Kevin Owens joins the fray and can’t get a word out edgewise as the crowd is going berserk for him. Owens says he knows Zayn can beat Reigns but Owens should face Reigns tonight instead. Owens purposes a popularity contest to see who will face Reigns tonight. The crowd is solidly behind Owens and Zayn. The crowd boos Mahal out of the building. Owens wins the popularity contest. Reigns decks Owens. Mahal, Zayn, Owens, and Singh attack Reigns. Bobby Lashley runs in and tries to save Reigns. The numbers are too much for Lashley.
