Almost every time Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn tangle, you’re in for a hard-hitting, brutal battle. It’s almost a guarantee, and Sunday night’s match between the two followed through.

Taken in a vacuum, their Hell in a Cell match was another solid brawl between the two. Owens and Zayn slugged away at each other, hitting their opponent with everything in their arsenal. KO couldn’t maintain his flurries due to breathing problems after suffering two Nigerian Nails on Friday night, giving Sami some openings to get back into the match.

An arm injury further opened the door for Zayn, and eventually, he used that to his advantage and landed a Helluva Kick for the win, finally picking up a win when he needed it.

Hopefully, this won’t turn into the writers keeping this feud going forever. While they’re very good together, the writers have a tendency to beat the proverbial dead horse, and it would be a shame to overdo this rivalry right now.
