WWE Hell in a Cell 2020 is set to take off this Sunday at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. With three Hell in a Cell matches on the card, the event will likely be a gamechanger during the current pandemic that has kept die-hard fans out of the arenas for too long.
The WWE Universal Championship, WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship, and WWE Championship will be up for grabs in singles matches inside the steel cell. This will likely ensure that only the toughest Superstars will emerge as champions of the company at the end of the day.
The final episode of SmackDown before Hell in a Cell also saw The Miz win his case against Otis after he bribed the judge JBL with a briefcase full of money. Now, Otis will have to defend his Money in the Bank briefcase against The A-Lister at the show.
Away from the title matches, we will also witness Jeff Hardy and Elias compete against each other to gain the upper hand in their renewed rivalry.
In this article, we will look at five last-minute predictions for this year’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
#5 WWE Hell in a Cell 2020: Jeff Hardy vs. Elias
Back in May, Elias was part of the WWE Intercontinental Championship tournament and had cleared the first round after defeating King Corbin. However, Elias suffered a setback as he was the victim of a car incident that took him out of action for several months.
Elias recently returned after injury and was drafted to WWE RAW along with Jeff Hardy. While we don’t know who was behind the car that knocked down Elias, The Drifter believes that Hardy was behind wheel.
Elias attacked Hardy during his match against Seth Rollins and AJ Styles on RAW a couple of weeks ago, and Hardy repaid the favour by bombing Elias’ concert on the show last week.
At Hell in a Cell, the two men will face off in a singles match to take their rivalry to another level. Hardy has recently come out of the Intercontinental Championship picture, while Elias will be looking to climb the ladder by picking up a victory over the former WWE Champion.
WWE is likely to put their weight behind The Drifter, who is hot on the music scene with the anticipated debut of his new album “Universal Truth”.
At Hell in a Cell, we will likely see Elias pick up the victory over The Charismatic Enigma, who won’t lose much value by taking a loss and could end up helping give Elias a boost on Monday Nights.
Prediction: Elias will defeat Jeff Hardy at WWE Hell in a Cell
#4 WWE Hell in a Cell 2020: Otis vs. The Miz (Money in the Bank briefcase match)
At Money in the Bank 2020, Otis defeated AJ Styles, Aleister Black, Daniel Bryan, King Corbin, and Rey Mysterio by climbing up the ladder and pulling down the Money in the Bank briefcase. His briefcase is now under threat at Hell in a Cell.
During his initial days as Mr. Money in the Bank, Otis teased cashing in his briefcase against the WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman a couple of times. Since then, he has mostly used it as a prop in his rivalry against The Miz and John Morrison, which has now been going on for some time.
The Miz finally got himself a chance to challenge Otis for the Money in the Bank briefcase at Hell in a Cell. This match will likely be very interesting and filled with a few distractions from John Morrison and Tucker.
While Otis seemed like a good candidate to carry the MITB briefcase at first, it feels like he won’t be able to cash it in successfully, especially with Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion.
Keeping that in mind, WWE could book Otis to lose the match thanks to some distractions or a betrayal by Tucker and award the briefcase to The Miz, who can do much more with it in the current situation.
At Hell in a Cell, we will most probably watch the MITB briefcase change hands so that The Miz can cash it in at some point before the next MITB event.
Prediction: The Miz will win the Money in the Bank briefcase from Otis at Hell in a Cell
#3 WWE Hell in a Cell 2020: Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton (Hell in a Cell Match for the WWE Championship)
Ahead of Hell in a Cell, Randy Orton has already had a few chances at the WWE Championship. At SummerSlam, Randy Orton tried to take down Drew McIntyre to become the WWE Champion once again. However, he was unable to defeat McIntyre at the show and earned himself a rematch at Clash of Champions.
The two men competed in an Ambulance match, but Orton was attacked by several legends who he’d beaten down in previous weeks, which led to his loss. Orton will now challenge The Scottish Psychopath once again in a Hell in a Cell match at the namesake pay-per-view.
Orton has already taken a few losses against McIntyre, who is slowly becoming one of the best WWE Champions in recent years. However, WWE might be looking to mix things up following the WWE Draft.
At Hell in a Cell, we will likely see these two men compete in a long match where they will keep trading the advantage. However, it looks like The Viper is ready to win the title once again as WWE has decided to give him another shot.
McIntyre has had a good run with the WWE Championship. However, with new challengers emerging on RAW thanks to the WWE Draft, a heel holding the title could provide the company with a chance to book some new rivalries.
Keeping that in mind, we could end up seeing The Viper win another World Championship at a major event, ending McIntyre’s first-ever WWE Championship run.
Prediction: Randy Orton will become the WWE Champion inside Hell in a Cell
#2 WWE Hell in a Cell 2020: Bayley vs. Sasha Banks (Hell in a Cell Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship)
This could be the match of the night at Hell in a Cell. Bayley and Sasha Banks were once the best of friends and the biggest heels in WWE. However, the two lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at Payback.
The following episode of SmackDown saw them make an unsuccessful attempt at regaining the titles, after which Bayley turned on Sasha Banks. That has led up to this match at Hell in a Cell.
The two Superstars will be locked inside Hell in a Cell with the SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line. Bayley has been holding the title for over a year now. She last lost it at this very pay-per-view, when she competed against Charlotte Flair.
While The Role Model is having a red-hot run with the title, it could come to an end at Hell in a Cell. Banks has helped her retain the title for months, and she will be the perfect candidate to end her reign.
WWE could make this rivalry very interesting by handing Banks the title, as this would make Bayley more bitter and extend their storyline.
This could end up being the best and most emotional match of the night, with two great Superstars involved. At Hell in a Cell, we predict that The Boss will become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion by defeating The Role Model.
Prediction: Sasha Banks will become the new SmackDown Champion inside Hell in a Cell
#1 WWE Hell in a Cell 2020: Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso (Hell in a Cell "I Quit" Match for the Universal Championship)
Roman Reigns’ return to WWE was a surprising one as he took out Braun Strowman and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt following their Universal Championship match at WWE SummerSlam. Since then, he’s been playing a refreshing heel character on SmackDown and is now the Universal Champion. He will take on his cousin Jey Uso at WWE Hell in a Cell in an "I Quit" Match.
While many did not believe that this rivalry would get far when it started, the creatives have managed to make it one of the most interesting storylines on television. At Clash of Champions, Jimmy Uso had to throw in the towel for his brother, as Jey refused to give up and acknowledge Reigns as The Tribal Chief.
However, the stipulation of the match has made things extremely interesting. One man will have to utter the words “I Quit” to walk out of the steel structure alive.
While Jey has had an incredible rivalry with his cousin and seems to be doing great as a singles wrestler, Reigns won’t be giving up his title this early.
On Sunday, we will likely see Reigns beat Jey within an inch of his life before he forces his cousin to quit the match and acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief.
Prediction: Roman Reigns will defeat Jey Uso to retain his Universal Championship inside Hell in a Cell
