Kevin Owens and Randy Orton squared off in a singles match at WWE Crown Jewel. The rivalry between the two stars has gotten extremely personal in the past few weeks on WWE SmackDown. Owens accused Orton and Cody Rhodes of being involved in his dune buggy accident ahead of the show.

The action started before the bell, as Owens decided to grab a steel chair and bash Randy Orton over his back before the referee took it away. The Prizefighter then hit the official with a Stunner and continued to attack The Viper.

Orton then grabbed the chair and unloaded several shots on Owens. The RAW and SmackDown General Managers made their way to the ring, and the match was "waved off," according to Michael Cole. The Viper then started beating down security and planted Owens with a DDT.

Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis got into the ring, and Orton hit the RAW General Manager with an RKO. The action spilled out of the ring as the brawl between the former friends continued into the crowd. Kevin Owens hit The Legend Killer with an Elbow Drop through multiple tables as the crowd chanted, "This is awesome!"

Kevin Owens turned heel by attacking Cody Rhodes in the parking lot following Bad Blood. It will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for Owens and Orton following their chaotic battle at Crown Jewel.
