At Survivor Series, Owens and Zayn attacked Shane McMahon during the main event, but it backfired after McMahon attacked both with a steel chair and Orton delivered an "RKO" to Owens. On the November 21 edition of "SmackDown", Shane was about to fire both Owens and Zayn, before Daniel Bryan interrupted him and made a tag team match for them against The New Day in a lumberjack match in which Owens and Zayn were victorious, but The New Day attacked Zayn after the match, while Owens escaped. At Clash of Champions, Owens and Zayn defeated Orton and Nakamura in a tag team match with their jobs on the line and with McMahon and Bryan as special guest referees, after Bryan gave them a fast count. Going into 2018, both would compete for AJ Styles's WWE Championship; first in a handicap match at Royal Rumble in January and secondly at Fastlane in March, where they competed in six-pack challenge that also involved Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin and John Cena, but were unsuccessful both times. After that, they continued their feud against Bryan and McMahon, culminating in a tag team match at WrestleMania 34, where Bryan made his in-ring return, being defeated after Bryan submitted Zayn.
