The moment the announcers said that the Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens match was an attempt to end their feud so they could focus on other pursuits, you had to call BS on that. There was no way that we were getting an ultimate blow-off match between these two.

And sure enough, we got an energetic little match that ended after Zayn reversed a Pop-Up Powerbomb and rolled KO up for a three count. Immediately afterward, Owens assaulted Sami on the ramp, leading to a pull-apart brawl that spilled to backstage, where they continued to beat the stuffing out of each other. It only ended when Fit Finlay and Road Dogg joined the referees to separate the two.

So much for that being the last match in Owens and Zayns rivalry. Somehow, you get the feeling theres a lot more down the pike.
