At the event Roman Reigns gained victory by applying the guillotine choke on Kevin and immobilized him as a result. Owens then failed to get up until the 10 count and Roman retained his Universal Championship. This was Roman’s recent Last man standing match win in WWE.

It was a bunch of screams and canned-down noises and stuff, and I was, ‘This is great! I love this,’ and like, I honestly thought that’s a perfect way to go out. Because I also wasn’t sure if I was even going sign with AEW, I was debating back and forth, but I was also debating on just kind of — I don’t want to say hanging it up, but just stop doing it full time and focus more on being a dad.”
