KO will no longer be held accountable for what he does to his opponents.

Kevin Owens seemed pretty dead set on quitting a couple weeks ago, so what brought him back? The short answer is that Acting General Manager Baron Corbin made him an offer he couldn't refuse: That Owens could do whatever he wanted to anyone he wanted without fear of reprisal. In other words, the devastation KO inflicted upon Tyler Breeze in lieu of their planned match was essentially business as usual — as was his role in the attack of The Shield and especially his bushwhacking of Bobby Lashley last week, the last of which Owens elaborated on after dismantling Prince Pretty.

Upon further reflection, KO had decided that Lashley had some business to answer for, as the former ECW Champion is the one who injured Sami Zayn and kept him from his rightful place at KO's side the last couple of months. That, Owens claimed, is Bobby Lashley’s fault. And with carte blanche at his back, KO is out to re-institute The Kevin Owens Show with "anarchy, agony and destruction" for whoever he deems deserving. And that, too, will be Bobby Lashley's fault.

As for Lashley himself, he only popped up on Raw in passing, training in the gym while 205 Live's motor-mouthed Cruiserweight Lio Rush motivated him during his lift. But it's safe to say with Owens back in play, his evenings will get a lot more eventful in the near future.
