Reigns was betrayed by The Honorary Uce Sami Zayn as he hit Reigns with a steel chair after he was ordered to attack a helpless Kevin Owens.

This incident led to the Bloodline ganging up and attacking Sami Zayn to send the show off the air. Reigns' "Right Hand Man" Jey Uso surprisingly walked away from the ring during the segment.
