Hell in the Cell: Shocking assist leads to McMahon’s downfall

Sami Zayn, the old friend now bitter rival of Kavin Owens, has helped his former buddy to beat Shane McMahon in one of the most brutal Hell in a Cell match in WWE’s history.

Owens was incapacitated after falling from halfway up the outside of the cell onto an announce table. Not content to pin Owens right there, Shane placed Owens on another announce table and climbed to the top of the cell structure.

As SmackDown Live commissioner [Shane] was dropping an elbow, Sami Zayn—longtime friend and blood rival of Owens—helped former WWE Universal Champion get off the table, and McMahon landed flush on the table.

That was not it, Zayn even shooed away EMTs who were tending to McMahon and implored the referee make the three-count to give Owens the victory.

Earlier, Shane attacked Kevin Owens before he even got inside the ring, starting the match outside the cage.

The two traded punches before Shane took a big risk by jumping off the barricade and onto KO. The match finally returned inside the cage and the official locked the doors to the cell.

Shane’s children were also sitting in the front row for the match.
