#3 Kevin Owens vs Braun Strowman

Enter captio
Surprisingly great

If you have not watched the PPV and are just tuning in to read the results, I'll bet that you are surprised. How the hell did KO defeat Strowman? Believe me, his victory was strictly an on-paper victory.

Braun Strowman and Kevin Owens were handed a terrible story-line. KO trying to befriend Strowman was one of the most pathetic story-lines of this PPV. After that dreadful porta-potty massacre, I lost all hope for this feud. Surprisingly, KO and Strowman almost stole the show.

The match began with KO trying to run away from Strowman. After some unsuccessful attempts and some goading by The Monster in The Bank, Owens finally decided to fight him. He executed a series of picture-perfect signature moves including the superkick and frog splash. When that didn't work, KO handcuffed Strowman to the ropes.

Braun broke the handcuffs and proceeded to throw off KO from the top of the steel cage through the announcer table. Since technically KO left the cage first, Braun had to suffer an on-paper loss, but the image of Strowman laughing and saying 'Kevin Owens won!' rectified any damages done.

KO is a great wrestler and Strowman knows what to do. Thus, they made the match worth watching.

Grade: B+
