The two discuss how when Owens first arrived at the Performance Center, they had a day where they were videoing everyone in their gear for the entrance packages and he didn't even have a name yet. He had gone and had a nice singlet made because he expected that there was no way WWE would allow him to use the shorts and t-shirt look that he'd been wrestling in for years.

Enzo Amore looked at him in the singlet and asked what he was doing and wanted to know where his shorts and shirt were, saying "No, you gotta be you!" He got his shorts out of his bag, turned his Guns N' Roses t-shirt inside out, cut the sleeves off and used Finn Balor's paint to write "Fight" on it.

He fully expected to get a call the next day telling him to come back and do it over in his singlet but that never happened, and once he had chosen his new name the concept artwork that he was sent by Triple H all featured him in his current shorts and shirt gear. He laughed and says "This is fantastic, I did it!"
