Owens disagrees and says he never invited Styles out here. Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers interrupt next, Mahal says he was supposed to be the guest on Highlight Reel, he and Owens call Styles a rude American and then Mahal promises that he's beating Randy Orton for the World Title, just like he beat Orton last week. Owens says Styles will lose to Jinder Mahal tonight just like he's losing to Owens on Sunday. Styles gets in the ring and Owens runs away.
