10 most overrated matches in WWE in 2017

#8 Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens, Hell in a Cell

The Hell in a Cell main event wasn't the classic WWE would have you believe it was.

There’s a tradition for world title matches to close out shows, but when Hell in a Cell rolled around this past October, it didn’t feel out of place for a non-title match to get the nod for the last spot on the show. Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens had built a heated rivalry with one another. Combine their story with Owens’s impressive performances in big match scenarios and McMahon being a special attraction, put them inside the Cell, and things were looking good.

In the end McMahon-Owens wasn’t bad by any stretch, and the swerve finish of Sami Zayn helping Owens was exciting and well executed. The match, on the whole, wasn’t anything to write home about, though. It was longer than it should have been—particularly for the anticlimactic brawl on top of the Cell. The match all built to the big spot of McMahon leaping off the cage, but it was a spot seen before, that anyone could see coming, and that he predictably missed.

WWE tried to sell this one as an all-time epic when, in reality, it wasn’t even the best Hell in a Cell Match of the night, as The New Day and The Usos had put on a far superior exhibition to open the show.
