Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn comment on defeating Pretty Deadly.
In a SmackDown Exclusive, the champions commented on their victory. Zayn praised Pretty Deadly, while also preventing KO from dropping his cannonball move that according to Kevin, always ends in injury.
Sami Zayn: Honestly, I know people can easily look at them and get distracted by the fact that look, they’re here. Means they’re on a certain level to be here, and they’re the number one contenders for the tag team titles, means you have to be at a certain level. It’s very easy sight of that, the disco ball, and the song.
Kevin Owens: Deceptively big gentlemen. They’re big guys. They’re tall, they’re broad-shouldered.
SZ: Heavy. A little heavy when I picked them up.
KO: Too heavy. Trying to pick you up here. Of course he’s fighting against the-
SZ: I’m not gonna get into the weight thing here. I don’t want to touch that one. What I’m getting at is that they’re deceptively good.
KO: Big.
SZ: I think we took care of what we had to do. We retained the tag team championship, and we look to do it another day. I think he’s a little dinged up.
KO: My ankle, smashed my ankle on that cannonball. Maybe I should stop doing it.
SZ: No, everybody loves that move.
KO: I know, but it hurts me every single time. Should I not learn?
SZ: I like this though.
KO: This is months and months and months. It happens, the top rope. Lethal, underrated weapon, the top rope. You know we always hit the guys’ head on the buckles? We ought to start hitting them on the ropes. Those things are harder than the buckles. Anyway, yeah, we won. We retained. Really all that matters.

We will have to wait and see if Owens will continue to use the move despite it hurting him every time.
