WWE Hell In A Cell 2021: 35 Things You Probably Missed

It's unclear whether or not Owens was supposed to sell a wrist injury for approx 70% of the match with Zayn. During a dive spot, his joint went the wrong way, and he got back up instantly instead of selling. That's usually a sign that something really hurt.

KO seemed to shake the injury off quickly.

Pause the action at precisely the right moment and you'd see that his wrist bent off to the side when he flat-backed for Sami. That cannot have been fun.
