Show opens with Owens coming out to Sami Zayn's music and wearing Cena's US title shirt. He talked about Sami and said he doesn't understand why people are upset with that happened at Takeover, he just did what he said he would all along. He went on that any good man would do that for his family. He talked about Cena and said he was going to issue an open challenge tonight, but isn't an insecure person and title shots should be earned. In the LINE OF THE NIGHT Owens says:
“ People say that I backed down from Samoa Joe because I was scared. Well that statement is as ridiculous as the colors of John Cena's Merchandise. I did what I did at Takeover because I wanted to let you end your night on a positive and love the moment. The fact is I would have dropped Joe. Like That.”
Crowe vs Joe for later is eventually made after Regal comes out.
Hideo Itami is shown on screen and says he'll be out for awhile and doesn't know who attacked him. When he comes back he's taking over...OK KENTA! Whatever you say just hit the GTS on tv when you get back dammit.
Zach Ryder interview with Renae talking about Takeover, Mo Jo Rawly interrupts and is over hyped to the point of ridiculous. Ryder looks at him like he's insane and Mo Jo runs off.
Emma beat Bayley after Dana Brooke distracted her. Emma and Brooke beat down Emma after untin Charlotte made the failed save as Brook hits Charolette with whatever driver her finisher is. Emma's new character is growing on me. Match rating **
Highlights of Baron Corbin vs Rhybo are shown. Corbin does a Roman Reigns inspired interview with Renae, which Rhyno interrupted and says that match was intense...really intense...they should do it again sometime...really soon...( breathing super heavily)
Highlight video of Becky Lynch. She is awesome IMO. Her failed Irish gimmick is funny to look back on because she's killing it now.
Some new music initiative for up and coming bands is announced by Graves. Wonder if they'll have a website for that..
Blake and Murphy w HOOOT Alexa Bliss beat 2 jobbers who's names I think were Mike Rollins and Alliance Sampson. I swear Jo Jo said Alliance. Not a great match with Murphy botching the finish a little. Alexa did her top rope splash to Jobber #1 after the match. Alexa Bliss stole the show and really found her spot finally. She's a Trish Stratus like manager with her mannerisms and is a drop dead beauty. Sorry that's enough on my lovefest for Alexa..or is it! Match rating *
Backstage Interview with Blake/Murphy/Bliss. Devin asks how the whole relationship came about. Bliss in total bitch mode here explains she's a winner and Devin's question are stupid. She trashes Carmella and that's all.
Finn Balor beat Tye Dillinger. Balor comes out with a bandana over his mouth and neck. Decent match, Tye got a lot of offence here. Balor wins with the double foot stomp. Announcers push his eventual match with Owens. **
Jason Jordan is interviewed by random blonde guy. He has a name I just dont care. Jordan says his future is fine, and he's found a tag team partner. Chad Gable appears/debuts and immediately you can tell he's going for the Kurt Angle type character. Promoted his real life accomplishments very arrogantly, and tells Jordan that Chad Gable should be his new partner. Jordan calls him Chad Cable. Eventually Gable through his towel to Jordan to end the spot.
Kevin Owens destroys Somolon Crowe. ** 1/2. Crowe has better music now. Crowd chants get the stretcher during the match. Owens wins via Pop up Powerbomb. Post match Owens goes for the powerbomb on the apron but SAMOA JOE's music hits. He comes out for the save but Owens rolls out of the ring saying, “Crowe's your warning Joe. Next time that will be you.”
Owens poses with the title and screams the champ is here as Joe's music plays to end the show.
Overall good show as usual. The in ring could have been better, but as a viewing experience it was solid. Owens is the man and the intro was really hot and should be viewed if you haven't. The ending with Joe was good but I don't like his music. Just fix it, the part after the horns sucks. Owens has a lot on his plate right now, hope his eventual match with Balor doesn't get overlooked in the process. Overall 7/10
