NXT Championship Match
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Sami Zayn

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Kevin Owens came out in John Cena’s shirt. Pure gold.

Owens would begin by going out of the ring before Sami Zayn could do anything. All part of the mind games. Zayn would hop out of the ring and attack Owens to get things started.

The two would start brawling outside the ring with Zayn in full control. He threw punches and swung Owens into the steeps steps, twice. Zayn would get Owens over the barricade and the two would brawl around the fans! However, Owens would get Zayn up for the powerbomb, but the former champion escaped by grabbing the railing.

They would get back into the ring and Zayn hit a big blue thunderbomb for a near-fall. Zayn would then get up Owens for a big back-body suplex for another near-fall.

Owens would start to get an edge but missed a cannonball. Zayn would hit the exploder suplex on Owens and lined him up but he rolled out of the way from the Helluva Kick.

As the two went out of the ring, Zayn went to attack Owens. However, the champion picked him up and hit a huge pop-up powerbomb into the ring apron. This left Zayn injured on the ground. While the referees tended to him, Owens continued to attack and had to be held back.

Owens would drag Zayn into the ring and look to attack him, but NXT GM William Regal came running in to try to stop him. Owens refused and Regal fought back but he countered.

As Owens was about to bash Zayn with a chair, some unusual music started to play.

SAMOA JOE!

Joe came down to the ring to stop Owens before he could do anything. However, he scurried from the ring before Joe could get to him.

Rob’s Note: Unbelievable. Awesome. Amazing. Wow.
