In what was supposed to be a grudge match for the ages at WWE Crown Jewel, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton barely made it past the introductions before things spiraled into an all-out brawl. Owens, fueled by his recent vendetta against Orton, came out swinging—literally. Before the bell even rang, he clocked Orton with a steel chair, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation that not even WWE officials could contain.
No Match, Just Mayhem
As referees tried to pry Owens off his rival, the fight spilled back to ringside. Chairs were swung, desks were cleared, and tempers flared as Orton fought back, slamming Owens onto the English announcer’s desk. Any hopes of this becoming an “official” contest evaporated as Owens hit the ref with a Stunner for trying to confiscate his chair. WWE officials Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce rushed down to restore order, but Pearce’s diplomacy didn’t last long—Owens and Orton delivered an RKO and a Stunner to show that they were far from done.
A Brawl Through the Crowd
With the match thrown out, Owens and Orton took the battle into the crowd, delivering heavy hits among the fans. In the grand finale, Owens ascended the arena stairs, leaping from a guardrail to land an elbow drop on Orton through a table, sealing their brawl with a chaotic exclamation point. By the end of the segment, it was clear: there would be no winner tonight, only a fierce warning that this rivalry has escalated to another level.
