“I am the king of this place. You don’t say anything to me at all, ever. You came in the ring and interrupted me; that’s bad enough. You sit over there. Be quiet, be pretty; that’s all you do good. Actually, you know what? You’re not even that pretty. Just sit there and shut up.” — Kevin Owens to Byron Saxton as they were sat at the announce position.

Moments after his victory over Sami Zayn, Owens summoned Saxton into the ring and insulted the luckless announcer and gloated about his triumph over Zayn. Then Owens commandeered a set of headphones and hijacked the announce desk.

There, as the above transcript confirms, Owens’ verbal assault on Saxton intensified. When Saxton dared to challenge him, Owens added: “Byron, just . . . please, go call your mom or something. Nobody else wants to hear you.”

Between his dazzling bout with Zayn and perfectly executed put-downs of the wishy-washy Saxton, Owens was the star of Payback.

Why isn’t this man in the main event?
