Owens and Balor are no strangers to one another. They have crossed paths on multiple occasions, most notably during their days in NXT. At the show's The Beast In The East in 2015, Balor defeated Owens to win the NXT Championship.
On X, Balor showed his love to Owens after the latter announced that he would have to undergo neck surgery. The Judgment Day member sent a four-word message.
"I love Kevin Owens," wrote Balor.

Owens was set to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41. The two men have been feuding for months, and Orton was sidelined courtesy of a brutal Packaged Piledriver by The Prizefighter.
Orton returned at the Elimination Chamber: Toronto Premium Live Event, saving Sami Zayn from a post-match beatdown at the hands of his former tag team partner. The Viper tried hitting the Punt Kick on his arch-rival but was stopped by the security.

Following Elimination Chamber: Toronto, Orton, and Owens have been at odds for multiple weeks. The Prizefighter also cost Orton his match against Drew McIntyre on SmackDown.
