The main event of the night saw Reigns and Sikoa team up to challenge Zayn and Owens for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
Zayn wore special entrance attire and gave himself and KO a special introduction in Arabic, much to the delight of the crowd. Owens and Reigns started for their teams, but KO tagged out to Zayn so he could face off with The Tribal Chief.
After listening to the crowd chant for Zayn, Reigns tagged Sikoa to a chorus of boos.
It took a few minutes after the bell for anyone to make contact. Sikoa backed Zayn to the corner and brushed off a chop like it had no impact. He responded by beating down The Master Strategist in the corner.
The Tribal Chief allowed Sikoa to do most of the heavy lifting while he occasionally provided a distraction or attacked someone while the ref was distracted. When it was his turn to get in the ring, he took it to his former ally with no remorse.

This match had a slow pace because they were focused more on storytelling than packing as many moves into each minute as they could. It worked well for what they were trying to accomplish, especially because Zayn, Owens and Reigns are such great storytellers in the ring.
WWE gave them a long time and made sure to pack in a lot of dramatic moments, including a ref bump when Reigns speared him by mistake.
The Usos appeared and attacked Owens at ringside. They tried to hit Zayn with a double superkick, but they hit their younger brother by accident. The Tribal Chief was pissed and started pushing the twins around.
Jimmy drilled Reigns with a superkick and Jey yelled at him. Jimmy said he is doing what Jey should have done a long time ago and then kicked Reigns again.
Jimmy got a conflicted Jey to leave with him as Sikoa started getting to his feet. KO took him out with a Stunner, and Zayn followed up with a Helluva Kick. A new ref showed up and counted the pin.
Winners: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
Notable Moments and Observations
- Reigns' entrance has officially become as long as The Undertaker's. At least he was walking a little quicker this time since the aisle was so long.
- It's still surreal to see Zayn at a Saudi Arabia show. He had tears in his eyes during his entrance.
- The way Reigns had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand was great. Everything he did got the desired reaction.
- Reigns is the best at the 2.99-count kick-out.
- Reigns spearing Owens a split second after taking a Stunner was a nice spot.
