Shane McMahon was initially defeated by Gable following a perfect roll-up suplex from underdog, following which he made match a two out of three falls match. Owens tried his best to officiate neutrally but was under extreme pressure from Shane and hence made a fast count that saw second fall go to Shane. However, in third round, Gable astonishingly mand to get ankle lock on, making Shane tap out. While bell rang indicating that Gable was victorious and would proceed to finals of King of Ring tournament, a frustrated Shane McMahon attacked Kevin Owens from behind and landed several punches on his face before saying 'You're fired'!.
