There was a lot of talk about Kevin Owens paying homage to Mick Foley's dangerous bump from 20 years ago by falling off that steel cage at Extreme Rules. Well, now Mick is involved in the very same stipulation match that defined his career at King of the Ring 1998, and WWE can go one step further.

Imagine if Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman paid tribute to The Undertaker and Foley properly by starting their cell match on top of the ominous structure. Goosebumps aplenty would surely abound.

Now, it's important to temper this point by stating that nobody need take the same reckless fall as Mankind did in Pittsburgh back then. Braun and Roman can elicit the same kind of danger simply by brawling high above the ring as Foley looks up with a slack jaw from inside it below.

If WWE deem it essential that somebody does take a fall, then they can mimic what Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins did four years ago at HIAC 2014. Their own tribute to Shawn Michaels' 1997 bump was awesome, and it'd paint Braun as a cold monster if he forced Reigns into a one-man repeat in Texas.
