We are just through with WWE Summerslam 2017 and the episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live in the two days immediately following The Biggest Party of the Summer and boy have things heated up on the blue brand.
Baron Corbin is no longer Mr Money in the Bank, John Cena has left for Monday Night Raw, and Bobby Roode has made his glorious debut on Tuesday nights. There is a significant shift in the landscape of Smackdown Live as we enter the final quarter of 2017.
The next really big pay per view from the WWE's "B Show" is Hell in a Cell, which comes to us on October 8th from Detroit, Michigan and we thought we'd indulge ourselves and predict what the match card could be. So, without any further ado, here is the predicted match card for WWE Hell in a Cell 2017:
#1 Tye Dillinger vs Mike Kanellis (Singles match) (Kickoff Show)
Tye Dillinger has been steadily working his way up the card with a bunch of kick-off show matches and we expect that to continue at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017.
With Mike Kanellis going nowhere upwards anytime soon, we expect him to put Dillinger over clean.
Prediction: Tye Dillinger wins
#2 Naomi and Becky Lynch vs Lana and Tamina (Tag team match) (Kickoff show)
Lana and Tamina have been teasing the forging of a full-fledged alliance in the near future and we think that could come into the play for the second kick off show match at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017.
They need a babyface team to go up against and that leaves Becky Lynch and Naomi as their opponents. We think it'll be a dirty win for the heels.
Prediction: Lana and Tamina win by nefarious means
#3 The Fashion Police vs Erick Rowan and Luke Harper (Tag team match)
Erick Rowan and Luke Harper are rumoured to be undergoing a gimmick change and are expected to return as a tag team once more. And, with the recent mystery surrounding The Fashion Police, it makes sense to have the two teams square off at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017.
With how over Tyler Breeze and Fandango are thanks to their skits, we think they'll take the win over the former Wyatt Family members.
Prediction: The Fashion Police win
#4 The Usos vs Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin (Tag team match for the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship)
Chad Gable received an unexpected surprise on this past episode of Smackdown Live when he was introduced to his new tag team partner - the returning Shelton Benjamin. And, we think it's the perfect time to push the duo into the title scene at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017 since The New Day vs The Usos feud has run its course.
Jimmy and Jey should come out with the belts on this occasion, prolonging both the feud as well as their title reign.
Prediction: The Usos retain
#5 Natalya vs Charlotte (Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship)
While I do think Natalya and Charlotte deserve a Hell in a Cell match at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017 on behalf of the Women's Division, I don't think they'll get the main event like Charlotte and Sasha Banks did at last year's event.
Charlotte deserves the title shot as arguably the best wrestler in the Smackdown Live women's division and she should pick up the victory here. This could be followed by Carmella cashing in to become the new champion.
Prediction: Charlotte wins to become the new Smackdown Live Women's Champion; Carmella cashes in on Charlotte to become the new champion after the match
#6 Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler (Singles match)
With Bobby Roode looking like a babyface upon his Smackdown Live debut, he should be in a program with a heel and that heel could very well be the returning Dolph Ziggler.
A solid match between The Glorious One and The Showoff at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017 will probably end in a victory for Roode which he can use as a platform for a strong run on the main roster.
Prediction: Bobby Roode wins
#7 AJ Styles vs Baron Corbin (Hell in a Cell match for the WWE United States Championship)
Going by this past episode of Smackdown Live, it looks like Baron Corbin will be given a shot at the WWE United States Championship. And, that match should happen inside Hell in a Cell.
As one of three Cell matches on the night, this could be the best of the lot. Corbin has a thing to prove to WWE creative but he mostly walks away falling short of taking the belt off The Phenomenal One.
Prediction: AJ Styles retains
#8 Jinder Mahal vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship)
And, onto the main event of the evening: the WWE Championship match between Shinsuke Nakamura and Jinder Mahal. Is it time for the reign of The Modern Day Maharaja to end? Well, we certainly think so.
It's time the WWE Championship goes around the waist of The King of Strong Style and he needs to win it at WWE Hell in a Cell 2017. Give him the belt and slide Jinder down the card already.
Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Jinder Mahal to win the WWE Championship
