Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins WWE Universal Championship
Trending
This is weird. Kevin Owens, the Champion, is out first. Seth Rollins follows. Both men are cheered wildly by the crowd. This should be a good match.
Immediately the actions spills over on to the outside as both men go after each others’ throats. They exchange offence, mixing in vicious chops to the chest with the occasional ring-savvy move, as both men scrape to gain control of the match.
Rollins manages to beat down Owens sufficiently to garner enough separation to draw out the table as the audience chants their approval. But before he can put it to use, Owens takes over out of think air by slamming his head against the steel.
He follows that up with an outrageous cannonball on the outside, as Rollins gets caught between a rock (cell) and a hard place (an onrushing Kevin Owens). The audience gets especially sparked into life because of this, and the momentum only snowballs from here.
An insane Superkick sequence is followed by Owens setting up two tables, one inclined on top of another, hinging off the ropes. That should make for an INSANE spot. He then fishes underneath the ring and procures a fire extinguisher, which he promptly hits Rollins with, before spraying it over the referee’s face.
As another official helps the referee out of the Cell, Jericho comes running down and manages to weasel into the Cell and locks out the original referee. It’s effectively 2 on 1 now! Rollins, however, fights off Jericho and displays INCREDIBLE strength in hitting the running powerbomb on Owens through the two tables!
That should be it! No! Jericho breaks up the count by pulling out the referee just as he was about to count 3! Incensed, Rollins goes after Jericho and Owens recuperates using the time-off. He meets the incoming Rollins with a Pop-up Powerbomb! Cover! 1,2, Kickout!
Rollins kicked out of the Pop-up Powerbomb.
Owens can’t believe it. The audience can’t believe it. Jericho can’t believe it. That’s it. JeriKO retrieve 3 chairs into the ring, and start pasting Rollins with chair shots. Owens sets up two chairs facing one another, and reels in Rollins for another Pop-up Powerbomb.
This time, he nails him with it on top of both the chairs. That should be it! Cover. 1,2,3!
Kevin Owens, with a lot of help from Chris Jericho, defeats Seth Rollins.
Result: Kevin Owens def. Seth Rollins via pinfall
Jericho isn’t quite done though, as he returns for afters and lays Rollins out with a Codebreaker before leaving.
