Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio will not just clash at Hell in a Cell, but they will destroy one another inside the Cell as well. Two veterans who've seen it all will now tell the story of a father, enraged at the treatment of his son by a megalomaniac who will do whatever it takes to win.
Roman Reigns has been the face of Friday nights for a really long time. Rey Mysterio has been a fan-favorite since the 90s when he blazed his legacy in the fabled Cruiserweight division of WCW.
Either man will be a great Universal Champion (one of them is) but in this article, we shall measure the pros and cons. Why should Roman Reigns retain his Universal Championship? Why should Rey Mysterio capture the most prized possession on the SmackDown brand?
Let's talk about both sides of the story.
#1 Roman Reigns should defeat Rey Mysterio because he's the best in the business right now
Roman Reigns is the end-all and be-all of sports entertainment. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said as much during a recent podcast.
"I've said for the last three years that Roman (Reigns) is the best guy in the business just because he's a guy that goes out and performs at a very, very high level but everyone that work(s) with Roman, they have their best match. They come up another level." said Booker T
To WWE's credit, they've ensured that Roman Reigns hasn't lost a singles match back since he returned to the company and won the WWE Universal Championship. It may not be the best decision, under these circumstances, to have Rey Mysterio defeat him to capture the title he so proudly wears.
Roman Reigns has done it all in WWE, but somehow, this stint is special.
#2 Rey Mysterio should win because the product really needs a shake-up
Why should Rey Mysterio defeat Roman Reigns at Hell in a Cell? Because the good old days when WWE was unpredictable are long gone. Everyone expects Roman Reigns to pick up the victory in this contest, but maybe there's interference by Jimmy Uso that leads to the upset. Rey Mysterio winning, by any means, would just shake things up!
Nobody likes a story where you know what happens on the last page. Unpredictability and surprises make wrestling significantly more fun.
#3 Roman Reigns should win because there are more exciting opponents on the horizon
There are rumors doing the rounds that Roman Reigns vs. John Cena is on the horizon. There's also talk of a Brock Lesnar return, and if that happens, he could very well come for the current Universal Champion instead of Bobby Lashley.
Of course, Roman Reigns vs. Jimmy Uso is also a road we can travel down. Rey Mysterio, as legendary as he is, doesn't have the star power for John Cena's return match.
#4 Rey Mysterio should win to give him one final moment in the sun
Before we talk about Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio, let's discuss a man they're both very familiar with. Seth Rollins has been an ally and adversary of Roman Reigns in the past, and had a very memorable feud with Rey Mysterio, more recently.

Why should Rey Mysterio defeat Roman Reigns? Let's just say that despite the fact that he is in great shape and wrestles at the highest level, his days may be numbered at 46 years old (yes, age catches up with one and all).
One final moment in the sun before the Master of the 619 hangs up his mask will be more than deserved.
#5 Roman Reigns win because Rey Mysterio is already a Champion
The upcoming Hell in a Cell match seems a bit odd because Rey Mysterio is already the tag team champion and he should be in a different storyline! Yes, there have been double champions in the past, but Rey Mysterio does not need the win.
Tag team wrestling has always been an afterthought in WWE which is unfair to all the stars in the division. For Rey Mysterio to win the Universal Championship would just relegate his other title to the back again!
