Here’s what KO wrote:
“BALLZ!!!
Now that I have your attention, I have great news for you all!
I am proud to officially announce that I will be competing in my first matches as your new, true WWE Champion on this year’s Holiday loop (that’s a term people in ‘the business’ use that refers to a string of consecutive shows in different cities over a short period of time) starting in Jacksonville on the 26th, followed by 3 more shows in Florida and then one in Detroit for some reason.
Be there to witness history!
Oh, the RAW crew has shows too. Whatever.”
