Five days were removed from the Late Match of the Year candidate in which Roman Reigs retained his Universal Championship briefly against Kevin Owens on TVC: table, ladder and chair, the head of the table again defended against the fighter against the steel fighter.
Owens rejected the rule with DDT and continued to put the champion on the defensive with a cannon ball in the corner as Paul Hayman showed very real concern for the first time. The rulers turned the tide, resisting a pop-up powerbomb attempt with a leg drop for a near fall.
Owens received re-heading and delivered a frog splash for the two headers going into the break.
Back from the deadline, Enssens successfully drove a powerbomb, but Raines managed to shoot his shoulder at two o’clock in the afternoon as he hit another close. He got a slap from The Tribal Chief and brought the fisherman buster closer to the other two.
Rulers made an amazing block and shook his challenger with a Superman punch. Building for speed for the first time in the match, Rains retreated after Owens and put a guillotine on the rope. Owens, on the defensive, brought the head of the table down the neck-down rope.
The rulers discovered that charm but Owens caught it and left it with a charm. Kicking the regime twice, the challenger wondered what he had to do to win the title.
After the second break, the Raings knelt down, moving them into the back of the challenge during the Swanton bomb attempt. The rulers walked away with spears, but could not keep Owens down. He saw the champion’s face in disbelief and doubt as he prepared to open the door. The elastic babyface grabbed her leg. The distraction allowed Ons to reach, grab the cage door, and slam it into Raines’ face.
Owens came within inches of winning the title but stopped short of disposing of G. Yuso. The rulers slowed it down and delivered another Superman punch. Owens gave another shocking answer. As the champion’s retention proved necessary in the hurdles, Oso placed the handcuffed ons in the cage.
Reigns out of the cage, hitting his opponent on the way before reaching the floor for victory.

The ruler defeated Owens and retained his title

Analysis
Their TLC classic is a Christmas miracle, its rule and Owens wrestled this quality of the match 24-48 hours later.
This was another dramatic beat of the business that left the audience thinking, despite all the hypotheses, Owens could pull off a win. The odds were great, the nearby waterfall was fantastic and the finish allowed Owens to maintain credibility while establishing the Rhinos as one more ruthless, ruthless, but most importantly resourceful, heel champion.
Yuso continued to bail out his cousin, set up a table to come up with some babyface, and tried to get him to fight the Universal Championship with Reigns.
