Kevin Owens was almost left high and dry in the ring tonight, but his mystery partner arrived just in time, and it was none other than Randy Orton.
During tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Owens was set to face off against A-Town Down Under along with a mystery tag partner. At first, Owens’ partner seemed to be a total random superstar known only as “Ricky,” with Owens explaining that his real partner got stuck in traffic and didn’t arrive in time.
However, Owens was told just as the match was about to start that the partner arrived, and Owens kicked Ricky (who he called “Reggie”) to the curb with a Stunner, before Orton came out. In the match, the duo of Owens and Orton walked away with a win, after getting in some dual DDTs and then a finisher combo.
For a recap of how the match ended, check out below courtesy of our live coverage of SmackDown:
