Hell in a Cell is a show that needs to see all of the RAW champions hold on to their belts leading into Survivor Series. When it comes to Reigns, this is important because it could help him become the silent destructive machine that he needs to be. His Hell in a Cell match can be a turning point for his character.
The motto “gotta keep Roman strong” rings true here. After a gruelling match, Reigns’ second trip to Hell changes him. He no longer smirks and makes jokes like a low-rent John Cena. That’s one thing that is so troubling about the HIAC matches over the years.
One thing that is always stressed is that nobody walks out of that structure the same man as when he walked in. It will change a man.
If Reigns has to reach his breaking point in an intense match with Rusev, then he can begin to edge closer to his true potential. Wisecracking isn’t for him. This match is the perfect opportunity to garner the change his character needs.

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.
