Owens started off strong and went after Uso with pounding fists before hitting a senton on the outside. Back in the ring, Owens got another near fall before focusing on Uso's left leg that was damaged during TLC.

Owens used the ropes and the apron to hurt Usos legs before telling Uso that it was all Reigns' fault for which Jey is being punished. KO hit a superkick and sent Jey over the announce desk before we headed for commercials.
