WWE Hell in a Cell 2017: 5 ways WWE could book Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon at Hell in a Cell

It's happening! The Money vs The Prizefighter inside a Hell in a Cell. Although this match doesn't have to be in a Cell in the first place because it has a falls count anywhere stipulation, it should be fun nonetheless and I'm sure KO and Shane-O are cooking up plenty of ways to end their match with plenty of damage.

The one thing that is probably certain is the fact that they're going to do something completely beyond the realm of sanity to end this match. WWE has booked plenty of violent Hell in a Cell finishes before. But this match seems like it might have the most brutal conclusion out of all thirty-six before it.

So let's put on our thumbtack-filled thinking caps and get those violent creative juices flowing. Here are 5 insane ways WWE could book the ending of KO vs Shane at Hell in a Cell.

#5 Mean Street revenge

When Shane McMahon returned to WWE a lot of people had one question in mind: what about the Mean Street Posse? Joey Abs, Pete Gas and Rodney were Shane-O's BFF's from the shady streets of Greenwich, Connecticut. But they haven't been seen for a while.

What if KO and Shane-O find themselves in a certain spot after escaping the cage. Shane might just already know he's getting out so he carries some bolt cutters with him and snaps the chain holding the door shut. This chain would need to be gimmicked, but the manner in which they need to make it work is up to them.

In the closing moments of the match, Pete Gas and Joey Abs could flank Kevin Owens and beat him down. As Rodney joins them, Shane with the help of his friends could toss KO off something high like the entrance ramp and send him through some kind of conveniently placed table next to the set.

This outside help could not only allow Shane McMahon to finally win a match during his return but it could also serve as a launching pad for the return of The Mean Street Posse.

#4 A fiery conclusion in Detroit

Things could really heat up at Hell in a Cell

The Fire Marshal in Detroit might not appreciate this kind of a thing. Besides, they just opened the Little Ceaser's Arena and it probably isn't in their playbook to burn the building to the ground so soon. Therefore, this spot might be squashed before it sees the light of day.

However, Bruce Prichard has stated on his podcast, Something To Wrestle With, that Fire Marshals might have been persuaded to allow fire spots in the past when they would have normally been nixed.

Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens could get themselves to a point where lighter fluid is introduced and a table is engulfed in flames. This kind of spot has iconic moment written all over it.

But if someone does wind up taking a bump through something that's on fire, let's hope the ringside crew is ready with extinguishers just in case this spot gets out of hand.

#3 Make it an old-school bloodbath!

Vince McMahon might have accidentally given the green light to his participation in this angle for Owens and Shane to see plenty of red at Hell in a Cell. Kevin Owens hasn't bladed in WWE so far, although he has been busted open before.

His debut match in NXT against CJ Parker actually saw KO "get the colour" when he took a palm strike to the bridge of the nose causing Owens to bleed like a stuck pig for a bit.

Blading in WWE is a huge no-no at this point. But some would say it's allowed if WWE doesn't acknowledge it actually happened. WWE says Vince McMahon didn't pre-blade himself before the KO headbutt segment which saw him bleeding a very specific amount in extremely convenient fashion.

Rumours suggest that Vince did pre-blade and just covered it with something like Vaseline which was obviously ruptured via Owens' stiff headbutt. However, WWE isn't admitting to anything.

No matter how it happens, KO and Shane-O could get bloody. Owens has bladed before in his career, so if he received the go-ahead to cut himself a few times to add drama, he probably would. Shane McMahon would certainly do the same and probably wouldn't mind doing a few more things other WWE Superstars aren't allowed to do like take a chair shot to the head.

The Prizefighter vs The Money is expected to main event Hell in a Cell so that nobody has to go on after this stuntfest. Therefore, if these two wild and crazy guys bleed all over the mat, at least nobody would have to worry about wrestling in the aftermath.

#2 Ladders can be a lot of fun

Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens are pretty innovative; therefore, I can only assume if they were given a few ladders those two could construct something extremely dangerous. If you add in the fact Shane McMahon apparently enjoys falling off of things that are really high in the air, you've got a pretty fine idea.

KO and Shane-O might find themselves battling to a point where ladders are entered into the mix. Any number of insane spots can be executed off of a ladder and either guy in this match would probably be game for just about anything.

This match needs to exit the Cell sooner or later because if they stayed in the Hell in a Cell it would make the falls count anywhere stipulation a moot point. So just imagine how dangerous things could get if Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon found themselves fighting on top of some sort of ladder configuration in a place where they should've never been.

I expect there to be plenty of "Holy sh*t" chants so Kevin Dunn probably needs to be ready with the mute button if Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon end up in this sort of spot.

#1 Pre-taped segment ends the match

This match could get out of hand in a big way

This Hell in a Cell match could get out of hand but one way to make sure it is controlled would be to carefully orchestrate something before the show even starts. Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon might find themselves fighting backstage and a pre-taped segment could wrap up their contest.

After some kind of sick bump on the big screen, Kevin Owens could be seen crawling through the curtain acting like he just took an extreme amount of punishment when in reality the spot was filmed much earlier.

If this idea sounds familiar, it's because I've previously covered this subject but it's worth noting again.

Bryan Alvarez recently discussed this idea on Wrestling Observer Live, thanks to Still Real To Us for the transcription.

“I know before they announced the stipulation, I know some of the ideas for this stupid thing Shane was going to do and it was inside the cell or around the cell area. So maybe they got together and they decided to start working things out and they had an idea and then Shane was like ‘you know what? I’m gonna kill myself here so let’s do a pre-tape and we’ll make it falls count anywhere so we can make it out of the cell.’ That very well could be what happened.”

WWE could do practically anything they want to in a pre-taped segment from a fiery explosion to an alien abduction. Only time will tell how the Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon match is going to turn out, but one thing is for sure: this will be a match nobody will want to miss.
