INTERVIEW: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn talk about the unfairness of their situation and how KO or Sami will work themselves to the bone trying to make sure their friend ends up employed here. Sami plans on beating Randy Orton just like he did two months ago, as KO's facial expression seem to express a different sentiment. Either way at the end of the day this is The Sami & Kevin Show and the WWE Champion will take a loss tonight!

PREVIOUSLY ON THE FASHION FILES: Fandango reveals to The Ascension that Breezango are going to face The Bludgeon Brothers at Clash of Champions which leaves Tyler Breeze looking a little shocked at the decision.

LAST SUNDAY AT WWE CLASH OF CHAMPIONS: As newfound friends of Breezango, The Ascension volunteered to face The Bludgeon Brothers in Breezango's place. Fandango and Tyler Breeze aren't looking for charity but The Ascension put it in a way that they'd be softening up Harper and Rowan for them (like loosening up a jar lid).

In reality, while they also want to make a name for themselves by taking down Harper and Rowan, The Ascension just don't want to see their new friends annihilated tonight like so many others that have fallen at the feet of The Bludgeon Brothers.
