...
Owens then hit two huge kicks, but inadvertently lands a shot on the referee. Styles tries to take advantage by getting a roll-up cover and Styles gets the three count.

...
...
... back in the ring, Owens still has the advantage as he lands a huge boot and covers... but it's just the two count again. Styles looks to regain the momentum with a beautifully executed dropkick. And then goes to work on him with a few loud chops; and then a kneedrop... covers, but it's just the two count.
