In a match where Owens teamed up with Big E to face Zayn and Crews, the chaotic bout was filled with fast-paced action from the start. Of course, Owens and Zayn clashed for the majority of their time in the ring, with Big E looking to target Crews no matter where he went. Toward the end of the contest, Big E ended up taking Crews over the ropes and out of the ring with an impactful clothesline. Zayn then attempted to hit Owens with a Helluva Kick, but Owens avoided it and dropped his enemy with the Stunner for the win.

Following the match, a visibly angry Crews grabbed the microphone, saying that the only reason Owens and Big E won was because he was paired with an “idiot” like Zayn. The champion then challenged the pair to another tag team match. Next week, the pair will face Crews and Commander Azeez, and the big man will make his in-ring debut on SmackDown. When Zayn attempted to demand an apology from Crews, Azeez promptly hit him with a Nigerian Nail to silence him.
