WWE Hell in a Cell 2020: 5 matches that could be added to the PPV

Hell in a Cell could be a pretty solid show.
Hell in a Cell could be a pretty solid show.

Following the 2020 WWE Draft, RAW and SmackDown look pretty different. There were a lot of Superstars who moved brands, creating some very intriguing scenarios and unique matches. The rosters will take shape over the next week, which also happens to feature WWE's next pay-per-view, Hell in a Cell.

So far, three matches have been announced for the pay-per-view, with all of them happening inside Hell in a Cell. And unlike most such occasions in the history of this event, all three Cell matches are justified. Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton will have their third, and possibly final, WWE Championship match after the issue went out of hand between the two Superstars.

Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against his cousin, Jey Uso, in an 'I Quit' match taking place inside the satanic structure. Meanwhile, SmackDown's other top title will be contested for inside the Cell as Sasha Banks and Bayley are set to finally clash for the SmackDown Women's Championship, following months of supreme storytelling.

WWE will need to support these three main event-level contests with a decent undercard. That looks to be the case, based on storyline developments before and after the WWE Draft. There are some great matches that may make Hell in a Cell another solid event inside the WWE ThunderDome.

Here are five matches that could be added to WWE Hell in a Cell 2020.


#5 The Street Profits vs. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler could be added to Hell in a Cell (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)

The RAW and SmackDown tag team divisions remain pretty lifeless following the WWE Draft, but both sets of Championships must be defended. The Street Profits swapped their RAW tag team titles for The New Day's SmackDown belts, as the two babyface teams switched shows this past week. They could defend their newly won titles at Hell in a Cell.

Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler did face Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston for the RAW Tag Team Championship, but their main issue has been with The Street Profits. After all, Roode and Ziggler did score a victory over them in six-man tag team action.

And after moving to SmackDown, they will undoubtedly go after Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins. The two teams could have a solid tag team match at Hell in a Cell, possibly on the Kickoff show. It isn't the most ideal treatment of the tag team titles, but WWE hasn't truly invested in them recently.

The Street Profits might want to redeem themselves, after their last pay-per-view match against Andrade and Angel Garza ended early due to an injury to Garza. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler are just the safe and dependable opponents that would ensure a decent contest.

#4 Alexa Bliss vs. Nikki Cross could be added to Hell in a Cell

Following their recent tag team break-up, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were both drafted to RAW. The former is now linked with 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt, with the two of them set to dominate the Monday night show. However, before the act can go much further, Bliss has some unfinished business to take care of. It could happen as soon as Hell in a Cell.

Cross had stated her intentions of helping Bliss and pulling her out of the hole, that is Bray Wyatt's entire world. But now that The Goddess and The Fiend are together, her former tag team partner could feel their collective wrath.

WWE could opt to tell a longer story with Bliss and Cross, but it is possible that the two will collide at Hell in a Cell. Asuka is not expected to defend her RAW Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell, with her match against Lana taking place on next week's episode of RAW.

As a result, WWE might add Alexa Bliss vs. Nikki Cross to the card as the second women's match, alongside Sasha Banks and Bayley's Hell in a Cell match. This match might even lead to a turn down the line, with Nikki Cross joining her former tag team partner alongside The Fiend.

#3 Seth Rollins vs. Murphy could be added to Hell in a Cell

The longest-running feud in WWE right now, the story between Seth Rollins, Murphy, and the Mysterio family has transferred over to SmackDown. It will likely go on for another month or so, presumably with one final match between Rollins and Rey Mysterio. Hell in a Cell will also likely feature some development in this issue.

The most recent additions to it have been Murphy and Aalyah Mysterio slowly being on the same page. The former Disciple of Rollins even attacked him last week, before the former Monday Night Messiah got the better of him.

This will likely lead to a slight detour for Hell in a Cell, in the form of a blowoff match between Rollins and Murphy. The two of them could have a fantastic match, similar to Murphy's matches against Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan when he was last a SmackDown Superstar.

He might not pick up the victory though, with Rollins' ultimate comeuppance likely to come slightly later at the hands of Rey and, possibly, Dominik Mysterio. Murphy could still stand out at Hell in a Cell, with a bright future ahead of him.

#2 Keith Lee vs. Braun Strowman could be added to Hell in a Cell (No Disqualification Match)

Following their pre-Draft 'exhibition match', Braun Strowman and Keith Lee are now on the same brand. They will face each other on the coming episode of RAW, but a clean finish is not expected. An angle between two of WWE's most prominent big men deserves a pay-per-view match, with Hell in a Cell the likely destination for this feud's natural conclusion.

Unless WWE plans on extending Lee and Strowman's feud, the two of them will probably go all out at Hell in a Cell. Their match might even happen under No Disqualification rules if things go south on RAW. Their last match did end with a big brawl, with Lee taking Strowman out, off the stage.

So far, the chaos created by them is not too dissimilar to the former Universal Champion's explosive feud with Bobby Lashley from mid-2019. Strowman tackled The Dominator through the RAW stage back then, with similar shenanigans between him and Lee likely to excite the fans.

A victory over Braun Strowman, at Hell in a Cell, would only boost Keith Lee's stock as a WWE Superstar. He is in a great position on RAW and could have further great matches against the likes of AJ Styles, Matt Riddle, and Sheamus.

#1 The Hurt Business vs. RETRIBUTION could be added to Hell in a Cell (Eight-man Tag Team Match)

The RETRIBUTION angle took a complete U-turn after Mustafa Ali was revealed to be the group's leader. This reveal was great, sparking a massive buzz among fans and a renewed sense of purpose for the former 205 Live star and the rest of RETRIBUTION. They could make their first pay-per-view appearance as a unit, at Hell in a Cell.

The Hurt Business has been at odds with RETRIBUTION recently, with them being the natural first pay-per-view opponents for the destructive faction. Bobby Lashley, MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin have never been more relevant in WWE, so this could be one of the biggest possible matches WWE could book for the Hell in a Cell undercard.

There may be bigger plans for RETRIBUTION on RAW following Hell in a Cell, which is why this feud may be wrapped up in the next couple of weeks. This could be the beginning of Ali's ascent to WWE glory, with T-BAR, Mace, and Slapjack providing the perfect support for him.

Mia Yim, as Reckoning, is also part of RETRIBUTION, so this could lead to MVP enlisting some female support for The Hurt Business. Naomi would be perfect in that role, even if her involvement is only a one-off. The feud between the two dominant groups has been pretty intriguing, to say the least.

A chaotic, violent, and all-action multi-person tag team match between RETRIBUTION and The Hurt Business would make Hell in a Cell even more memorable than it already might be. Hopefully, WWE tells a logical story with Mustafa Ali and RETRIBUTION going forward.
