Friends forever. WWE has posted a new video to their YouTube channel, in which they show the full match between Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens inside Hell in a Cell, at the 2017 edition of the pay-per-view with the same name.
You can see the video in its entirety below:
From WWE.com:
With chaos in his eyes, Shane used a pair of bolt cutters to pick the lock of the cell, causing the brawl to spread around and, eventually, atop the Cell itself, where Shane pursued Owens after KO hesitated on a leap of faith of his own. The ensuing fight left millions of WWE fans clutching their chests, especially when a Pop-up Powerbomb from Owens nearly buckled the Cell a la Mankind in 1998.
After a lengthy fight, Owens seemed to think better of the entire enterprise and attempted to climb down the cage. Shane pursued in a mad fury, hammering KO with kidney punches and slamming his head into the Cell until he fell off the side and plummeted through an announce table below. Shane seemed primed to seize the pinfall after ushering a squad of paramedics away from KO, but then he thought better of it … or rather, decided to finish the job.
Shane hauled Owens one table over and headbutted him into a prone position. He then ascended the Cell one more time before plunging off the side for the Leap of Faith … and then, all of a sudden, Kevin Owens wasn’t there. Because Sami Zayn had pulled him aside.
Owens’ best friend and greatest enemy, the man he had antagonized and injured and left in ruins, had saved him. And nobody knew why. Even Sami didn’t seem to know why. He only snapped out of his trance to haul Owens onto Shane’s body and shove the referee down to count the pinfall amidst the ruins of the table.
Editor’s Opinion:
I remember this match clearly and still remember the excitement I got when Sami Zayn made his return to the company. He was being underutilized at the time and after this event, became one of the most entertaining heels in the business.
