As expected, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn had a very violent and at times, over the top match. Their aggression was great and the announcers did a good job getting the drama of the match over, which ended when Owens and Zayn threw back to their NXT match from years ago.
After Owens won and walked toward the back, he reversed course and started pulling the mat up to expose the arena floor. Randy Orton's music played and he walked every so slowly toward the ring before jumping in and hitting Owens with a RKO. He teased punting Owens, but officials ran in to stop him.

The match was unsanctioned which led to them darkening the arena and having what looked to be something like a spotlight following them wherever they went. It was a cool look, but would've probably been better as the last match on the show rather than in the middle.
The match was semi-dangerous with Kevin Owens hitting himself in the face with a chair after it hit the top rope. They both went through tables to the floor with great velocity and used steel chairs as a landing spot.
Zayn went for the Helluva kick in the corner, but Owens moved out of the way and pulled the referee right into the kick. Charles Robinson came down to count a pin attempt and when Zayn kicked out, Owens took it out by clotheslining Robinson.

Another table was set up and Owens put Zayn through it with a Fisherman Buster. Zayn kicked out at two.
Sayn brought a steel chair covered in barbed wire into the ring and dropped Owens face first on it and then gave him a Blue Thunder bomb on it while it was perched between two other chairs. Owens made a comeback and draped a chair around Zayn's neck and ran the chair into the ring post twice. He then hit him with two power bombs on the corner of the apron to finally win the match.
