Kevin Owens To Face Ezekiel At WWE Hell In A Cell
KO's fury finally boiled over Monday night on Raw, challenging Elias' brother.
After weeks of a better-than-ever-imagined storyline involving Kevin Owens and Elias' younger brother Ezekiel, the two superstars will finally collide at WWE Hell in a Cell.
Owens laid down the challenge on Raw Monday night, finally losing his patience with Ezekiel, who insists that he's not really Elias, but the troubadour's younger brother. KO has been gradually becoming more unhinged as everyone seems to just accept that this is a different person rather than just a cleanshaven Elias wearing tassels and tights instead of a bandana and jeans.
The segments involving Ezekiel, Owens and Alpha Academy have been a rare bright spot for Raw, which is funny when you consider that on paper, this could easily be death. But everyone has played their part perfectly, including the fans, who have bought in on the joke and are willingly going along with everything: a lie detector test, a DNA sample tainted by barbecue sauce, and KO hilariously on commentary last week.

Monday, Owens finally lost it when Ezekiel toppled Chad Gable again, leading KO to challenge the "rookie" to a match at Hell in a Cell. No one should be expecting a technical masterpiece, but hopefully, these two can find a way to bring the same humor from their segments into this match.
