WWE Hell in a Cell is only a few hours away, but surprisingly, only four matches have been confirmed for the event. If the company decides to go with these four matches only and not include any other match to the event, then the PPV will be short and sweet, which will make it easy to digest.

WWE has put on two great go-home episodes of RAW and SmackDown, which makes Hell in a Cell a must-watch event. This time, the card isn't filled with fillers and fans will go home early and happy if the PPV ends decently. Unfortunately, when it comes to booking decisions, WWE often makes odd booking decisions that leave fans disappointed.

In order for the Hell in a Cell PPV to be an enjoyable and memorable show, here are five big mistakes that mustn't happen at the event.


#5 Seth Rollins pinning The Fiend to retain the Universal Championship

Seth Rollins is set to defend his Universal Championship against The Fiend Bray Wyatt, which will take place inside the Hell in a Cell structure. This will obviously be the main event, so it's no doubt going to be a very interesting match.

Rollins is going to be locked inside the Devil's playground with a sadistic monster who will go to any lengths to decimate him, and the cell allows him to do so. The Fiend is one of, if not, the biggest or the hottest character in the entire company right now. He has a lot of momentum going into the event.

Now Rollins owns two victories over the current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, so he has what it takes to put Bray Wyatt down. However, if that happens, WWE could soon regret it. The last thing the company wants to do is to throw away everything that they put in to make The Fiend what he is right now. Losing to Rollins will affect him negatively.

That's why at Hell in a Cell, Rollins must not defeat The Fiend to retain his Universal Championship.

#4 Not adding more matches onto the card

I don't recall any other time when WWE had only four matches confirmed for a PPV that was scheduled to take place in a few hours. If you do, be sure to let me know in the comments below.

Many fans complain that WWE's PPVs are too long and tedious and they're filled with meaningless matches, but that still doesn't explain why WWE decided to have only four matches for Hell in a Cell.

Having four matches in an event as big as this one means that there will be a lot of unhappy Superstars. There are so many champions on the main roster right now, and for them to sit out a PPV for no apparent reason, it won't sit well with them. AJ Styles, for example, the current United States Champion and one of the biggest Superstars on the roster, won't defend his title at Hell in a Cell after competing in the pre-show for Clash of Champions.

It's not too late for WWE to add another match or two to fill out the card. They're notorious for doing things at the last minute, so this will not be their first time. Shinsuke Nakamura could defend his Intercontinental Championship against Ali while Roode and Ziggler could defend their RAW Tag Team Championships against The Viking Raiders.

#3 Becky Lynch retaining the RAW Women's Championship

The Man Becky Lynch will step inside Hell in a Cell for the first time in her career to take on The Boss Sasha Banks, with the RAW Women's Championship at stake. This is a pretty intense feud, and the cell is the perfect place for it to be settled. There will be no escape and no interruption, so the two Superstars will be free to tear each other apart as long as they please.

Sasha Banks disappeared from WWE after WrestleMania, and since returning, she has been pushed straight to the top of the women's division. The Boss not only saved the women's division, but she also saved Becky's title run, which was getting stale after the whole feud with Lacey Evans.

Sasha has all the credibility in the world to dethrone Lynch. She's a former RAW Women's Champion and Women's Tag Team Champion. She competed in the first women's Hell in a Cell match and even main evented the PPV in 2016. At this year's event, she needs to walk out with the title no matter what.

#2 Charlotte Flair defeating Bayley to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship

The Queen Charlotte Flair could walk out of Hell in a Cell a 10-time Women's Champion. She is set to collide with the role model Bayley in a normal title match. The match could end by pinfall, submission, count-out or by disqualification. That means Charlotte will have to beat Bayley, while Bayley doesn't have to beat Charlotte.

The Hugger recently shocked the world when she attacked Becky Lynch with a steel chair, thus turning heel and aligning herself with her best friend Sasha Banks. WWE could have a lot more planned for the SmackDown Women's Champion after the PPV. Fans will not really be excited to see Charlotte Flair become a champion for the 10th time.

Since Bayley is no longer a babyface, she doesn't need to abide by the rules. She has the advantage. She could cheat, get herself disqualified or intentionally lose so that she retains her title.

#1 The Fiend Bray Wyatt vs Seth Rollins ends in a no-contest

Seth Rollins and The Fiend will clash at Hell in a Cell, but these two have already faced each other several times in recent weeks. They faced each other at house shows, they had a dark match on RAW and so on. What's interesting here is the fact that some of these matches ended via disqualification.

Everyone knows that there are no DQs in a Hell in a Cell match, however, a no-contest is a possibility, as we have seen in the past. In 1998, The Big Red Machine Kane faced his then tag team partner Mankind in a Hell in a Cell match on an episode of RAW, and surprisingly, the match ended in a no-contest after Stone Cold Steve Austin interfered and attacked Kane.

Fast forward to 2018, Braun Strowman took on Roman Reigns inside the demonic structure, and the match ended in a no-contest after Brock Lesnar interfered. The Fiend and Seth Rollins' HIAC match could end in a no-contest as well, in order to protect the two Superstars from a loss.
