Hell in a Cell 2018 Predictions

---

#8 SD Tag Team Titles: New Day vs Rusev Day (Kickoff Show)

Rusev Day won a tournament to become #1 Contenders for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. They have undergone a Cinderella story that they want to end with a SmackDown Tag Team Title victory over the New Day.

However, the New Day have only just won the tag team championships and will probably have a pretty long title reign. The New Day vs the Bar has already been announced for the WWE Super Showdown as well.

It is likely that Rusev Day will break up soon with one of the 2 superstars turning heel. Therefore, New Day will probably take advantage of some miscommunication between Rusev Day and get the win.

Final Prediction: The New Day retain their titles.

#7 Raw Tag Team Titles: Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler vs the Shield

This will probably be the best Raw Tag Team Title match of the year.

Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose of the Shield attacked Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre on Raw to get themselves a Raw Tag Team Title match.

While WWE probably wants to have The Shield have all the titles on Monday Night Raw, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre have only just won the Raw Tag Team titles and it makes more sense for them to cheaply retain their titles.

This match has the potential to steal the show but unfortunately for the Shield, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre will retain their titles.

Final Prediction: Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre retain their titles.

#6 Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella vs The Miz & Maryse

Brie Bella and Maryse have both become a part of the Daniel Bryan vs Miz rivalry. As a result of this, Brie Bella & Daniel Bryan will team up against the Miz & Maryse at Hell in a Cell.

While this might not be as good as a Daniel Bryan vs Miz singles match, this is a smart way to continue the Daniel Bryan vs Miz rivalry without burning through another singles match.

While it is possible that the Miz & Maryse get the win, it is more likely that Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella get the win to allow Daniel Bryan to tie things up with the Miz. However, Brie Bella will probably submit Maryse to get the victory.

Final Prediction: Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella defeat the It Couple.

#5 Hell in a Cell Match: Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton

Jeff Hardy has been involved in a rivalry with Randy Orton since Randy Orton attacked him (after Jeff Hardy lost the US Title to Shinsuke Nakamura) at Extreme Rules.

Randy Orton has gotten extremely vicious and aggressive since Extreme Rules and has done everything possible to eradicate Jeff Hardy.

Jeff Hardy will have the chance to get the ultimate retribution at Hell in a Cell. While it is possible that Jeff Hardy will get the feel-good victory, it is more likely that Jeff Hardy misses a Swanton Bomb off of the top of the cell to allow Randy Orton to capitalize and gain the victory.

Final Prediction: Randy Orton defeats Jeff Hardy.

#4 SD Women's Title: Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch has been attempting to wrestle the SmackDown Women's Title from Charlotte Flair's arm since SummerSlam. She attacked Charlotte after she won the SmackDown Women's Title from Carmella at SummerSlam.

These two have been involved in this excellent rivalry and many people believe that it has the potential to be the match of the night. This match must continue this rivalry so that Becky Lynch can eventually win the SmackDown Women's Title from Charlotte Flair at Evolution.

Therefore, it is likely that Becky Lynch will get the win via count-out or disqualification and will continue to brawl with Charlotte Flair after the match.

Prediction: Becky Lynch defeats Charlotte Flair via count-out (but Charlotte Flair keeps the SmackDown Women's Title).

#3 Raw Women's Title: Ronda Rousey vs Alexa Bliss

Ronda Rousey defeated Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam. Alexa Bliss will invoke her rematch clause at Hell in a Cell.

She has targeted the ribs of Ronda Rousey over the last few weeks to find a weakness for their match. However, she will probably not be able to win the Raw Women's Title back.

Ronda Rousey's reign as champion has only just begun and WWE probably wants her to walk into Evolution as Raw Women's Champion.

Final Prediction: Ronda Rousey retains her title.

#2 WWE Title: AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe took things too far when taunting the family of AJ Styles at SummerSlam. As a result, AJ Styles got himself disqualified during their last match. These two will have a rematch at Hell in a Cell.

This rivalry has been extremely personal and will be continued at Hell in a Cell. While AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe has been announced for the Super Showdown (leading to some speculation that Samoa Joe will get the win), AJ Styles will probably retain his championship before he moves on to a feud with the Miz.

Final Prediction: AJ Styles retains his title.

#1 Hell in a Cell Universal Title Match: Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman will cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase this Sunday at Hell in a Cell. These two were involved in a brutal rivalry last year.

Both superstars also have allies so it's probably best that this is a Hell in a Cell match so that it can stay one-on-one. Mick Foley will be the special guest referee so it is possible that he might throw in the towel for Roman Reigns after he sees all that Braun has done to him (so Roman doesn't end up like him).

However, Roman Reigns only just won the Universal Title and will probably have a lengthy reign so he will retain.

Final Prediction: Roman Reigns defeats Braun Strowman
