10 HUGE WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Predictions You Need To Know

1. ...Or Go InZayn

Shane McMahon Triple H
WWE

If not Triple H, what about an unthinkable u-turn courtesy of the 'Underdog from the Underground?'

The recent revisiting of the never-ending Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn conflict has been what it always tends to be - an enjoyable distraction to main programme that largely freezes Sami out of significant satisfaction. However, the current variation has pushed Zayn out to the fringes as a lone voice of reason amidst the chaos of the McMahon/Owens war.

Shot down by both after trying to advise them against battling each other, he got caught between them physically when 'KO' used his chair-wrapped head as a human shield from a sprinting 'Shane-O-Mac'.

On the night itself and a week later in a backstage vignette, Shane showed zero contrition to a forgotten roster member he very nearly dismembered. It was arrogance typical of 'The Money', but for a change there's a chance for the downtrodden performer to do something about it.

Owens himself laughed off Zayn for his various failures since the pair made it to WWE, with Sami suggesting that he'd remain moral even if it came at the expense of his career. Will a fortnight of stewing on that very reality be enough to change his mind in extreme fashion?
