As great as Kevin Owens has been throughout his time in WWE, there was no way he was stopping Braun Strowman Monday night.

However, kudos to the agents for booking a match where Owens looked outgunned, but believably in contention throughout. Strowman controlled much of the match, but a couple missteps resulted in KO taking charge and trying to score a countout victory. When Braun posted himself, KO hit a superkick and frogsplash in quick succession for a close 2 count.

In the end, Strowman continued his trend of running over Owens outside the ring, then hit a running powerslam for the win. The outcome was never in doubt, but the result was an entertaining little match.
