security separated them and Shane McMahon telling Owens to go home, but unbeknownst to the Corporation co-founder, the former Wolf-Pack member didn't go quietly.

(Bliss Kingdom's locker room)

The group saw the commotion that happened between Owens and Ziggler on the monitor.

Lexi: they were together in Corbin's group before, and now it looks like they want to tear each other apart

Finn: they were supposed to have a match, but Shane cancelled it

Pierce: typical McMahon

Travis: guys, did you see the match card for TLC?

Alex: we saw it, and we all know who made those matches; that old man

Becky: he gave title shots to his little group who didn't even earn their opportunity

Billie: well that's McMahon for you

Randy: and the McMahons said that they'll announce the main event for TLC this Sunday

Carmella: I have a feeling it won't be good

Miz: Shane is manipulative and will always gets his way

Seth: we have an eight man tag match against their stooges

Ryan: I don't think they'll be ready for the Shadow Ninja

Roman: we'll kick their asses

Lexi: guys, the show is starting

They looked at the TV, and saw the usual opening of SmackDown as the theme song played, but someone interrupted them, and that someone was the same man who Shane sent home, Kevin Owens.

Alex: I wonder what this Wolf-Pack member has to say

They watched as Kevin came through the audience with a mic and ranted.

Kevin: cut the music! I got something you say, you know what? Last week I came out here and spoke the truth about Dolph Ziggler, but it looks like tonight, someone else needs to hear the truth and that's Shane McMahon!

The Kingdom were interested of what the Prizefighter has to say about the so called "best in the world."

Kevin: Now I sat back and tried to be a good guy, a good company guy and not piss anyone off for too long, and I'm done with that because it didn't get me anything! So you know what, a while ago I watched the entire McMahon family come out to this ring and say hey right now from now on we're gonna listen to the fans and give the audience what they want, but the only thing that's happen since then is Shane McMahon has got more power, more authority and more TV time than anyone, and trust me when I say that nobody watching EVER WANTED THAT!

The crowd cheered for KO's shoot promo on Shane. Backstage, Bliss Kingdom were surprised that a former Wolf-Pack member spoke for the fans and identified the main problem that pissed the WWE Universe off.

Seth: damn

Miz: Owens speaking the truth

Alex: coming from a guy we fought before

Billie: this is getting interesting

Travis: so true

Lexi: shh, guys he's continuing

The group listened as KO continues to rant.

Kevin: you know in that way, I have to sit back every week on every show and listen to Shane McMahon call himself the best in the world, and every time that happens that makes me sick makes me want to come out here and smash my hand on this stupid table!

Then the Prodigal Son came out to confront KO.

Shane: cut his mic!

Kevin: you need to hear this! This is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen, I've been watching WWE-

KO's mic was cut off, but the Prizefighter wasn't done, he grabbed another mic from the timekeeper's area.

Kevin: hey, guess what idiot, there's more than one microphone and I'm not done! You know what every time you call yourself the best in the world, that is an insult and a slap to the face to every single person in the back in the locker room who breaks their back week in, week out, on TV, on the road, around the world to be WWE Superstars, and it makes me sick, it makes me sick, it makes everybody sick! And you know what happens when you call yourself the best in the world, everybody back there including me is thinking Shane McMahon can kiss my ass!

KO's mic was once again cut off by Shane, but Owens didn't back down; he grabbed Byron Saxton's headset and continued.

Kevin: yeah, I'm not done! I would never call myself the best in the world. but there's a hundred people back there waiting for opportunities, and you take TV time from Apollo Crews, Buddy Murphy, Ali, Liv Morgan, Asuka, AOP, Kairi Sane!

Shane had enough of Kevin, so he sent out a team of security guards to escort KO out, but the Prizefighter escaped just in time before security can even caught up with him.

(Backstage)

Bliss Kingdom were both shocked and impressed of Kevin's pipebomb promo.

Alex: wow...

Travis: Kevin spoke for the fans

Sasha: he spoke our mission of ridding the McMahons

Billie: it's true, we haven't seen those guys Kevin mentioned, well except Murphy since he's a Corporation member

Finn: you got anything to say, Lex?

Lexi: well Kevin spoke the truth about Shane, so I was thinking

Alex: babe, you can't be serious

Lexi: I am

Alex: babe, Owens was one of our enemies before; he was with Corbin in the Wolf-Pack

Lexi: well babe, the Wolf-Pack broke up, and you heard those fans out there when Kevin ranted

Miz: Owens spoke the truth and mentioned how power abusive Shane is

Randy: well in a few moments, we'll find out what's the main event at TLC.

(30 minutes later)

The Corporation were in the ring with the McMahons taking center stage. The Chairman got on the mic.

Vince: the Corporation are out here to witness who will be in the main event at TLC, but we forgot to invite a group, so Bliss Kingdom, bring your sorry asses out here now!

(Rise plays)

The crowd cheered as the rebel faction came out and gathered on the stage as they stared daggers to the Corporation and the McMahons.

Shane: good, you're all here; I assumed you saw what happened earlier tonight with Kevin Owens, and Corbin he was in your group

The Lone Wolf shrugged his shoulders.

Stephanie: the reason why we invited you all out here is that we're announcing the main event for TLC, but before we get to that, I promised that we have one more female member to our group, and Bliss Kingdom, she's someone you're familiar with.

Stephanie held her hand out as a familiar theme played.

Out came the Sassy Southern Belle and the former leader of the First Army, Lacey Evans, who has now aligned herself with the McMahons' Corporation. The Kingdom were shocked to see the First Army leader now a Corporation member; the McMahons and the Corporation clapped for Lacey; Corbin held the ropes, so that the Sassy Southern Belle can get in the ring.

Stephanie: ladies and gentlemen, the newest member of the Corporation; Lacey Evans!

The crowd booed as Bliss Kingdom looked on with disgust.

Stephanie: and now with that done, let's get to the TLC main event

Shane: yes, the main event of TLC will be a 6 on 4 handicap TLC match; the participants are Baron Corbin, Buddy Murphy, Elias, Andrade, Batista and... me!

The crowd booed louder as the so called best in the world inserted himself in another match.

Shane: and our opponents are, let's see; Randy Orton and Alex Auditore!

The mentor and protege walked down to the middle of the ramp.

Shane: oh, where are your other partners; oh that's right, they're occupied with matched against our guys, so I'll change it to a 6 on 2-

However, Shane was interrupted by another familiar theme.

Out came the man who ranted about Shane taking too much screen time, the Prizefighter and ex Wolf-Pack member Kevin Owens. Shane wasn't too happy to see KO, but what pissed him off is Kevin standing side by side with Randy and Alex. The Pinoy Pharaoh got on the mic.

Alex: Shane, looks like we have another partner to our team

KO stared daggers at Shane.

Alex: and no need to change the stipulation to a 6 on 3 because this Sunday, you'll meet our fourth partner and keep your eyes out because this man is fast and can strike and disappear in a Flash

Then the same video that was posted on WWE's Instagram account played. The gold lightning bolts flashed as the same figure ran with full speed and left an ominous warning saying, "Run McMahon Run!"

The vignette provided a distraction as the entire Bliss Kingdom rushed to the ring and brawled with the Corporation. Kevin fought side by side with the rebel faction as he threw Andrade over the top rope before giving Elias a Stunner. The Corporation scurried away as Bliss Kingdom stood tall in the ring. The TLC main event was set.

(Backstage, Bliss Kingdom's locker room)

Kevin was invited to the Kingdom's locker room.

Kevin: look I know you guys don't trust me since I was in the Wolf-Pack with Baron Corbin, but what I said out there is the truth

Miz: you spoke the painful truth

Roman: I know Shane was not too happy of that

Alex: but may I ask, why do you want to go against your former leader in Corbin?

Kevin: once the Wolf-Pack broke up; I was treated like a joke

Lexi: and how we can trust you?

Kevin: you heard what I said earlier; I'm sick of Shane calling himself the best in the world and I'm sick of him taking too much TV time

Finn: well our mission is not just to rid Shane, but the entire McMahon family

Travis: all of us here want the McMahons out and Triple H to take over

Kevin: Hunter was a mentor to me when we're in NXT, Finn

Finn: exactly

Sasha: so Kevin, are you saying you want to join our fight?

Kevin: if it means to get rid of Shane and giving those people I mentioned TV time, then yes and this Sunday we will beat the Corporation

Randy: alright, good enough; Finn?

Finn: Kev made his points; Lexi?

Lexi: okay, Kevin Owens, ex-member of the Wolf-Pack; as leader, I recruit you to our resistance

Kevin: thank you guys

With that, the Prizefighter, a former member of the Wolf-Pack and the man who spoke for all the fans, Kevin Owens has joined the rebellious Bliss Kingdom and joined Randy and Alex's team at TLC.

(TLC main event)

Randy Orton, Alex Auditore, Kevin Owens and ??? vs. Shane McMahon, Baron Corbin, Buddy Murphy, Batista, Elias and Andrade - 6 on 4 handicap TLC match
