Trending
Three championships will be on the line at the pay-per-view. The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and Jey Uso go to battle yet again for the WWE Universal Championship.
Another blue brand title that will be decided in a Hell in a Cell match is the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship, when Bayley defends against Sasha Banks. For the RAW brand, Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton for the third time at a pay-per-view.
With such a stacked card comprising of promising matches, WWE Hell in a Cell is bound to be a success. This year's Hell in a Cell also marks a milestone for a few WWE Superstars and the introduction of a certain unheard match type.
#7 Drew McIntyre makes his debut inside Hell in a Cell
In a day's time, Drew McIntyre will be stepping into his first Hell in a Cell match. The Scottish Psychopath will be defending his WWE Championship against Randy Orton, who will be entering his eighth Hell in a Cell match.
McIntyre has been on a great run since he won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 in under five minutes. The Scottish Psychopath has beaten formidable opponents such as Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton.
The upcoming match on Sunday will mark the third encounter between The Viper and the current WWE Champion. McIntyre has gotten the better of Orton on two previous occasions. Will The Viper's experience in the Hell in a Cell format be the difference maker on Sunday?
#6 & #5 Bayley makes her Hell in a Cell match debut, SmackDown Women's Championship defended inside for the first time
The second WWE Superstar who will be stepping into Hell in a Cell for the first time this Sunday is WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, Bayley. She will defend her championship against her former best friend and now bitter rival, The Boss, Sasha Banks.
Bayley turned on Sasha Banks on an episode of WWE SmackDown after Payback. The duo failed to regain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at the show. Bayley's attack on Banks afterwards put her out of action for a few weeks.
At WWE Clash of Champions, Sasha Banks returned to blindside the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion after she got herself disqualified in a title match against Asuka.
The Hell in a Cell match on Sunday marks Bayley's first, and marks Sasha Banks' second. Even though The Boss has been in more Hell in a Cell matches than her opponent on Sunday, she is yet to walk out of the setting victorious.
#4 & #3 Jey Uso makes his debut inside Hell In A Cell as a singles competitor in a first-ever "I Quit" HIAC match
Another WWE Superstar who will be making his singles debut inside the Hell in a Cell is Jey Uso. The former Tag Team Champion has been in a Hell in a Cell match before, but he had his brother Jimmy Uso by his side. This time, not only is he alone, but he is fighting in the first-ever "I Quit" Hell in a Cell match against Roman Reigns.
In 2017, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso teamed up to face Big E and Xavier Woods in a Tornado Tag Team match. The Usos came out victorious at the pay-per-view. That was the only time Jey Uso had stepped into Hell in a Cell.
In Jey Uso's previous encounter with Roman Reigns, The Big Dog dominated to such an extent that his twin brother, Jimmy had to throw in the white towel to forfeit the match.
#2 Money in the Bank briefcase defence at Hell In A Cell
Back in May, Otis beat six other WWE Superstars to win the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match. Now, at Hell in a Cell, he's defending the MITB briefcase.
Since winning the MITB briefcase, Otis hinted at cashing it in for a shot at the Universal Championship only once. In the past few weeks, The Miz and John Morrison have berated Otis for not cashing in the briefcase and have said that he needs to do so.
On the most recent eipsode of WWE SmackDown, it was decided that Otis will defend the MITB briefcase against The Miz at Hell in a Cell. The winner of the match will walk out with the briefcase and will be able to challenge a champion of his choosing in the future.
#1 No mid-card championships being defended at Hell in a Cell
The Hell in a Cell pay-per-view is hours away and WWE have only announced five matches as of this writing. At the PPV, the WWE Universe will see three Championship matches taking place. The titles being defended are the WWE Championship, the WWE Universal Championship and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
WWE may not include all championships at every PPV. However, given that the promotion has relatively newly-crowned mid-card champions in Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley, benching them is unusual. None of the Tag Team Championships will be defended at the PPV, either.
Given that the WWE Draft took place recently, WWE may not have had enough time to build an engaging feud for the mid card titles. But, the WWE RAW Women's Champion, Asuka hasn't shifted brands. WWE could have found a challenger for the Empress Of Tomorrow for Hell in a Cell.
With only five matches, WWE Hell in a Cell looks to become the PPV with the least number of bouts.
