In a pre-taped promo Kevin Owens calls out Eddie Gilbert. “Eddie Gilbert, we’re both returning to WCW from time away and maybe you think that’s why you should come after me, but you’re putting your nose in where it doesn’t belong. I’ve got unfinished business with the nWo, but if you want to get in my way, fine, I’ll take care of you first. It’s only an idiot who stands on the tracks when the train is coming through and it’s coming through on you.”
