KO bled heavily at WWE Payback 2023, and The Canadian was covered in a crimson mask. According to a Twitter user, Owens may have performed a blade job on himself during the tag team championship match at the Premium Live Event.

The spot may have taken place after Owens and Zayn were shoved into backstage equipment by the collective might of Dominik Mysterio, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor. The champions emerged wearing Pittsburgh Steelers gear.

Owens and Zayn used the hockey sticks to even the odds against the trio. All participants in the match returned to resume the action, and the ring was filled with foreign objects, such as steel chairs.

Sami tried to get the win but was stopped in his tracks by JD McDonagh. The Irish Ace took out one-half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion only to be spiked by a pop-up powerbomb by Kevin Owens.
