However, the highlight of the show was Randy Orton’s surprise return when Kevin Owens tried to destroy Sami Zayn. It truly stole the spotlight.
Randy Orton made a huge return during the Unsanctioned Match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. After Owens won, he tried to hurt Zayn even more by exposing the concrete floor. Just as Owens was about to do something dangerous, Orton’s music hit.
Orton walked to the ring with his usual serious attitude and went straight after Owens. They traded punches before Orton hit Owens with his famous RKO, taking him down. Orton grabbed a steel chair, ready to do more damage, but instead, he decided to use his powerful punt kick.
