Bryan furiously goes after Miz and a scuffle in the ring, sees The Miz throw Bryan ONTO Brie! Bryan, shocked, looks to his wife concerned, only to get blindsided by The Miz. Maryse then assaults Brie and throws her in the ring. Brie fights back and Bryan joins the party!

Miz momentary distracts Brie, who gets attacked from behind by Maryse. The returning Maryse starts showboating while Bryan and the crowd cheer Brie on.

Brie quickly counters Maryse into a Yes Lock but Miz pulls Brie's leg out of the ring! It's a DQ!

Brie Bella def. Maryse by DQ

Brie runs after the IT Couple and slams Maryse against the ring apron. Did you know that's the hardest part of the ring? *sarcasm*

The Miz starts ranting on the mic about Brie calling them cowards. He calls off the match. What?

Brie takes the mic and tells Maryse that she always knew she was a coward.

Maryse comes out to her theme song after a long time. Right as the bell rings, Maryse escapes the ring and Miz gives her a bit of a pep talk.

It's time for the main event!

Brie Bella vs Maryse

Maryse is returning to singles competition for the first time in about 8 years! Crazy to think about

Asuka and Naomi have a backstage segment together and they seem to be forming some sort of alliance together. Goofy but funny!

Almas is momentarily distracted but he reverses Truth's pin and grabs his tights for the three-count.

Andrade 'Cien' Almas def. R-Truth

R-Truth slickly evades Almas' offense and starts showboating a bit. He splashes on Almas and goes for the scissor kick but misses. Almas sits in the mid-ropes with the Tranquilo pose and Zelina joins him. Carmella hilariously pulls her away and slams her on the floor!

Truth and Almas start off in a hard-hitting affair. There's a whole lot of flips and kicks and it's already entertaining. How good is Almas and how underrated is R-Truth?

It looks like it's time for R-Truth vs Andrade 'Cien' Almas

Carmella is out first with R-Truth. It looks like their new alliance is official!

Aiden's sacrifice isn't in vain. Rusev superkicks Sheamus and pins him!

Rusev Day def. The Bar to become #1 contenders for the SmackDown Tag Team titles

RUSEV DAY VS NEW DAY FOR THE SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP IS OFFICIAL FOR HELL IN A CELL!

Sheamus gets ready for the Brogue Kick but AIDEN ENGLISH EATS THE BULLET!

They've now cornered Rusev trying to isolate him but he manages to knock Cesaro off. Sheamus subsequently hits a powerslam but isn't successful in putting them away. He looks a bit frustrated now

The Bar team up to hit the double DDT on Rusev, who kicks out

Rusev has the accolade on Cesaro! Sheamus interjects on time to break it up.

Sheamus is like a pitbull chasing after Aiden English. English moves out of the way and Lana hypes Rusev to tag in. New Day's commentary does make it a lot more interesting for sure! The Bulgarian Brute is hyped and he's getting ready to CRUSH!

The Bar manage to get back in control as we head to break! That's an awful lot of commercial breaks. Why?

Rusev Day are showing fantastic teamwork, throwing The Bar out of the ring. Rusev then assists English in hitting an over-the-top dive onto the former tag champs

Rusev and Sheamus begin the action and The Bar do what they do best - quick tag ins and tag outs to wear out their opponents more. Rusev manages to tag English who hits the crossbody

She puts her in an armbar and makes a statement before Hell In A Cell

Charlotte celebrates but a black haired member of the WWE Universe attacks her. Of course it's Becky Lynch!

The Queen gets the figure-8 for the win!!

Charlotte Flair def. Sonya DeVille

The Queen lifts her up with all her power and powerbombs her!

Back in the ring, DeVille and Charlotte are going back and forth. The upstart DeVille seems to be holding her own. DeVille catches Charlotte in the triangle. Will she tap??

Flair counters a sunset flip into a new move, a knee pressing her head down. Mandy Rose's distraction fails and results in Charlotte whacking DeVille in the face with the big boot!

DeVille starts off strong, with a flurry of offense against Charlotte Flair.

.@MsCharlotteWWE hopes you're watching her match, @BeckyLynchWWE... #SDLive pic.twitter.com/a3hNxK6PJQ
