Kevin Owens‘ determination to prove that Ezekiel is truly Elias came to a head at WWE Hell in a Cell.
The two men have been feuding since the night after WrestleMania 38; Ezekiel introduced himself to Owens as Elias’ younger brother, and “The Prizefighter” immediately doubted him. Since then, Owens has been obsessed with showing the world that Elias and Ezekiel are the same person. Though Ezekiel passed a lie detector test, the foes finally agreed to face off in a match at WWE Hell in a Cell.
Right off the bat, Ezekiel gained the upper hand when he blasted Owens with a knee strike and hit a diving elbow for a two count. The former WWE Universal Champion gained the upper hand and grounded Ezekiel. Fueled by his desire to humiliate his rival, Owens screamed that he was in the ring with Elias and fish-hooked his mouth. The fan-favorite star rallied and yelled, “You know who I am.” He hit two Stinger Splashes and dropped Owens with a Spinebuster for a two count.

Owens hit a Pop-Up Powerbomb for another two count. He kept telling Ezekiel to admit that he’s Elias, but the rage only took Owens’ eye off the ball. Ezekiel rocked him with another knee to the face. Owens fired back with two superkicks and a Cannonball. He then hit a Stunner for the win.
