5 decisions at Hell in a Cell that can revitalize WWE

WWE is currently having a really tough time. With the National Football League on its neck, WWE is finding it really hard to maintain its rating as well as the live attendance. Their poor booking, especially on RAW, is not helping as well.

Being a 3-hour show, RAW does not have enough rivalries heading into Hell in a Cell 2018. The booking has been so bad that even the appearances of legends like The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Mick Foley could not help RAW.

However, WWE is known for its ability to pick itself from these situations. For that, the creative needs to get some booking decisions right. Here are 5 booking decisions at Hell in a Cell that could revitalize WWE.

#5. Have a definite winner in the WWE championship match

Samoa Joe will face AJ Styles again for his WWE championship.

WWE has a knack of dragging dream feuds into long meaningless rivalries. They did it with Styles - Nakamura rivalry and are certainly heading in the same direction for the Styles - Joe feud. Their Summerslam bout ended in a DQ finish, when Samoa Joe disrespected the phenomenal one's wife, causing AJ to snap. The build-up to this match so far has been personal and intense.

However, having another scrawny finish will do no good for either of the men and it is imperative that their hell in a cell bout will have a definite winner. There are plenty of superstars in the Smackdown locker room waiting for a title shot and with so many fresh matchups possible, it would be illogical to drag this feud further.

#4. Let Hardy and Orton have a say in their match

Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton have a long history.

Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy are no strangers to each other. These two gentlemen have incredible in-ring chemistry between them and quite deservingly is given a match inside Hell in a Cell. Since this is the only Cell match that involves a high flyer, it is imperative that Jeff Hardy has absolute authority over his spots in this match. The charismatic enigma is known for taking high risks and undoubtedly will risk his body in his first ever match inside the demonic structure. Orton, being one of the most experienced guys in the cell, should also get into the mix of the production of this match.

If WWE decides to force their usual match formula, this will go on as a normal hell in a cell match. But with Hardy's willingness to put his body on the line and Orton's experience, this match has all the potential to become something special.

#3. Let Drew and Dolph retain their titles

Rollins and Ambrose are challenging Drew and Dolph for the RAW tag team championship

The best thing about Brock Lesnar's run with the Universal Championship was the emergence of Intercontinental championship onto the main event scene. Seth Rollins did a great job with it in his initial run. However, after reclaiming it from Ziggler at Summerslam, he is yet to do anything with it. In fact, the title got barely any screen time post-Summerslam. And now, he, along with his SHIELD brother Dean Ambrose, is challenging the newly crowned RAW tag team champions Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler for the RAW tag team titles.

Putting the title onto Ambrose and Rollins would not only rob the returning Drew McIntyre of a long title run but also ruin what was something special - Seth Rollins' intercontinental open challenge.

#2. Let Becky go over Charlotte

Becky Lynch will challenge Charlotte Flair for the SD women's championship

The ongoing Becky Lynch - Charlotte Flair feud is one of the, if not the best angle in the history of WWE women's division. Heading into Hell in a Cell, this is undoubtedly the hottest feud. To summarize, Becky got her first one on one match for SD women's title against Carmella after a long time. However, a returning Charlotte was "handed the opportunity" to insert herself into the title picture. At Summerslam, Charlotte pinned Becky to clinch her 7th women's championship. This caused the Irish lass kicker to snap and attack her best friend.

The ideal booking would be to have Becky go over Charlotte to clinch back her long-lost title. However, with Survivor series around the corner, and WWE is hell-bent to have a Charlotte - Ronda singles match in the near future and they might pull the trigger on it at the upcoming Survivor series. This would mean that Becky will have to lose her hell in a cell match against the queen. Hopefully, WWE will have Becky go over and postpone their dream match to another day

#1. Have Strowman win the universal championship

Braun Strowman is overdue for a Universal title reign.

It is absolutely difficult to comprehend the fact that Braun Strowman has not yet captured the big red belt. He has been the best thing on the RAW roster since Wrestlemania 33 and has connected with the WWE universe organically. He is even booked as an unstoppable monster. However, whenever he has an important match, he loses every single time. His momentum was incredible heading into his Universal title match at No Mercy 2017 but succumbed to a single F5.

However, his scheduled title match against Roman Reigns at hell in a cell is even more crucial. He won the money in the bank briefcase ahead of many other talents who needed it more than the monster among men. If Braun loses this match, he will go back to square one, beating mid-carders. That also means his cash in would be a failure, implying WWE squandered an entire PPV and robbed someone of a potential world championship opportunity, just to protect Roman Reigns. As long as Roman is WWE's "guy", he will receive championship reigns and title opportunity. But Braun losing here will destroy all the aura associated with his character.
