The 12th annual WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view is set to take place this weekend, live in the ThunderDome. This show is always highly-anticipated by WWE fans, and some iconic matches have taken place at the event over the years.
There are five matches set to take place this weekend, with three titles and the Money in the Bank briefcase on the line. WWE announced some of these matches weeks while some have only been revealed recently.
Compared to last month's event, Clash of Champions, Hell in a Cell has a relatively small card with only five matches so far. There is a possibility that WWE could add some last-minute matches, but here's the build-up to each match that have been announced for Hell in a Cell 2020 ranked.
#5 Jeff Hardy vs Elias
Jeff Hardy has recently moved to RAW and reunited with Elias, who was once part of the Hardy and Sheamus storyline on SmackDown over the summer. After the police found him dazed, Hardy became the prime suspect in the mystery of "Who ran over Elias?" Later, The Charismatic Enigma proved his innocence as Sheamus was the culprit.
During Elias' surprise return a few weeks ago on RAW, he hit Jeff Hardy with a guitar. Hardy then returned the favor a week later when he crashed Elias' concert in the disguise as a guitarist.
This led to the upcoming match set for Hell in a Cell. The rivalry between the two has been a great way to develop Elias in his new role on a new brand. It has also been a fantastic call back to Hardy and Sheamus' recent program that many fans enjoyed.
Although the match was only announced earlier in the week, the short but dramatic history between the two has proven beneficial to the build of the match.
#4 Otis vs. The Miz - WWE Money in the Bank Contract Match
Mr. Money in the Bank, Otis, and The Miz have been rivals over the past few months in WWE. The Miz has done whatever it takes to get to Otis, including getting his beloved girlfriend, Mandy Rose, moved away from him to RAW.
Over the past few weeks, The Miz has been determined to get the WWE Money in the Bank contract away from Otis. He has even gone as far as serving him with a lawsuit. On this past week's RAW, Otis appeared in a mask as El Grand Gordo to confront his rival, and the lengthy storyline even ended up with a court segment on the go-home episode of SmackDown. In the segment, dubbed "Law & Otis", fans saw multiple WWE legends come together in a parody of the hit television show, "Law and Order".
The pair will now go head-to-head at Hell in a Cell, with the Money in the Bank contract on the line. Given what has gone down in the build-up towards this match, there will certainly be some shenanigans on both sides this weekend.
#3 Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton - WWE Championship
Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are about to go into their third clash over the WWE Championship. The pair have previously fought over the title at SummerSlam and Clash of Champions, where McIntyre came out on top each time.
A group of WWE legends, including Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair, have come to McIntyre's aid during the rivalry, helping him to retain at Clash of Champions. Afterward, Orton attacked the legends backstage on RAW and challenged The Scottish Psychopath to another championship match.
The pair have been clashing for a while now, but this time the tension between the pair seems bigger than ever. Over the past few days, Orton has garnered some attention on social media for sharing his Hell in a Cell playlist, which has sent a very clear message to McIntyre.
The feud between McIntyre and Orton has been ongoing for months and seems to be coming to a head this weekend at Hell in a Cell. This is a feud that has kept fans invested and engaged the entire time.
#2 Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso - WWE Universal Championship
Roman Reigns' surprise comeback at SummerSlam was one of the biggest moments of the year, and the Superstar has dominated SmackDown ever since with his new, villainous persona and his new status as a Paul Heyman guy.
This weekend is not the first time that Roman Reigns and his cousin Jey Uso have faced off in the ring. The pair also went head-to-head at Clash of Champions, where Jimmy Uso threw in the towel for Jey after he refused to acknowledge Reigns as the tribal chief of the Anoa'i family.
The pair have continued their rivalry since, and Reigns offered Jey Uso another shot at the WWE Universal Championship - albeit it very with high stakes. Uso quickly accepted the offer, but it later emerged that the match would be taking place in the cell, and would also be an "I quit" match, with Jey Uso, and his family being disowned by the tribe if he loses.
This is a storyline that has captured the attention of WWE fans and is some of the most interesting work so far in Roman Reigns' WWE career.
#1 Sasha Banks vs Bayley - SmackDown Women's Championship
Sasha Banks and Bayley going head-to-head for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship has been a long time coming. The former best friends will come to blows after they lost a rematch for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Bayley turned on Sasha, and their rivalry has just become more and more intense ever since.
Since Bayley attacked Sasha, the pair have been at one another throats, launching into physical and verbal attacks against one another weekly. Sasha Banks has been intent on their pair facing off in Hell in a Cell, and made it known that she has her eyes on the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
The buildup to this match has gotten even more interesting over the last two weeks. Bayley has been refusing to sign the contract for their Hell in a Cell match, and nearly got away with it. On the go-home edition of SmackDown, Sasha Banks attacked Bayley and forced her to sign the contract, setting their match for this weekend.
The feud between Sasha Banks and Bayley could only just be beginning, but there is much to anticipate this weekend when the pair come to blows within the famous structure.
