Paul entered the match on the back of a Prime truck. His drink was a primary sponsor for WrestleMania. He had a mysterious person dressed in a Prime bottle behind him. Last year, it was KSI who helped Paul in his match against Seth Rollins.
Owens and Orton started off slamming Paul on the Spanish announce table. They stomped his legs and his arms. But they both went for the pin attempt and came to the conclusion that they were going to have to start beating up each other.
Orton came to that realization first as he tried hit Owens with an RKO. Owens blocked it, but the fight was on. Paul got back to his feet and hit a clothesline lariat over the ropes.
Paul showed off his athleticism multiple times – hitting a Swanton on Owens and then rolled through to splash on Orton. Still, he couldn’t get the fall. Orton then challenged Paul to an uppercut contest. Paul put Orton down onto one knee as he faced boos from the fans.
