Rollins clotheslines Owens over the barricade into the crowd. Owens tries to walk to the back but Rollins gives chase and attacks him from behind. Rollins hits Owens in the head with a trash can. Owens tries to powerbomb Rollins, but Rollins holds on to the railing.

Rollins climbs up to the upper level of the crowd and dives onto Owens. Rollins drags Rollins back the ring. Rollins stands on the barricade. someone in a Sin Cara mask pushes Rollins off the barricade. Rollins attacks the masked man. During the scuffle, Rollins pulls off the mask and it is Jericho. Jericho jumps off the barricade, but Rollins kicks him in the gut and Pedigrees him. Owens superkicks Rollins f and powerbombs him on the apron. Owens tosses Rollins in the ring and gets the pinfall.

The fans were treated to one hell of a main event tonight, with Seth Rollins coming so close to defeating Kevin Owens. It was intense, physical and the no disqualification gave these guys extra ammo to really execute a great championship match. A heel win like this is typical, even though it can get annoying at times. Chris Jericho disguised in a Sin Cara mask in the crowd was hilarious. The sweet irony of him is sometimes too much to enjoy.

It continues to keep that door cracked for Seth Rollins to become champion. The payoff will be huge, but I wonder when and where we get to see Triple H again. If anything, tonight could have been the right moment. That is, unless, WWE is trying to hold off Rollins/Triple H at WrestleMania. If that is the case, Triple H can appear and attack Seth Rollins in the Royal Rumble match, ultimately costing him his opportunity.
