the match and Lesnar won the title. On the March 7 episode of Raw, Owens and Rollins failed to capture the Raw Tag Team Championship in a triple threat tag team match against RK-Bro and Alpha Academy. Later that night, Owens announced that he was hosting "The KO Show" at WrestleMania 38 and invited "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to be the guest, who accepted the invitation the next day. In the main event on the first night of WrestleMania 38 on April 2, Owens revealed that the invitation to the show was a ruse and challenged Austin to an impromptu No Holds Barred match, which Austin accepted, 19 years after his retirement. Following his loss to Austin, Owens was escorted out of the stadium by Dallas police officers. On the following episode of Raw, Owens, who admitted he made a mistake by challenging Austin to a match, was interrupted by a clean shaven Elias, who claimed to be Elias’ younger brother Ezekiel. In the following weeks on Raw, Owens entered a feud with Ezekiel after refusing to believe he was really Elias's brother, and thought he was actually Elias himself. On the May 23 episode of Raw, Owens challenged Ezekiel to a match at Hell in a Cell, which he accepted. At the event on June 5, Owens defeated Ezekiel. On the August 8 episode of Raw, Owens stretchered Ezekiel out of the arena after attacking him with an Apron Powerbomb, a move he had not used in years, thus ending their feud. This would be the final appearance of the Ezekiel character in the WWE, as he would go back to performing under the Elias gimmick afterwards. Return of the Prizefighter (2022–present) The following week on Raw, having not held a championship in WWE for over five years, Owens said it was time to bring back the "Prizefighter". On the August 22 episode of Raw, with his old titantron and duct tape "KO" tank top, he answered an open challenge by Alpha Academy and defeated Chad Gable before fending off an attack from Gable and Otis afterwards, turning face in the process. On the September 19th Raw Owens would receive help from Johnny Gargano during his match with Austin Theory, leading to a backstage argument with Alpha Academy where Owens and Gargano would accept a challenge by Gable for a tag team match the following week.
