Sami accidentally speared Jey, leading to Reigns wailing on Zayn with a chair before finishing him off with a spear.
After the bout, Jimmy attacked Sami, leading to the return to Kevin Owens. Owens hit a stunner on Reigns and Paul Heyman, and powerbombed Jimmy through the table. Sami closed the night with a helluva kick on Reigns as the crowd cheered.
As a results of this victory, Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.
