Kevin Owens beat CM Punk in a No Holds Barred main event on the Nov. 6 episode of WWE SmackDown, knocking Punk out with a chain-wrapped fist. The night before Crown Jewel also saw Charlotte Flair return to go after Jade Cargill, and The 946 beat down Jimmy Uso while Sami Zayn walked away. No titles changed hands at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (WWE, CBS Sports).

The Lowdown

Our take (opinion): Owens getting a clean, decisive win under no-rules conditions is a big deal for him and a real setback for Punk, who has been talking about getting back to the WWE Championship. Charlotte’s return gave the women’s tag picture a jolt right before the weekend’s big show.

The Full Story

The 946 Leave Jimmy Uso Alone

Sami Zayn opened the show to explain why he attacked Roman Reigns on Raw. Jimmy Uso came out alone to confront him on Reigns’ behalf and warned that Reigns planned to crush him at Crown Jewel, which Zayn took as a compliment. Royce Keys and The 946 then attacked Uso, and Zayn walked away instead of helping (CBS Sports).

Shinsuke Nakamura def. Tama Tonga

Tonga, one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, wanted payback for Kyoki taking the Tongan staff. Kyoki went for the staff again, and Nakamura used the opening to hit the Kinshasa for the win.

Finn Bálor and Gunther Brawl

Gunther called out Finn Bálor and said he wanted the man, not The Demon. Bálor answered that the demon is part of the man, the two fought, and Bálor drove Gunther off.

Charlotte Flair Returns

The Women’s Tag Team Title match between Michin and B-Fab and Fatal Influence never got a finish. Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley interrupted, Bayley ran in and was taken out by Cargill, and then Charlotte Flair came back and went straight after Cargill. That feud carried into Raw three days later, where Bayley beat Michin (PCP’s Nov. 9 Raw results).

Liv Morgan and Chelsea Green

Chelsea Green said she needed to beat Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel to secure her legacy. Morgan came out and mocked her, calling her a “charity case.”

Damian Priest def. Nathan Frazer

Priest overwhelmed Frazer and finished him with a Razor’s Edge on the announce table, and the referee stopped the match. When Axiom came to help his partner, Priest sent him into the ring post.

Kevin Owens def. CM Punk

This one went all over Barclays Center. Punk dropped an elbow through an announce table, Owens set up chairs in the ring and took a fall onto them himself, and Owens sent them both crashing through two ringside tables with an apron fisherman buster. Punk finally hit the GTS, but Owens came off the ropes with a chain-wrapped punch and pinned him. The feud dates back to Owens costing Punk the NXT Title match on Nov. 3 (PCP’s report).
