Owens says he deserves the US title, and that he does not have to tell people this is The Kevin Owens Show, either. He wants Styles to know that he is more of a man than Styles ever will be.
Maria and Mike Kanellis are in the Social Media Lounge. When asked if she will ever be in the ring again, Maria says she IS in the ring, helping Mike whenever she can. As for Mike's strategy against Sami Zayn, he plans to punch him in the hard as hard as he did on last Tuesday. Maria says to find love, you just wait until someone looks at you from across the room and you know they're the perfect person. Unfortunately, there is only one of them each, so it just won't happen. After Kayla Braxton wishes Mike luck, Mike says "I don't need luck...I have love." Maria then says "The power...of love."

Styles avoids it and goes for a Calf Crusher, then Owens reverses it into a crossface before Styles reverses that into a crossface of his own. Owens then pushes Styles back into a pinfall position, and at this point, the referee has come to and counts the pinfall to give Owens the win and the United States Title.
