We are merely a couple of days away from WWE Hell in a Cell 2020, a show which has a promising yet very short match card. With just five matches announced for WWE Hell in a Cell, the main roster seems to be following the NXT TakeOver approach of having fewer matches but giving more time to each of them.
As many as three top champions are set to defend their titles inside the deadly structure of Hell in a Cell. Also, the Money in the Bank contract will also be on the line. Stakes are really high, and one can expect the pay-per-view to have some huge consequences on WWE programming going forward.
Without further ado, let's take a look at five bold predictions for WWE Hell in a Cell. Be sure to comment down and let us know who do you think will walk out as the winners.
#5 Tucker turns on Otis to help The Miz win the Money in the Bank contract at Hell in a Cell
One of the late editions to the match card of Hell in a Cell, announced on the go-home SmackDown episode, is Otis defending his Money in the Bank contract against The Miz. Otis becoming Mr. Money in the Bank 2020 was one of the biggest shockers of the year, but unfortunately, it hasn't turned out so well.
While WWE could easily book Otis to defeat The Miz and retain his contract, it's highly unlikely that the victory will help him gain much momentum. With Roman Reigns being on SmackDown as the Universal Champion, there's close to zero chance of Otis looking as a real threat to The Tribal Chief.
Instead, WWE could throw us all a curveball and let The Miz win the Money in the Bank contract, courtesy of Tucker betraying Otis. The Heavy Machinery was separated at the WWE Draft 2020 and while the two have still appeared together, it would be best to break the alliance for good and book both the Superstars as singles competitors.
#4 Jimmy Uso and Rikishi return and get involved at WWE Hell in a Cell
One of the most anticipated matches at WWE Hell in a Cell is Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against his cousin Jey Uso inside Hell in a Cell. Now, this isn't just a normal Hell in a Cell match but with an added stipulation of an "I Quit" match. If that is not all, there are also some "major consequences" that if Jey loses, he and his family along with Jimmy's will be removed from the family.
The stakes are as high as they get for Jey Uso and the question now is, how will this match end? One thing is for sure that Roman Reigns will punish his cousin mercilessly inside the Cell but it won't be easy for the Tribal Chief to make Jey Uso quit, as witnessed from their previous encounter at WWE Clash of Champions.
But with family being involved, the chances are that someone like Jimmy Uso or even Rikishi can return to interfere in the match. While WWE can pull-off a shocker and let them help Jey Uso to defeat Roman Reigns, it is highly unlikely that The Tribal Chief will be booked to say "I Quit". Instead, the two can interfere and call it quits on behalf of Jey and joining Roman Reigns to form a mega-alliance. Jey Uso can then join them later as well.
#3 RETRIBUTION attacks the WWE Champion at Hell in a Cell
This Sunday, the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is all set to defend his title against the "Legend Killer" Randy Orton inside Hell in a Cell. While Orton is a Hell in a Cell veteran, McIntyre has never competed in this match type. While the possibility of Randy Orton defeating Drew McIntyre to walk out with his 14th world title can't be ruled out, McIntyre winning this makes more sense somehow.
Now, WWE Hell in a Cell will be followed by Survivor Series 2020 next month and we might see the build-up to the pay-per-view start this Sunday itself. One of the matches being speculated for the show is the traditional Survivor Series match between the newly formed RETRIBUTION against Team WWE or RAW.
The best man to lead Team RAW in such a case would be none other than the WWE Champion himself, Drew McIntyre, whom we have previously seen lead the Red brand roster against RETRIBUTION. At WWE Hell in a Cell, Drew McIntyre can defeat Randy Orton but his celebration could be cut short by RETRIBUTION, setting this match up for Survivor Series next month. Who do you think can join Drew McIntyre's team?
#2 Finn Balor appears at WWE Hell in a Cell to set-up a huge Survivor Series match
Last year's WWE Survivor Series was booked as a "RAW vs SmackDown vs NXT" pay-per-view for brand supremacy. It turned out to be a great show and WWE might plan to repeat the same theme again this year. And to kickstart the build, a massive appearance could take place at WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday.
In almost what seems like a fantasy booking, NXT Champion Finn Balor could appear at Hell in a Cell to set-up a huge Survivor Series match. Last year, the world champions on all three brands didn't compete in a triple-threat match like all other champions. But could that change this year?
Finn Balor appearing at Hell in a Cell to call out both the WWE Champion and Universal Champion for a massive clash at Survivor Series would be a great way to start the build towards one of WWE's "Big 4". This, of course, depends on whether Balor is cleared to compete after his recent surgery for his jaw. WWE can also book an entire invasion angle from NXT like last year but that should ideally be saved for later. Finn Balor vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns sure sounds like a blockbuster match.
#1 Jeff Hardy and Elias form an alliance at WWE Hell in a Cell
One of the biggest returns at the recently concluded WWE Draft 2020 was that of Elias. The Drifter had been away from the programming since being involved in a storyline car accident on SmackDown. Elias attacked Jeff Hardy upon his return and the two are now set to clash at WWE Hell in a Cell.
While there is not much hype around this match at Hell in a Cell, this could ideally lead to another huge angle or storyline. Logically, this match doesn't make sense as Jeff Hardy was framed to be the car driver during that segment with the actual culprit not revealed. But Elias probably didn't watch SmackDown when he was out injured and missed that.
This could change at WWE Hell in a Cell with Elias learning the truth and could then form an alliance with Jeff Hardy to go after the actual culprit. The question is, who could be revealed as the offender? Could WWE go down the safe road and reveal Sheamus to be the guy, or will there be a surprising name behind all of this? We might find that out at Hell in a Cell this Sunday.
