Kevin Owens wasn't done with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes following his defeat at Saturday Night's Main Event, and "The Prize Fighter" sent the champion out of Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on a stretcher. Fan video posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) showed Owens get back in the ring to attack Rhodes, who was still celebrating in front of the fans when the NBC special went off the air. Owens hit Rhodes with a package piledriver – a banned move in WWE, and the same move Owens took out Randy Orton with back in November.

Despite Owens teasing the return of Orton throughout the match, including turning to the camera and saying "hello" to "The Viper" assumingly watching from home, Orton didn't come out to save Rhodes at any point in the match. Owens lost after Rhodes hit a Cross Rhodes onto him on a chair in the ring, and referee Charles Robinson counted to three from the outside after multiple referees were taken out in the bout.
