Infuriated following Rusev’s kick to a U.S. soldier trying to protect The American Flag, Big Show entered the bout at Hell in a Cell immediately mounting a furious offense. Nevertheless, Rusev battled through the initial flurry, wisely focusing his offense on Big Show’s knees, keeping the former World Champion off his feet.
Further showing off his power, Rusev suplexed Big Show with relative ease. The WWE Universe in Dallas fell silent, witnessing the uncanny strength of the Russian grappler. However, Big Show’s American pride kicked in and he fought back – an effort that prompted Mark Henry to arrive at ringside to cheer on The World’s Largest Athlete.
Rusev remained stalwart, taking down his giant opponent with another devastating kick before doing the same to The World’s Strongest Man. Further unleashing his wrath, Rusev delivered the final crushing blow to Big Show applying The Accolade and shockingly forcing Big Show to tap out.
