Kevin Owens On WWE NXT Return, WWE Partnership With Credit One Bank, Mysterios - Brock Lesnar

By Marc Middleton

- Above is the latest episode of WWE Playback, featuring Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio re-watching Rey's No Holds Barred match against then-WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at the 2019 Survivor Series pay-per-view. That match lasted right at 7 minutes and saw Lesnar retain his title after after a F5.

Dominik got involved during the match several times, bringing a white towel into the ring at one point to plead with Lesnar to take it easy on his dad. The father & son duo also hit low blows on Lesnar during the match, and then hit him with various weapons. The finish saw Rey and Dominik hit a double 619, then dual Frogsplashes. Lesnar responded to the Frogsplashes with a German suplex to Dominik, then the F5 on Rey for the win.

- WWE and Credit One Bank have announced a new multi-year partnership. The new deal will see Credit One Bank release a WWE-themed credit card with benefits customized for WWE fans, and other perks. Credit One Bank messaging will also be featured on upcoming WWE pay-per-view events and digital channels, beginning with Survivor Series on Sunday, and then TLC on December 20.
