Match

Rolins caught Owens with a couple of jabs, but Owens answered back with a few jabs from the apron and then punched him into the corner. Owens hit a pair of sentons before Rollins rolled to the outside where Kevin tossed him twice into the barricade. After Rollins blocked a pile driver on the apron, Seth hit a back body drop and a falcon arrow both on the apron. Rollins followed up with a pair of suicide dives, but Kevin caught Rollins on the third attempt. Back in the ring, Rollins went for the stomp twice that Owens evaded and hit a DDT. Rollins then missed a stinger splash, and Owens followed up with a superkick, cannonball, and top rope senton for a near fall.

A sequence of evasions ended with Kevin Owens hitting a clothesline to lay out Seth in the middle of the ring. Moments later, Rollins would hit a buckle bomb and a super kick. When Rollins went for the stomp, Owens evaded and hit the pop-up powerbomb for a near fall.

Rollins rolled out of the ring, grabbed the ring bell, and hit Owens with it drawing the DQ. This ended at 9:58.

Owens got on the microphone and told Seth to get back and fight him in a no DQ match.
