We are just a few days away from WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 which is set to take place on June 20, 2021. This pay-per-view usually takes place in the latter half of the year, but the show has been shifted up.

Hell in a Cell is one of the most interesting gimmick matches in WWE history. A couple of great matches have already been announced to take place this weekend inside the deadly structure.

WWE Hell in a Cell will be the last pay-per-view in the WWE ThunderDome. The promotion is set to return to touring next month and Money in the Bank is announced to take place in front of a live crowd. With that in mind, WWE probably wants to shake things up to freshen up the product.

One of the ways they could do this is to bring back an absent Superstar or two, so let's take a look at five WWE Superstars who could return this Sunday at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021.


#5 Sasha Banks could return at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021

Former SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks has been away from WWE TV for quite some time now. Banks main-evented Night One of WrestleMania 37 earlier this year where she lost her title to the 2021 women's Royal Rumble match winner Bianca Belair.

At WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 this Sunday, Bianca Belair is scheduled to defend her SmackDown Women's Championship against Bayley in a singles match. Coincidentally, it was at the very same pay-per-view last year when Sasha Banks defeated Bayley inside Hell in a Cell to win the SmackDown Women's title.

We might see the match between Bianca Belair and Bayley this Sunday end in a DQ with Sasha Banks returning and laying out both of them. This could lead to a triple-threat match for the title between them at WWE Money in the Bank 2021.

#4 Mia Yim could return at WWE Hell in a Cell to make a major announcement

WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 could finally see the return of Mia Yim. The former NXT Superstar moved up to the main roster last year. She was part of Monday Night RAW's faction RETRIBUTION with a new ring name Reckoning.

With the faction done and dusted, she has since been off TV. However, there have been multiple rumors about Mia Yim being moved to Friday Night SmackDown but she hasn't appeared on the blue brand yet.

At WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 this Sunday, she could finally make her return to WWE TV. Moreover, she could get rid of the Reckoning gimmick and appear as Mia Yim. Yim could then go on to reveal herself to be the first entry into the 2021 women's Money in the Bank ladder match.

WWE Money in the Bank 2021 will be the next pay-per-view after Hell in a Cell. This will be WWE's first pay-per-view on their 25-city tour and the promotion would like to hype it up in every way possible.

#3 Keith Lee could return at WWE Hell in a Cell

Alongside Mia Yim, WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 could also witness the return of her fiance and WWE Superstar Keith Lee. The former NXT Champion has surprisingly been missing from WWE TV for several months now without any proper explanation.

Keith Lee was reportedly set to win the United States Championship at WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 earlier this year. However, he had to be pulled off the show due to an injury. After being away for nearly four months, The Limitless One could finally make his awaited return at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021.

WWE generally keeps real-life couples on the same brands, especially now with their return to tours starting soon. Add in the rumors that Mia Yim has been drafted to the blue brand and Keith Lee might also be moved there too.

We might see Keith Lee appear at Hell in a Cell and have a showdown against Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief will be defending his title inside Hell in a Cell against Rey Mysterio. Alternatively, just like Mia Yim, Keith Lee could also announce his entry into this year's Men's Money in the Bank match.

#2 The Fiend could return for revenge at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021

Another major star who could return at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 this Sunday is The Fiend Bray Wyatt. The demonic alter ego of Bray Wyatt was last seen at WrestleMania 37 earlier this year. At the pay-per-view, Alexa Bliss betrayed him and cost him his match against Randy Orton.

WWE Universe was expecting a proper feud between The Fiend and Alexa Bliss after what happened at WrestleMania. However, we never got to see that and Bray Wyatt has since been missing from WWE TV. Alexa Bliss, on the other hand, has taken her dark character to a whole new level. We've seen the introduction of her scary-looking doll Lilly which has led to speculations that she could be Alexa's alter ego.

At WWE Hell in a Cell 2021, Alexa Bliss is set to take on former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler in a singles match. We might see The Fiend return and cost Alexa Bliss her match, taking revenge for his WrestleMania 37 loss. This could then kickstart a proper feud between the two, possibly leading to some sort of a cinematic match.

#1 Brock Lesnar could return to have a massive confrontation at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021

Arguably one of the biggest returns that could happen at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 this Sunday is that of Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate hasn't been seen on WWE TV since WrestleMania 36 where he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre.

With WWE set to have live fans back, Vince McMahon might be tempted to bring back one of his biggest attractions in Brock Lesnar. Recently, there have been a number of rumors regarding Lesnar's WWE return. While there are no solid plans for him yet, things could change.

Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley is one of the dream matches that WWE definitely should give to the fans. This year's SummerSlam seems to be the perfect stage for that, especially with Lashley's WWE Championship on the line.

Bobby Lashley is set to defend his title inside Hell in a Cell this Sunday against Drew McIntyre. If he does retain it, Brock Lesnar could return and confront him to close out WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. This could set things up perfectly for a mega-encounter between the two at WWE's Biggest Party of the Summer.
