Will we see Anoa'i family drama at Hell in a Cell?

Hell in a Cell is less than three weeks away and will be WWE's final pay-per-view from the ThunderDome, with the return of live fans set in time for July's Money in the Bank event.

However, only two matches have been announced for Hell in a Cell thus far — Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair and Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre. Despite the name of the pay-per-view, WWE is yet to announce a Hell in a Cell match for the event.

The pay-per-view typically has multiple such matches on the card, and Lashley vs. McIntyre could receive the cell treatment this year. The upcoming week of WWE shows should give a clearer picture heading into Hell in a Cell. The company can create a truly memorable pay-per-view finale as we approach the final stages of WWE's ThunderDome era.

What matches would you like to see booked for Hell in a Cell? Sound off in the comments section below. With that in mind, let's take a look at five matches that may be added to the WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 card.


#5 R-K-Bro vs. The New Day may happen at Hell in a Cell 2021

Despite every tag team championship on WWE's main roster being defended in the past couple of weeks, Hell in a Cell may feature a non-title tag team match. The feud between R-K-Bro and The New Day could be settled at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Randy Orton's budding partnership with Riddle is one of the brightest aspects of WWE today. It may seem like an odd pairing, but the two of them have worked surprisingly well together. Riddle's goofy persona is brilliantly offset by The Viper's sinister persona.

It seems like Orton is bringing The King of Bros over to the dark side, as has been evident throughout their feud with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods on RAW. R-K-Bro's members have used each other's finishers in matches against Woods, with Riddle hitting the RKO and Randy Orton recently executing the Bro Derek.

While members of both teams have clashed in singles matches in the past few weeks, The New Day is yet to face R-K-Bro in tandem action. The eventual match might be saved for Hell in a Cell, and given the names involved, it will likely be a great contest.

Riddle could even turn heel by the end of the bout, setting the tone for his partnership with Randy Orton before hitting the road for live touring.

#4 Bianca Belair may defend the SmackDown Women's Championship against Bayley at Hell in a Cell 2021

WWE has teased a rematch between Bianca Belair and Bayley for Hell in a Cell. The two previously faced each other at WrestleMania Backlash, with the EST of WWE barely managing to retain her SmackDown Women's Championship. She had to use her signature braid to keep Bayley down.

The Role Model went on to blast Belair for "cheating" during their match. We can expect WWE to announce their impending title rematch for Hell in a Cell as soon as this Friday on SmackDown.

Belair and Bayley fought in a solid match at WrestleMania Backlash, with the latter standing out in particular. They could improve on that effort at Hell in a Cell by putting on a spectacular bout worthy of ending a high-profile title feud. However, their rivalry does not feel intense enough to require a Hell in a Cell stipulation.

Nevertheless, expect Bianca Belair and Bayley to deliver another great match against each other.

They have good chemistry, which has helped the current SmackDown Women's Champion maintain the momentum gained from her main event victory over Sasha Banks at WrestleMania.

#3 Sheamus may defend the U.S. Championship against Ricochet and Humberto Carrillo at Hell in a Cell 2021

On the road to Hell in a Cell, Sheamus suffered a broken nose during his match with Humberto Carrillo on RAW. This injury came directly after he faced Ricochet, as The Celtic Warrior lost in both instances.

The current U.S. title scenario will likely lead to a triple threat contest, with Sheamus defending the belt against both Carrillo and Ricochet. However, this particular match happening at Hell in a Cell is contingent on Sheamus's injury status heading into the event.

It hasn't been confirmed how much time he will miss, if any. One certainty is that the Irishman will not be vacating the U.S. title.

If he is cleared to return in time for Hell in a Cell, expect WWE to add this triple threat bout at the pay-per-view. It will be a fun contest, as Sheamus mixes well with a variety of opponents. Ricochet and Humberto Carrillo can provide some esthetically pleasing athleticism while bumping all over the place for their larger opponent.

Sheamus will look mightily impressive in this potential match, possibly retaining his belt and fending off two explosive challengers.

#2 Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso may clash at Hell in a Cell 2021

It seems like Roman Reigns might not be defending the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell. With just over two weeks remaining, WWE is unlikely to rush a storyline for The Tribal Chief. He is firmly at the heart of the potential drama among The Usos, though.

Reigns' next challenger might be Jimmy Uso, who could step up in time for Money in the Bank. But for now, the focus is on Jimmy's reunion with his brother, Jey. The Usos enjoyed a big win over The Street Profits last week and will take on Rey and Dominik Mysterio for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship this Friday.

However, Roman Reigns could directly influence the downfall of The Usos on SmackDown. Jimmy Uso has refused to fall in line and acknowledge Reigns, while the latter may have gotten into Jey Uso's head. This could lead to a huge showdown between the identical twins at Hell in a Cell.

A match between The Usos sounds pretty exciting, especially with all the drama surrounding it. What would be the consequences of defeat for either man?

If Jimmy wins, he may get to challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship. If Jey wins, Jimmy may have to acknowledge The Tribal Chief. Either way, things could get very interesting among the Anoa'i family on SmackDown. It would be unlikely for WWE not to book its hottest angle at Hell in a Cell.

#1 Seth Rollins may take on Cesaro inside Hell in a Cell

WWE has to announce a Hell in a Cell stipulation match soon, with Seth Rollins and Cesaro's feud being a prime candidate for the same.

The issue between the two of them has gotten intensely personal over the past few weeks. Rollins brutally assaulted Cesaro at the end of WrestleMania Backlash, following the latter's incredible effort against Roman Reigns. The Messiah then attacked him again on SmackDown and proceeded to mock him a week later.

We are awaiting Cesaro's return, which may be coupled with a challenge for Hell in a Cell. Judging by their WrestleMania 37 bout, a cell match between Cesaro and Rollins would be incredible. It should also serve as an excellent way to end this feud, which has been designed to get The Swiss Superman over all along.

A temporary crossover into the Universal Championship picture has undoubtedly boosted the story between Seth Rollins and Cesaro. Roman Reigns may have his eye on this match at Hell in a Cell, as should all of us.
