Kevin tells a story about his first actual conversation with McMahon, and it took place shortly before he first appeared on Raw to confront John Cena. The WWE chairman didn't want any of the other talent to know what Owens was doing there that night. As far as they were concerned he wanted them to think he was just an NXT guy there to do a dark match or something.

KO confirmed that his boss wanted him in his wrestling gear, and this prompted him to ask what he should tell the other wrestlers who see him and inquire why he has his ring gear on. Vince looked at him and said "Well...why don't you just tell them to go f*ck themselves."

Owens laughs at the idea that he's supposed to walk around the WWE locker room on his first day telling all the veterans to f*ck off just for asking him a simple question, and says it really kicked things off between he and Vince in an interesting fashion.
