Kevin Owens is all about sneaky inside references and in-jokes like this.

Before sitting down to kick off his segment with Sasha and Bianca Belair, the 'KO Show' host looked over at Banks and said, "Thanks for all the paychecks". Sasha didn't react at all to that, and Owens quickly moved on with the questions he had scripted.

Paychecks? Was this Kevin's way of saying that Banks is the most important star in the company? Or, was he joking that she'd paid to be on his show more than once? Who knows. Maybe Owens meant he was only on SmackDown this week because of Sasha's feud with Bianca?
