A look at what happened in the WWE Payback match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens.
At WWE Payback, one of the biggest matches of the evening saw Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn renew their rivalry. Their feud is called the ‘one that will never die’ since it has been going on for years. They battled in Ring of Honor, NXT and now on the main roster. Despite this being never-ending, Owens and Zayn always put on an entertaining match inside the ring and their feud always sparks interest.
So who would walk out of the pay-per-view as the winner?
Kevin Owens looked determined to get things going.

Midway through the match, Zayn would hit a big Blue Thunderbomb for a near-fall. It nearly looked like the match was about to be over (despite this move never finishing off anyone).

Eventually, KO would hit the pop-up powerbomb for the win.
This was a fun match. This got everyone’s minds off the Enzo Amore injury as these two put on about 15 minutes of greatness. Good stuff from Zayn and Owens.
