#1 Sami Zayn turns heel

Why Sami Why?
Why Sami, why?

I think it is pretty safe to assume the 47-year-old Shane McMahon is an adrenaline junkie. How else would you explain his willingness to jump off the top of a Hell in a Cell on two separate occasions? It is quite strange he is willing to do things that most 'full-time' WWE wrestlers would not do.

The match was a fun and brutal way to end the show. Owens and McMahon certainly took a lot of risks in, around and above the Hell in a Cell on Sunday night. While I still think it is really stupid for Shane to jump off the Hell in a Cell for the second time, it wasn’t completely surprising. But the heel turn was.

In a beautifully timed moment, Sami Zayn pulled Kevin Owens out of the way just in the nick of time. Since Kevin has spent two years insulting and beating up Sami Zayn on-camera, it was the best surprising moment of the show. He even helped Kevin win the match.

Zayn is a criminally underused talent and maybe that will be some of his justification for helping out Owens. Whatever way it goes, I love the possibilities of the Sami Zayn heel turn going forward. He deserves it.
