The Good - The Kevin Owens/Braun Strowman Finish

At first, the bout got off to a lacklustre start. Kevin Owens did everything in his power to avoid fighting standing toe to toe with Braun Strowman. Strowman, unimpressed by Owens' repeated attempts to avoid physicality, began verbally mocking Owens' "Fight Owens Fight" mantra. Eventually, Owens' machismo won over and he ultimately did get physical with Strowman. That isn't to say he didn't utilize anything he could get his hands on to his own tactical advantage.

Eventually, Owens handcuffed Strowman to the ring rope. The Monster Among Men stood helpless as Owens' continued his physical assault. On his way out of the cage, Owens mocked the behemoth and even blew him a kiss, as he waved goodbye. To add insult to injury, Owens found the time to pay homage to D-X with a crotch chop and finally a "Suck it." He should have known better.

Strowman has toppled ambulances with ease and thrown freighters onto their side, as if they were weightless. Eventually the powerhouse ripped the ring rope off the turnbuckle and with freakish speed chased after Kevin Owens. Owens raced to make his way over the top of the cage; but, Strowman grabbed onto him with his massive paws. Eventually the two met at the very top of the cage and in what will go down in wrestling history as one of the most terrifying high risk falls of all time, Strowman through Owens off the top of the cage.

Owens went through an announcer's table and technically "won" the match, as his feet hit the floor well before Strowman's who gazed upon his victim from the top of the cage. His victory; however, was bittersweet as he left the arena in a stretcher to the sounds of Strowman's mockery.
