Kevin Owens vs. Alex Riley

Riley actually got a lot of chants to begin the match.

The former Analyst and Owens would begin by battling in the corner and then into the middle of the ring, with Riley taking advantage. This led to more “Ri-ley” chants.

Owens would eventually draw in Riley and slam him onto the entrance ramp as we head to break.

Coming back, we see the two in the middle of the ring trading punches. Owens then hit a senton, nearly getting the pinfall.

Riley would start to work his way back, getting a stiff punch on the champ and hitting him with a clothesline.

Riley would climb to the top rope, looking for The Blockbuster. However, Owens would knock him off. This set Owens up for the Cannonball, and as Riley got up, the former Kevin Steen hit the pop-up power-bomb for the win.

3.2 out of 5 stars – Decent match, however, this rating is not for just the match.

As Owens went to attack Riley, Sami Zayn made the save and starting hitting his former best friend with punches. Random guys from the locker room would run out to separate them.

Zayn would walk back into the ring, climb to the top rope and hit a 360 degree flip onto everyone! Wow! Owens would scurry away with his belt.

The show ends with Zayn standing tall in the ring to close the show and set up tomorrow night’s taping.
