Owens joined two-time world champion Rollins in the final by downing Neville with a torture rack neckbreaker - after Chris Jericho had prevented Neville from hitting his Red Arrow move from the turnbuckle.

Owens was unable to help Jericho progress, though - the Canadian blasted by Reigns' Superman punch when he interfered, allowing Reigns to polish off Jericho with a spear.
