This Sunday will be a big one for wrestling fans, as the much-awaited WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view hits the WWE Network. The company has worked hard to build some big rivalries for this year’s event, and we will likely get some memorable matches from the show.
There are only five matches on the main card for Hell in a Cell, but each match has a backstory that has stretched on for months. This means that none of the matches have been randomly thrown together. Each one has a proper storyline that will help make the matches more entertaining and emotional.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will defend his title against Randy Orton for the third time this year, while Sasha Banks will challenge Bayley for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Roman Reigns will defend his WWE Universal Championship against his cousin Jey Uso at the event. All three matches of the aforementioned bouts will take place inside Hell in a Cell.
Apart from that, Otis will defend his Money in the Bank briefcase against The Miz, while Elias will take on Jeff Hardy in a singles match.
In this article, take a look at the three things that should happen during this year’s Hell in a Cell and two things that should not go down.
#5 Tucker SHOULD betray Otis at WWE Hell in a Cell
On the final episode of WWE SmackDown before Hell in a Cell, The Miz took Otis to WWE court where he demanded a match against Mr. Money in the Bank for the briefcase. While judge JBL was going to rule in Otis’ favour, The Miz bribed him to change his decision.
At Hell in a Cell, we will watch both men compete with the Money in the Bank briefcase on the line. We will likely watch John Morrison in The Miz’s corner during the night, while RAW Superstar and Otis’ best friend Tucker will be by the babyface’s side.
While Otis will have the upper hand in the match as he has the size, strength, and momentum behind him, WWE should allow Tucker to betray his friend and cost him his Money in the Bank briefcase.
Tucker had played second fiddle to Otis in Heavy Machinery and has now been separated from him, thanks to the WWE Draft. With Otis’ girlfriend Mandy Rose on RAW, we could watch Tucker turn heel and attack his friend to award the MITB briefcase to The Miz.
Tucker could then go on a heel run on RAW and also try to win Otis’ girlfriend over in the process. The big man could play a good heel and get a push in the process, which could lead to a match between Otis and Tucker at WWE Survivor Series.
#4 Matches SHOULD NOT end in a DQ/no-contest at WWE Hell in a Cell
Last year, WWE Hell in a Cell hosted eight matches on the main show and one on the pre-show. Out of those nine matches, one ended with a disqualification victory for The Viking Raiders and Braun Strowman.
The WWE Universal Championship Hell in a Cell match between Seth Rollins and "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt ended due to a referee stoppage, which was met by a very negative response from the WWE Universe.
Matches with a special stipulation, like the one between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, could come to an end due to referee stoppage. However, that could lead to some negative comments from the WWE Universe.
With just five matches announced for this year’s show, WWE should ensure that each match has a logical conclusion and does not end due to a disqualification, referee stoppage, or no contest.
Three of the five matches are for world titles, while one is for the Money in the Bank briefcase. WWE should not allow any of the matches to end without a proper result so fans can avoid disappointment.
#3 Elias SHOULD pick up a victory over Jeff Hardy at WWE Hell in a Cell
Elias has lost more matches than he has won in WWE. His pay-per-view record isn’t too good either and needs some improvement. The Drifter returned to WWE a couple of weeks ago and he has already gotten himself a big match against Jeff Hardy for this Sunday’s WWE Hell in a Cell event.
Elias’ new album “Universal Truth” is ready to cook up a storm on the Billboard, and the Drifter could also make the headlines on his return to a WWE ring.
Hardy has had a good run since his own return earlier this year and has already won the WWE Intercontinental Championship once. While the veteran still has a lot to achieve in his WWE career, he could end up giving Elias a much-needed boost.
Elias is a much better wrestler than his records suggest, and WWE should give him the chance to win a big match against a former WWE Champion at Hell in a Cell.
This will not affect The Charismatic Enigma’s value too much and should give The Drifter some bragging rights that he can use to build his reputation on RAW.
#2 Bayley SHOULD NOT retain her SmackDown Women’s Championship at WWE Hell in a Cell
Bayley and Sasha Banks had the most envious friendship that saw both Superstars win a few championships over the past several months. However, Bayley turning on The Boss has changed things completely. They will write the first chapter of their reignited rivalry at WWE Hell in a Cell this week.
The Role Model has been holding the SmackDown Women’s Championship for over a year now. However, many of her successful defences have been thanks to The Boss. The two women will compete inside Hell in a Cell, and fans have a lot of expectations of both women.
At the moment, WWE should not allow Bayley to retain the title under any circumstances, as it will cause Banks to face a major setback. Banks needs to win the match as she is looking to teach her former friend a lesson, while beginning her own reign as the champion.
The Boss has already had many short title reigns in WWE, and a loss at Hell in a Cell could affect her standing in this rivalry. Bayley has a bulletproof reputation at the moment, and losing the title to Banks would be perfect for their rivalry. The rivalry itself would be able to stretch on for longer with the change of title.
#1 Jey Uso SHOULD acknowledge Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief at WWE Hell in a Cell
The rivalry between Jey Uso and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns just keeps getting better and better with each passing week. However, it might come to a bitter end this Sunday at WWE Hell in a Cell.
Reigns has been looking to force Jey to acknowledge him as the head of the table and call him his Tribal Chief. However, Jey does not believe that Reigns deserves that title, and he has been battling his cousin to show him that he has changed.
This Sunday, the two men will compete inside Hell in a Cell in an “I Quit” match. While the match will likely be very brutal, we could end up seeing some members of the Anoa’i Family come out to request Reigns to stop beating up his cousin.
However, WWE should let Reigns beat Jey up within an inch of his life, making him label Reigns as his Tribal Chief. This will allow WWE to take this storyline to another level. It could give them a chance to possibly make The Usos join The Big Dog in creating a faction with Paul Heyman as their advocate.
