After the break, Shane McMahon invites Kevin Owens to the ring.

Shane offers KO his job back and promises to get rid of his fine. He says they can restart with a clean slate and offers his hand. Owens thinks about it for a moment before calling Shane an idiot. He says he wants to see Shane get fired and challenges him to one final match. If Owens wins, Shane is fired, but if Shane wins, KO stays fired. He also says it needs to be a ladder match with the contract above the ring.
