At Hell in a Cell, SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon leaped off the top of the cage in an attempt to elbow drop Kevin Owens. As expected, Shane has a history of taking death-defying spots during his matches, garnering a high level of anticipation for every bout. Similar to his match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas, Texas, Shane unsuccessfully performed the off-the-cage spot, leaving him unable to recover in quick fashion.
During his match with Kevin Owens, it appeared as if he was going to best his bitter rival and hit the elbow drop from the top of the cell. Shane executed a headbutt to Owens, similar to the one received from his father Vince a few weeks ago on SmackDown Live. However, in a very surprising matter, Sami Zayn pulled Owens off of the table, causing Shane to miss him. In addition, he picked up Owens and placed him on Shane, giving KO the victory.
