Fantasy Booking: How Triple H Would Book Hell In A Cell 2018

With Hell in a Cell about to hit our television screens this Sunday, WWE has attempted to excite the crowd through some compelling narrative.

However, many feuds have lost their intrigue, with Monday Night Raw continuing to produce predictable television with an abundant concentration on Roman Reigns' push.

Superstars like Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Bobby Lashley, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, and Andrade 'Cien' Almas are not even booked for the show, and that only justifies the current state of WWE.

Most of these superstars have worked successfully under Triple H's radar and were ascended on a pedestal in NXT where they became unstoppable.

Since the Cerebral Assassin focuses more on the plot than on pushing an agenda, his creative intervention could have certainly brought more intensity and intrigue to this event.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep into our imaginary yet hopeful wrestling world and predict how Triple H would book Hell in a Cell 2018.

#1 The Revival (C) Vs. SAnitY for the SmackDown Live Tag-Team Championships

This would have been a classic

Judging by how teams like SAnitY, the Revival, and A.O.P have been booked on the main roster only shows how careless the creative team have been in their attempt to bring some compelling story into the frame.

The Revival have been booked poorly since they stepped foot on the main roster, and have never achieved anything substantial, as of now.

However, this might have changed under Triple H's wing who certainly is a big admirer of tag-team wrestling. Pushing the Revival to SmackDown would have brought more opportunities for the talented duo, and assist the management in booking more fast-paced matches.

SAnitY Vs. The Revival would have been an absolute classic at Hell in a Cell. Considering that the Revival are already champions of the blue brand, and are met with an unstoppable force in SAnitY, things would have literally shifted for SmackDown Live.

Not only this match would have been a treat to the eyes, but would have provided more television time to factions that genuinely deserve the spotlight.

How Triple H would have booked - SAnitY wins the SmackDown Live Tag-Team Championships and vows to take over the blue brand

#2 The Authors of Pain (C) Vs. Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman for the Raw Tag-Team Championships

Talk about a tag-team match

In case you didn't know, Triple H is one of the biggest admirers of Bray Wyatt and his demented dark personality. It's a damn shame that WWE never ascended him to the top to reach his full potential with the company.

However, this could have been an interesting match-up for both the teams. Authors of Pain need to be taken seriously and bring more legitimacy as a dominant tag-team.

Judging by how DIY ended up in NXT, a similar narrative could have been portrayed here with Bray Wyatt taking control over the Monster Among Men and coercing his soul into submission.

Since the Eater of Worlds was responsible in bringing Braun Strowman to the main roster, WWE could have followed a similar path and tell a more intriguing story.

With both superstars teaming up to form an unstoppable alliance, the company would have serious contenders to replace an already established faction in Authors of Pain.

Both the superstars could have carried the belt till WrestleMania 35 where WWE could have booked an ultimate dream match between the two, and finally catapult Braun Strowman as a force to reckon with.

How Triple H would have booked - Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman win the Raw Tag-Team Championships before facing each other at WrestleMania 35.

#3 Drew McIntyre (C) Vs. Bobby Roode Vs. Bobby Lashley Vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship

He is the man today

There's no denying that whatever transpires with Drew Mcintyre's career in 2018, he's set for big things in the company for a long, long time.

The management sees a superstar in him, and that is what Triple H would have definitely tapped into in order to make the Intercontinental Championship more prominent.

While Seth Rollins did a commendable job to steal the spotlight every single week, the Architect deserves a more compelling main-event feud at this moment.

The idea of making this a Fatal 4-way would necessarily bring more superstars to the frame and provide drama to the match itself.

Since Bobby Roode and Bobby Lashley have been lost in the shuffle under Vince McMahon, a more ideal way would have been to turn Roode heel.

Both the superstars can carry each other in a tremendous feud and would assist Mcintyre in pushing towards a new opponent. This match could have literally blown the roof of the place, and solidified the Scottish Sensation as a force to reckon with.

How Triple H would have booked - Drew Mcintyre pins Bobby Lashley to retain the belt. Bobby Roode attacks Lashley post-match and turns heel

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura (C) Vs. Aleister Black in the United States Open Challenge for the United States Championship

This could be a match for the ages

It's a damn shame that WWE have no clue on what they're doing with Shinsuke Nakamura as the United States Champion. The King of Strong Style is not scheduled to defend his championship at an event of this stature.

Considering how horrible he has been booked, the Game could have taken the benefit of the opportunity, and announce a United States Championship Open Challenge at Hell in a Cell.

Since Open Challenges invoke some anticipation among the fans, this opportunity could be taken to introduce new superstars on the main roster from NXT.

Something of this magnitude could have been done with Aleister Black who is ready to make a name for himself on the main roster, despite being injured.

Both these superstars carry offensive maneuvers in their arsenal and could have delivered a match for the ages to the audience in attendance. The Game would have definitely brought Nakamura's offensive striking ability to the mix, and would have made this match even more compelling with the interaction of both characters.

This could have been a fantastic outing and would have provided Aleister Black with a sensational debut match on the main roster.

How Triple H would have booked - Shinsuke Nakamura retains the U.S. Championship in a classic as Aleister Black debuts on the main roster.

#5 Asuka (C) Vs. Ember Moon in a Hell in a Cell match for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship

Talk about elevating women's wrestling

If there's a superstar that could have taken the women's division on the main roster by storm, it's Asuka. The Empress of Tomorrow was a force to reckon with under Triple H's wing and was perhaps the most successful NXT Champion of all time.

WWE's booking for their female competitors is becoming quite predictable and has garnered no significant interest from the crowd, especially on Monday Night Raw.

Since Becky Lynch's underdog journey to the top of the blue brand could be sensational, the Game might be waiting to push the envelope with her for a WrestleMania showdown with Asuka and Charlotte.

Winning the Royal Rumble 2019 would have provided Becky Lynch with the momentum she deserves and could have gone on to challenge Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Considering that Ember Moon is literally being wasted on Raw, bringing her to SmackDown would have been more influential in improving the craft of female's wrestling, and bring more attention to the Championship being defended.

Since Asuka is the most dangerous female competitor, the Game would have continued her terrific run, and bring more challengers and surprises to make the Women's Division even more relevant.

How Triple H would have booked - Asuka retains in a gruesome encounter but is surrounded by SAnitY after which Nikki Cross debuts and attacks her

#6 Ronda Rousey (C) Vs. Bayley Vs. Sasha Banks for the Raw Women's Championship

Do we need a main event for Evolution?

Probably the most interesting encounter of the evening could be booked in a triple-threat match for the Raw Women's Championship.

Since the Cerebral Assassin always designs his narrative keeping in mind the future, these three superstars could go to war at the event to decide who gets the upper hand.

With Sasha Banks and Bayley almost neglected for two years, this feud could provide WWE with an opportunity to book WWE's Four Horse Women Vs. MMA's Four Horse Women in a gigantic money-making clash at WWE Evolution.

The event deserves a headliner of this stature, and since the Rowdy One is an unstoppable force on Monday Night Raw, turning heel and joining forces with Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir.

Women's division needs to be taken seriously, and with the creative team lacking in producing compelling stories, the Game could bring some game-changing alterations in the product.

The match will not only thoroughly entertain the audience but also provide them with a glimpse of what awaits them at WWE's All Women PPV, Evolution.

A feud of such epic proportions must get personal in order to invoke maximum interest from the casual audience, and with the Rowdy One hell-bent on destroying her opponents, the conclusion wouldn't really bother her.

How Triple H would have booked - Ronda Rousey attempts to legitimately break Bayley's arm as she introduces MMA Four Horse Women to the world

#7 Seth Rollins Vs. Dean Ambrose in a Hell in a Cell Match

This bout deserves a Hell in a Cell match

If you're delighted with how WWE creative team have booked Dean Ambrose since his return to Monday Night Raw, then you're surely manipulating yourself.

The Lunatic Fringe's return gave Raw a breath of fresh air, and an opportunity of such proportion should have not gone in vain. WWE had the ball in their court to turn Ambrose heel and make him the biggest heel in the business.

If the Game would have been booking the show, then these two superstars would have torn each other apart before settling their score inside Hell in a Cell.

Both the superstars share a tremendous history and could carry a personal feud, with the Lunatic Fringe hell-bent on ending Seth Rollins' career for good.

The Architect is currently the biggest babyface on the entire roster, and the Game could have settled their differences inside a barbaric Hell in a Cell, with Ambrose getting an upper hand through his psychotic antics.

How Triple H would have booked - Dean Ambrose takes the Architect to hell and defeats him

#8 A.J. Styles Vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas Vs. Jeff Hardy Vs. Randy Orton to decide the No 1 Contender for the WWE Championship

Matches that steal the show

The WWE Championship deserves to be recognized and promoted as the most coveted prize in sports entertainment history but unfortunately, the company has not done anything to make it prominent.

Since A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe can lock horns at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, a bout of this magnitude could bring legitimate attention to the biggest championship in WWE.

Four superstars going head-to-head with an attempt to get a massive opportunity to face the WWE Champion. With the Destroyer roaming with the WWE Championship around his waist, these four competitors can steal the entire show.

Giving a classic to the audience and keeping them on the edge of their seats could assist the company in pushing the boundaries and bringing more viewership to the product.

With the Phenomenal One working as a strong babyface, letting Randy Orton steal the pin would make for some compelling television on the blue brand.

How Triple H would have booked- Randy Orton pins Jeff Hardy to become the No 1 Contender for the WWE Championship

#9 Samoa Joe (C) Vs. Daniel Bryan in a No Disqualification Match for the WWE Championship

A match that can main-event any arena

Samoa Joe's ascension to the top of the WWE has been extremely insane yet underwhelming, at the same time. The Destroyer has been pretty incredible as a vicious heel on the blue brand but is yet to win a major title on the show.

Considering that the Game would instantly position him as the WWE Champion on SmackDown Live, an underdog in Daniel Bryan could take WWE by storm with this feud.

Both the superstars have wrestled each other in various independent circuits and could carry a compelling feud with some personal involvement between the two.

Since WWE should postpone Daniel Bryan Vs. the Miz for WrestleMania, this could be an outstanding opportunity for the A-Lister to return and cost the Beard, his shot at the biggest prize.

Even after delivering an exceptional performance, Daniel Bryan still falls short to the Destroyer's wrath, and a post-match attack by the Miz could be phenomenal to ignite more heat in this feud.

How Triple H would have booked - Samoa Joe retains the WWE Championship. The Miz appears post-match and beats down Daniel Bryan

#10 Roman Reigns (C) Vs. 'The Demon King' Finn Balor in a Hell in a Cell match for the Universal Championship

There's a reason why this should headline

Triple H's admiration for delivering extremely innovative bouts could coerce the creative team to book a stellar showdown between two of WWE's most agile competitors.

Vince McMahon's decision of letting Brock Lesnar retain the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34 was a huge mistake and diminished Roman Reigns' entire credibility.

Since the Game would have successfully booked the Big Dog to win the Universal title at WrestleMania, he could have faced a tough challenger in Finn Balor.

With the First-Ever Universal Champion getting an opportunity for the title he never lost on an edition of Raw, the company could have booked a fantastic feud between the two, with a significant match at Hell in a Cell.

Considering that the match will be decided inside Hell in a Cell, this could give Triple H a legitimate opportunity by pushing Kevin Owens to the main event and steal the show.

Tapping into Kevin Owens' exit from the company, Triple H could have made the Prizefighter a star by making him the next Paul Heyman Guy.

This bout could be sensational, and would also provide Kevin Owens an opportunity to attack the company's golden boy in Roman Reigns to make a gigantic statement.
