The Authors of Pain interrupt the main event of Raw to relentlessly attack Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins adds insult to injury by further brutalizing KO.

Kevin Owens def. Seth Rollins via Disqualification

Say what you will about Seth Rollins for his criticism at the beginning of Raw, but someone definitely listened. Not just Kevin Owens, who stepped to The Beastslayer in the show’s main event, but AOP as well.

Just hours after making their victorious in-ring return (and hours after Rollins admonished them for their Survivor Series absence), Akam & Rezar stormed to the ring to confront both Rollins and Owens. Their arrival was a lucky one for The Beastslayer, who had just suffered a Stunner from his opponent and was likely about to be pinned before the former Raw and NXT Tag Team Champions arrived. Akam & Rezar sized up both men, but Owens staggered to his feet and threw the first punch, leading the team to attack him and hand him the disqualification win.

When it came time to turn to Rollins, however, AOP demurred and made their exit. Rollins took the opportunity to provide what Jerry Lawler called the “exclamation point” of the night, drilling Owens face-first into the mat with a pair of Stomps while proclaiming that he made Raw a better place. For now, at least, there’s no one standing to argue with him.
