Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens exchange furious right hands at Battleground, a match billed as their final clash.

Zayn's return to the main roster was a dramatic one, entering the 2016 Royal Rumble to the surprise of many - none more so than old foe Kevin Owens, whom he eliminated to a huge pop.

The pair clashed several times throughout the year, but saved their best match for the Battleground PPV, an epic contest which saw Sami survive a terrifying bump on the ring apron. The 'Underdog from the Underground' finally won after a pair of Helluva Kicks, the second delivered with a vengeful flourish.
