WWE Hell in a Cell 2018 will be live on the WWE Network this Sunday. The PPV will be aired from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. WWE had a lot of time to build up all their storylines for this PPV. There are a few matches on the card where it's hard to predict what will exactly happen.
Looking at the match card on paper, it looks pretty decent. Superstars like Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, Elias, Nakamura etc. don't have any match. So we do expect WWE to announce some last minute matches before Sunday. In this article, I am going to predict all the matches that are official for Hell in a Cell 2018.
#1 Jeff Hardy VS Randy Orton (Hell in a Cell match)
WWE has been building this match for a long time. Ever since Randy Orton turned heel, this feud has just got hotter. And WWE has confirmed the Hell in a Cell match stipulation which is going to make this even more brutal. While the result of this match could go either way, having Jeff Hardy win makes more sense.
I think this feud shouldn't be dragged on for too long as these two could easily be involved in the United States Championship picture. I also expect Jeff Hardy to do some out-of-the-world stunt in the Hell in a Cell. And also, he should put an end to RKO and win this match.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
#2 Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella VS The Miz & Maryse
The Miz against Daniel Bryan has been a great feud ever since it began. The Miz cheated to win at Summerslam. This time, WWE has involved wives of both superstars to make it a mixed tag team match. We all know Miz will fight Bryan at WWE Super Showdown. The winner, therefore, will get a shot at the WWE Championship.
I think this feud is far from over. And WWE will go the simple route this time. Last time The Miz won, so it makes sense that Bryan & Brie win this one. It's WWE's trademark to always book the long-term feuds 50/50. So there is not much of a reason as to why Bryan & Brie should win. But only because it makes sense for the storyline, I think that's what they are going to do.
Winner: Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella
#3 Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre VS Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins (RAW Tag Team Titles)
Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler recently defeated The B-Team to become new RAW Tag Team Champions. And their first PPV defense will be against Rollins & Ambrose. Firstly, I think this is going to be one of the best matches on the card. The potential that all four of these superstars have, will result in something great. Now WWE could simply have The Shield dominate and win the titles. But I don't think that's the right thing to do.
Ziggler & McIntyre are the biggest heels on RAW and have to get some credibility before dropping the titles. I think this feud will also be continuing for at least a couple more PPVs. So The Shield can win the titles at the end of everything. But Drew & Dolph should be booked dominant & strong because it's been too long since we had that in the Raw Tag Team Division.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre
#4 The New Day VS Rusev Day (Smackdown Live Tag Team Titles)
Rusev Day earned an opportunity to fight The New Day after defeating The Bar on Smackdown Live. We all know that WWE loves New Day because they are great entertainers and more importantly massive merch sellers.
Rusev Day though has failed to win anything big since they were put together as a team. WWE always books them like they will win the titles and then they lose at the PPV. And I fear that this time will be no different.
The only way Rusev Day could lose here is if Aiden English somehow costs them the match. Or WWE could just bury them like always. New Day is the favorite to win, but I'm going to make a bold prediction that this time WWE is going to do the right thing. Rusev Day should be crowned the new champions.
Winner: Rusev Day
#5 Ronda Rousey VS Alexa Bliss (RAW Women's Title)
Ever since Ronda Rousey became the RAW Women's Champion, she has been booked very strong by the WWE. Alexa Bliss has tried to get the better of Ronda but failed to do so. This Sunday, Alexa will get her rematch for the title. I think there is no way that Ronda will drop the title to Alexa. WWE is going to keep her as champion for as long as possible. Because obviously, she is their biggest women's superstar.
One thing WWE can surprise us with is the return of Nia Jax. She could either interfere in this match or attack Ronda after the match. But whatever happens, Ronda is going to retain. Alexa is set to face Trish Stratus at WWE Evolution so her feud with Ronda should end this Sunday.
Winner: Ronda Rousey
#6 Charlotte Flair VS Becky Lynch (Smackdown Live Women's Title)
The friendship between Becky Lynch & Charlotte came to an end after Charlotte became the Women's Champion at Summerslam. Becky thought she was robbed of a win and she should have been the champion instead.
Since then, Becky has turned heel on her best friend. I think WWE has done a great job with the buildup of this match. I believe it will be an awesome match as well. But as far as the result goes, I think Charlotte needs to retain.
Becky's new gimmick has been working wonders for her and definitely she win the title sooner rather than later. But giving her the title at Hell in a Cell is a bit too early. This feud should be booked long-term. WWE can do many more things with the heel Becky before they give her the title.
Winner: Charlotte Flair
#7 AJ Styles VS Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)
Samoa Joe is hands down the best heel WWE has right now. He has basically built this match's storyline on his own. With the weekly promo's insulting AJ's family, he has done a great job of making this rivalry feel personal. So the story of this match is basically that AJ is going to fight his heart out for his family and put Samoa Joe down.
As mentioned before, The Miz vs Daniel Bryan has been announced as the No.1 contender's match at Super Showdown. So it looks like Samoa Joe is losing this Sunday. Because if AJ lost, it makes no sense to find a new contender. AJ will, therefore, put Joe down this Sunday and retain his championship.
Winner: AJ Styles
#8 Roman Reigns VS Braun Strowman (WWE Universal Championship)
Mick Foley was on RAW this week and he announced that he will be the special guest referee for Roman Reigns VS Braun Strowman this Sunday. Braun Strowman turned heel after he couldn't cope with The Shield by himself. He aligned himself with Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler to form a team of his own. Although this will be a Hell in a Cell match, expect all kinds of interference. It will be exciting to see what role Mick Foley will play as the referee. Will he be thrown off the cell? Will he help Roman or Braun to win? No one knows.
But one thing that is pretty much guaranteed is that Roman Reigns will retain his title. WWE took more than 3 years to make him the champion and there is no way he loses in his first PPV defense. So even after all the help, it doesn't look like Braun is winning the title.
Winner: Roman Reigns
