Roman Reigns will enter the Cell for the second time, while Rusev steps inside for the first time ever.

Perkins is the strong babyface champion that the Cruiserweight Division needs.

I expect that TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick will be a better match at Hell in a Cell than their underwhelming contest at Night of Champions. This time they have a very clear good guy and bad guy, so the dynamic will be different.
It appears that they are setting up Kendrick to win the title in order to have TJP chase him to win it back, but that would be the wrong way to go. The Cruiserweight Division needs a strong champion to lead them, and the way to do it is to keep Perkins as the babyface champion who is at the helm of the new era of the cruiserweights.
Kendrick is great and if he intends to stick around for a while he is certainly deserving of a title reign in 2017, but 2016 should be the year of TJP.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
