Time and location
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have shared dozens of battles over the years, but Zayn prevailed in perhaps their hardest-hitting chapter at WWE Hell in a Cell.
KO was all business from the outset, pummeling Zayn from the opening bell and dominating his longtime friend-turned-rival. But the throat injury Owens suffered at the hands of Commander Azeez on SmackDown played a pivotal role as Zayn turned the tables by splaying Owens throat-first on the second rope.
To make matters worse for KO, he appeared to suffer a possible left wrist injury, one that was bad enough that the referee appeared to weigh stopping the match.
But to no one’s surprise, Owens tapped into his reserves and fought back on pure instinct. He finally hit a Stunner on Zayn on the outside, but The Great Liberator narrowly beat the 10-count.
The slugfest continued back in the ring until Zayn blasted Owens with a Helluva Kick to finally put him away.
