In less than 24 hours, WWE will take San Antonio's AT&T Center by storm as we get set for the tenth annual edition of the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. You could catch the event live on the WWE Network, which is free for new subscribers.

The Hell in a Cell structure has some rich history and an incredible background. The structure has played host to some of the most surprising moments in WWE history. Who could ever forget The Miz and R-Truth hijacking the cell as camera men when Hell in a Cell 2011 went off air? What about the treacherous Paul Bearer betrayal of The Undertaker at Hell in a Cell 2010?

Perhaps the greatest debut in WWE history took place inside the satanic structure, when Kane, flanked by Paul Bearer, made a shocking debut at Bad Blood during the first ever Hell in a Cell match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.

Although, WWE seldom pulls of such shockers,Hell in a Cell might have some jaw-dropping moments that fans may remember for years to come.


3. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins win the tag-team titles

Dolph and Drew are the current Raw tag-team champions.

It's extremely hysterical that two talented stars like Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are walking into a match as under-dogs, with little to no chances of success.

The reason is that Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler won the tag-titles around two weeks ago and Hell in a Cell is too soon for the duo to drop their titles. Given that the feud between The Shield and Braun Strowman's 'Dogs of War' is set to continue all the way into WWE Super-Show Down, it's likely that these two teams will collide somewhere down the line, which is why many experts and analysts would consider a tag-title change at Hell in a Cell an unlikely scenario.

With that said, there's a high chance that Dolph and Drew will retain their title, by hook or crook.

2. Samoa Joe defeats AJ Styles clean

The rivalry between Samoa Joe and AJ Styles has been one of the most authentic and real rivalries we've seen in recent memory. The bitterness and ill will these two share is palpable. This might will be the rivalry of the year.

However, even though many expect Joe to win the title at HIAC, I would consider it as a massive surprise if Joe walks out as the new WWE champion, here's why: Styles has defied all predictions and odds to retain his title time and time again. Many expected Shinsuke Nakamura to win the title, but Styles prevailed on every single occasion. The same could be said about his encounter with Joe at SummerSlam, but we all know how that ended.

Joe does have a decent chance of winning his first major championship in WWE, but don't get your hopes that high up!

1. Jeff Hardy appears as 'Brother Nero' and defeats Randy Orton

Randy Orton's strange obsession with Jeff Hardy has taken 'The Charismatic Enigma' to a place he has never been before. Jeff has shown his malicious side to Orton as well when he viciously put Orton through a table with a Swanton Bomb and enjoyed inflicting pain on his arch-nemesis.

Orton's malevolent and spiteful actions on Hardy have really horrified the WWE Universe and have taken this rivalry to the extreme structure known as Hell in a Cell. Given how much Hardy has been tormented and tortured by Orton, it's possible that he unleashes his inner demons inside the demonic structure in attempt to classify Orton as 'obsolete' and delete him for good.

We've already seen ' Woken' Matt Hardy in the WWE, it's time for Jeff to reach his awakening point and what better place to do that than Hell in a Cell.
