WWE SmackDown 5 Predictions For October 3, 2017

2. Shane McMahon Owns Kevin Owens

Repeat after me: Shane McMahon is not winning at Hell in a Cell.

Nice try, I heard you say “not” a second time really quickly. Get that out of your head real fast, because there’s no way a non-wrestler should beat a wrestler, especially not in a marquee match. I get that Shane is a fearless. I get that Shane is experienced. I get that Shane had a good match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania. I get that Kevin Owens is the one person on the roster who could lose to Shane and somehow come out of it looking better, simply because he’s just that dang good.

But it isn’t happening. Owens isn’t losing, because this is a former Universal Champion, NXT Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion, and three-time United States Champion. He isn’t losing to a guy who can barely throw believable punches and literally always loses.

However, the WWE will make Shane look good, and that includes having him beat up Owens again this week. Maybe he does another “Leap of Faith” onto a table. Maybe Shane just tears the crap out of him for the shenanigans he pulled last week on him and Sami Zayn. No matter what, Shane will get the upper hand tonight, but, mark my words, he won’t emerge out of Hell in a Cell victorious. No, he will be brutalized to an extreme, perhaps in a way that reminds fans of that famous (or infamous) Kurt Angle match.

Yeah, it’s about to get scary.
