Multiple stunners, multiple splashes and even Owens going through one of the announcers’ tables was not enough to end this match early. The two teams were in a bitter dogfight until the very end.

Jimmy and Jey gained the advantage toward the final half of the match and even hit Owens with simultaneous superkicks followed by Uso Splashes in an attempt to pin Owens. It didn’t work. The two tried again to put Owens out once and for all with another two superkicks but Zayn got back into the match.
Owens connected with a suplex from the top rope on Jey Uso and tagged in Zayn, who immediately came in an hit with three Helluva Kicks.
Zayn then pinned Uso for the win. The longtime friends were now tag-team champions.
Ripley and Flair were in a fight for the ages.
The two would go after each other with a flurry of strikes and kicks. Ripley went for her finishing maneuver, the Riptide, early in the match but Flair countered with an incredible DDT.
