After losing to the Universal Champion Roman Reigns at TLC and in a steel cage match on Christmas night, Kevin Owens is not ready to shy away in his pursuit of the universal champion.
Owens once again on Friday night Smackdown calling out Reigns for his cowardice in needing his cousin, Jey Uso, to help him pick up wins in their previous matches.Owens would get his wish and face Uso in the night's main event, picking up a win before continuing the assault post-match.
As has happened over and over in his rivalry with Reigns, though, the numbers game would come back to bite Owens and he would end yet another edition of SmackDown beaten down and laid out.
Roman Reigns opened the show with an in-ring promo, talking about how all he touches now turns to gold, singling out Paul Heyman and Jey Uso as proof of this.
Reigns said he saved Heyman from being cast aside by WWE while elevating Uso to the best year of his career and a position as a true main-event talent. Kevin Owens then interrupted while Reigns objected, saying nobody cares what Owens has to say after losing to him twice.
Owens said that his appearance on the show proves that Reigns and Uso failed in their attempts to destroy him. Owens said he didn't want anything to do with Reigns tonight but wanted Uso in the ring and would demand it happen later in the show.
Owens made a passionate appeal to Adam Pearce to make the match, with Pearce agreeing after initial hesitation. Reigns would demand Heyman find out who disrespected him enough to allow the match to be made.
Kevin Owens def. Jey Uso via pinfall after a stunner. The match was a brawl from the jump, but Owens eventually took things over and kept his attack focused on Uso's leg.
Owens would finish off Uso after a stunner for the win before turning to the camera to ask, "Where are you, Roman?" He then proceeded to beat up Uso, as he had promised earlier in the night, attacking him and hitting a second Stunner.
Owens handcuffed Uso to the ropes before hitting him with a superkick, all while continuing to call for Reigns to show some pride and save his family.
Owens took Uso to the entrance ramp and was about to put Uso through a table when Reigns attacked. Uso and Reigns then worked over Owens with a pair of steel chairs and threw him from the LED board area of the ThunderDome through tables below to end the show.
