Kevin Owens Shares Video of Shawn Michaels Asking Him To Leave the WWE PC Before CM Punk’s Arrival

Former WWE Undisputed Champion CM Punk comes to Orlando, Florida tonight to challenge Grayson Waller for the NXT Championship on tonight’s special Wednesday edition of NXT TV. However, Punk’s bitter rival, Kevin Owens, just shared a video showing NXT executive Shawn Michaels forcing Owens to leave the WWE Performance Center due to Punk’s pending arrival.

Owens claimed he was at the Performance Center to get medical treatment on his shoulder. Michaels then alleged that Owens picked today to get treatment because Punk was also going to be at the WWE PC today for tonight’s NXT show.

Michaels said to Owens, “Look, I feel like you did this on purpose. You know that Punk’s going to be here tonight.” Owens responded, “What?! So you’re kicking me out because Punk’s about to get here for his NXT Title match? The big match?”

Michaels explained, “Look, my understanding is that you guys cannot coexist in the same damn building. That’s not on me.” He then asks Owens to come back any other day to get his medical treatment. Owens sarcastically responds that he has to check the schedule with CM Punk before the video eventually cuts off (see below).

It’s now clear that Owens is in Orlando, with CM Punk just hours away from competing for the NXT Championship against Grayson Waller later tonight. It will be interesting to see if Owens might return to the Performance Center and attempt to get involved.

Additionally, regardless of tonight’s result, CM Punk and Kevin Owens will face off once again in a No Holds Barred match on this week’s Friday Night SmackDown. The show airs on Friday, November 6 at 8:00 pm ET on USA Network.
