10 HUGE WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Predictions You Need To Know
2. Play The Game...
Kevin Owens' piercing peer down the lens as he arrogantly talked up the damage he intended to do to Shane McMahon was as fearsome as he'd looked since smashing his 'best friend' Chris Jericho's head through a monitor in the soul-crushing climax to their Festival Of Friendship earlier this year.
On that night, a still-unknown word in his ear from longtime associate Triple H seemed to be the point of no return. 'The Game' vanished from television following his own WrestleMania programme with Seth Rollins, but a return to aid 'KO' would subvert expectations that the two are destined to clash at next year's 'Show Of Shows'.
In her capacity as Monday Night Raw Commissioner, Stephanie's appearance on SmackDown Live! following Owens' brutal attack on her father was either a mindless continuity error or a vision of the company's bigger picture heading into a winter of discontent for former Universal Champion.
But who better than the angry 'Prizefighter' to despatch two generations of McMahon men in order to pave the way for a brand new Authority on the blue brand? Not least as lifetime McMahon-Helmsley rival Daniel Bryan prepares for an ill-advised 2018 return to the ring.
