Kevin Owens ecstatic at uncovering Ezekiel's real identity
RAW star Kevin Owens was gleaming after he defeated Ezekiel at the Hell in a Cell premium live event.
Ezekiel has seemingly gotten under Owens' skin over the past couple of months since he arrived on the RAW after WrestleMania. A frenzied Owens was attempting to unveil his opponent's true identity. He resorted to having Zeke take a lie detector test, and the latter successfully passed the exam.
The former Universal Champion kept yelling "Elias" at his opponent during his match at the premium live event. He even screamed at the camera, yelling "smile Elias" at the top of his lungs while holding his opponent between the ropes. In the end, Owens hit Ezekiel with a Stunner and pinned him for the win.
Following his match, in interaction with Sarah Schreiber for WWE Digital Exclusive, the Canadian star marveled at the sunset from the arena. When asked about his thoughts on the match, Owens said he was ecstatic to have defeated Ezekiel with the same strategy he used on Elias a few years ago:
"Well, so here's the thing," said Owens. "I beat Ezekiel, as you call him, tonight, using the exact same strategy that I've used in the past to be the Elias. You know what that indicates?" (from 1:12 to 1:21)

Kevin Owens said the advertisement for his match at Hell in a Cell was wrong
When Owens' match for Hell in a Cell was advertised, the RAW star said it was an error as he was facing Elias and not Ezekiel:
No it’s not.
It’s OWENS vs. ELIAS!!!!! twitter.com/wwe/status/153…
On an edition of RAW last month, Owens tried to have a DNA test done on Ezekiel with the assistance of Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis). But much to his dismay, his friends ruined the results with barbeque sauce.
While it seems the former Universal Champion is satisfied that he has unveiled Ezekiel's true identity, we'll have to wait and see whether this win will be enough for him to move on.
Suggested: Vince McMahon hated Kevin Owens' WrestleMania match so much that he had to say this!
