The rivalry between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn continues this Sunday at WWE’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.
Zayn was at ringside for a tag match on SmackDown that saw Kevin Owens and Big E team up against Commander Azeez and Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews. Zayn acted as if he was going to ambush Owens who was attempting to get back in the ring. When Owens made his way into the ring, he was hit with the “Nigerian Nail” by Commander Azeez and Azeez pinned Owens.
Owens then approached Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville and demanded a match against Sami Zayn. Pearce granted Owens’ request but said the match will happen at Hell In A Cell.
