Styles is thrown out of the ring, and Zayn, incredibly, lands a Helluva Kick on Kevin Owens and the three count! So much for their friendship!

It's now Corbin's time to land a few of his signature moves as he lands a Deep Six on Owens, and Styles - predictably - breaks the count.

Owens then lands a German Suplex on Ziggler and then a cannonball on Ziggler and a KO Bomb on Corbin, and Styles once again breaks the count. Ziggler lands a DDT on Owens and a Zig Zag on Corbin, and a Superkick on Zayn, but Styles breaks the count once more.

Back from the break, Zayn is superplexed, while Styles and Ziggler are powerbombed, from the top rope. Chaos everywhere! Zayn lands a Blue Thunderbomb on Ziggler and Styles just about breaks the count.
