Universal Champion Roman Reigns was all set to defend his title inside Hell in a Cell this Sunday against one-half of the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Rey Mysterio. However, things suddenly changed with Rey sending a Tweet that he can't wait to fight the Tribal Chief.

Roman Reigns was quick to respond and soon WWE made a massive announcement. The Universal Champion will now be defending his title against Rey Mysterio on this week's SmackDown, inside Hell in a Cell. The decision was a massive shocker to fans who were left wondering what the reason was behind the move.

As things stand, Roman Reigns is not scheduled for any match at WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday. However, that could change depending on what happens on SmackDown.

Let's take a look at five last-minute matches that WWE could book for The Tribal Chief at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. Comment down below and let us know your thoughts on the same.


#5 Roman Reigns vs. Dominik Mysterio

The most likely finish to tonight's Hell in a Cell match between Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio will see the former pick up a dominant victory. We might also see The Tribal Chief teach Rey a lesson, unleashing a brutal beatdown on him.

If that happens, there's a possibility that Rey's son and tag team partner Dominik Mysterio might step up to take revenge. This could set up a Hell in a Cell match between Roman Reigns and Dominik Mysterio this Sunday. If that happens, it will undoubtedly be a massive moment for the young star.

In all likeliness, Roman Reigns would destroy Dominik at the pay-per-view, asserting his dominance. We already saw The Tribal Chief deliver a powerbomb over the top of the ring to Dominik last week. A brutal post-match beatdown could garner massive heel heat for the champion.

#4 Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio

The match between Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio tonight will be quite unique. It will be the first Hell in a Cell match to take place on SmackDown. It will also be the first televised Hell in a Cell match since 1998 to not take place on a pay-per-view.

A very possible outcome of the match could be a controversial finish, with Reigns using some of his heel tactics. If that happens, we might see the two clash once again at WWE Hell in a Cell, where they were originally supposed to fight.

While it would make little sense for WWE to have the same match once again, it's not like they haven't done that before. Maybe the entire purpose of having Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio on SmackDown is just to boost the ratings.


#3 Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio

Speaking of controversial finishes, we might see Jey Uso help Roman Reigns tonight on SmackDown. Dominik Mysterio could then come out and even the odds for his father.

Ultimately, this could lead to a tag team match at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. Roman Reigns could team up with Jey Uso to take on the SmackDown Tag Team Champions. WWE could further raise the stakes by making it a title match for Rey and Dominik's belts.

#2 Roman Reigns vs. Jimmy Uso

Many fans were expecting Roman Reigns to step inside Hell in a Cell this year against Jimmy Uso. Last year, The Tribal Chief fought Jey Uso inside the structure and the two told an incredible story. Fans wanted to see the second part of that angle with Roman Reigns this time forcing Jimmy to acknowledge him.

Lately, things have been getting worse every week between Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns. We are likely headed towards a match between the two and WWE might just book it at WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday. Roman Reigns could unleash a beatdown on Rey Mysterio following their match on SmackDown tonight.

It could be Jimmy Uso who saves Rey, possibly attacking Reigns, setting up a match between the two at Hell in a Cell.


#1 Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso

Last week on SmackDown, Jey Uso snapped and told Roman Reigns that he's tired of him. In a previous segment, he also told Jimmy Uso that he is stuck in the middle of this and doesn't know how to get out of it. There have been several signs that Jey Uso could ultimately side with his brother Jimmy and rebel against The Tribal Chief.

Following Roman Reigns' match tonight on SmackDown, Jimmy could step up to stop Reigns from severely injuring Rey Mysterio. Roman Reigns could then attack Jimmy, only for Jey Uso to save his brother and go after Roman Reigns.

This could set up a handicap match between Roman Reigns and The Usos at WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday. Reigns could defeat both of them, asserting his authority as the 'Head of the Table'. Ultimately, this could lead to Jimmy and Jey acknowledging Roman Reigns and turning heel properly.
