The two SmackDown Superstars started the match with some standard moves before the action picked up. KO performed an epic senton, following which Corbin delivered a Deep Six to his opponent.

The former King of the Ring tried to roll up Owens with his feet on the ropes but still could not win. Soon after, The Prizefighter rolled up his opponent to win the match and then delivered a Stunner to Corbin to end the segment.

The match was fun and helped Corbin build his new gimmick on SmackDown. He’s fantastic in this role and will likely get a major push soon. Backstage, Corbin stole the Money in the Bank briefcase from Big E and ran out of the building with it.

The angle will help WWE keep Big E away from the Universal Championship match at SummerSlam.
