Owens pinned Rhodes with an “illegal” package. Rhodes left the arena on a stretcher.
As Owens walked towards the gorilla's location, Owens was confronted by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Levesque shoved Owens as the two faced off nose to nose. WWE security guards had to separate the two when Levesque went to check on Rhodes.
This was the second time Owens had used the Piledriver on Smackdown star. He used it on Randy Orton, which left Orton down and out and also taken out of the arena on a stretcher.
It's unclear what the future holds for both Owens and Rhodes in the aftermath.
Elsewhere, Chelsea Green made history by defeating Mission. Greene rolled onto Mishin's back in the corner and made an incredibly not-so-pretty move and picked up the pinfall.
