Kevin Owens Defeats CM Punk In No Holds Barred Match On WWE Smackdown

Kevin Owens won the latest battle in his war against CM Punk, defeating in a No Holds Barred match in the main event of WWE Smackdown. The headlining bout of Friday night’s show saw Owens and Punk go at it in the latest salvo in their rivalry that began after WWE SummerSlam, when Owens returned and won a shot at the then-Undisputed WWE Champion.

The 22-and-a-half-minute match went all around the arena, including into the crowd at one point as they utilized tables and chairs against each other. The finish came as Owens had a chain around his first. He went for a punch but Punk into a GTS. Owens came off the ropes from the GTS and nailed Punk with the chain. Both men fell to the mat and Owens was on top, allowing the ref to count the pinfall.
