Uncle Howdy came out as Wyatt put Knight to sleep. Howdy then dropped from a large platform onto Knight. A lot more was expected from Wyatt in his first match in two years. Once the lights were off, it was hard to find interest in the match. Time to move on.

Owens took control on the outside. Reigns regained control when he was back in the ring, landing a standing Rock Bottom. Reigns then began trying to slowly tire out Owens, to no avail.
Stunner by Owens but only for two. Powerbomb attempt by Owens reversed into into a Superman Punch into a spear, but only for two. Zayn told Owens to stay down. Reigns landed a spear through the barricade and then dropped Owens’ head into the steps.
Reigns slapped Owens and landed a spear for the three. While not the best of the series between the two at Royal Rumble events, they got the job done. The real main event is what happened after.
The Bloodline is Broken: Sami Zayn turns on Roman Reigns
The Bloodline beat down Owens afterward as Zayn watched. The Usos and Solo Sikoa decimated Owens. Reigns then brought out handcuffs. Owens was helped along the ropes. Zayn tried to plead mercy as the Usos landed superkicks. As the crowd chanted for Zayn, Reigns went for the chair shot but Zayn stepped in front of Owens. He tried to convince Reigns he was better than that. Reigns gave Zayn the chair instead. Zayn looked like he was going to hit Reigns, and Reigns slapped him for struggling. Then he hit Reigns with the chair and the crowd went wild.
The Usos attacked Zayn, and so did Sikoa. Jey Uso was upset. He exited the ring after not attacking Zayn. Reigns continued his attack and then dropped flowers onto Zayn. That was cinema, a masterpiece.
