8 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE Hell In A Cell 2017

2. Super Shane Conquers All

The Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens feud has picked up steam after a bad start, but this week's SmackDown delivered a few worrying signs.

KO destroyed the Commissioner by the fans' concession area. He crushed his boss with powerbomb through a merch table, which should've put him out of action, but didn't. Owens came down to the ring to cut a gloating promo, and out stumbled Shane, who then proceeded to fire back into action with his best Superman routine.

He was overcome in the end, but McMahon was still able to leap from the barrier, then pepper Kevin with some of his trademark terrible strikes, proving once more that his family will always be the most protected people in WWE.

We already know that Shane's probably going to do something crazy inside Hell In A Cell, but what if he wins? What if he survives KO's onslaught, pulls off one of his death-defying stunts, and actually scores a pinfall over the former Universal Champion? The outcome doesn't bare thinking about, and there's no justification for a part-time executive to go over a brute like Owens, but there's every chance it'll happen, particularly after what transpired on SmackDown.
