WWE Hell In A Cell 2019: 5 matches likely to be added to the card

We are less than three weeks away from the next WWE pay-per-view, Hell in a Cell. Following a fairly decent Clash Of Champions show, it seems like some of WWE's biggest storylines are about to blow off at the right time.

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks will continue their promising rivalry for the RAW Women's Championship inside Hell in a Cell. Also, Seth Rollins will defend his Universal Championship inside the structure against The Fiend, but there will be more matches aside from these two blockbusters.

WWE should ideally plan out the card in advance and limit the show to eight or nine matches, to gain optimum output from each one. Clash Of Champions saw eleven matches, including the Kickoff Show, mainly due to the 'every title will be defended' theme of the pay-per-view. This week's SmackDown has given us a fair idea of what to expect at Hell in a Cell, while RAW hasn't been quite as clear in any stories outside the two major Hell in a Cell matches.

While this list will not complete the entire match card, here are five matches that WWE could book for Hell in a Cell.

#5 AJ Styles vs Cedric Alexander (United States Championship)

Will Cedric retaliate?

After a big moment on RAW at Madison Square Garden, Cedric Alexander endured two difficult nights against AJ Styles. The pair's United States Championship match was demoted to the Kickoff Show at Clash Of Champions and Alexander lost in underwhelming fashion. He was then beaten again by the leader of the OC during a 6-man tag team match on RAW.

Adding insult to injury, the former 205 Live star was also assaulted by Styles, Gallows, and Anderson after both matches. If this is the end of his challenges, it would be very unfortunate for Alexander, however there is a chance he bounces back on next week's RAW to earn another title shot against AJ Styles at Hell in a Cell. He could even win the belt, creating a nice little redemption story.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura vs Ali (Intercontinental Championship)

Ali is finally on the show.

It looked like Ali was set to begin a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, following the latter's Intercontinental Championship victory over Finn Balor on the Extreme Rules Kickoff Show. They even had a match at the televised Smackville live event, with the champion retaining. After that, Ali picked up a pinfall victory over Nakamura, but the story looked to be dropped, as WWE approached SummerSlam. Then, the former 'Heart' of 205 Live entered the King of the Ring tournament. After blinders against Buddy Murphy and Elias, Ali went back to having no relevant story to sink his teeth into.

That was until Nakamura attacked him before their scheduled match on SmackDown this week. Now, it looks like WWE might be following through with this planned feud from last month. The two could have a really good match at Hell in a Cell, with plenty of shenanigans from Sami Zayn on the outside. A match between Ali and Zayn would also be sensational and could serve as a great advertisement for the incredible talent on SmackDown Live, once the show moves to FOX. Ali is a fantastic representative for the company in so many ways and WWE should really do more with him.

Bayley survived Charlotte at Clash of Champions

#3 Bayley vs Charlotte Flair (SmackDown Women's Championship)

As soon as Bayley turned heel, the WWE universe rejoiced. This was due to the fact that she had been incredibly stale for a really long time, despite being the reigning SmackDown Women's Champion. Bayley has played her role to perfection so far, escaping from Clash Of Champions with her title after a laughably cheap victory against Charlotte Flair. Immediately after pinning Flair in a four minute match, Bayley grabbed her belt and sprinted out of the arena without even looking back once.

Bayley has finally taken to her character and along with Sasha Banks, could be ruling the WWE's women's division for awhile. However, just like Sasha's feud with Becky Lynch, it doesn't seem like the issue between Bayley and Charlotte is done yet. These two will probably have one more pay-per-view match, a proper one this time. It would be a tough one to predict, especially after the match at Clash of Champions. The Queen could possibly win the title once again, freeing Bayley for a move to RAW where she and Sasha could rule the roost together.

#2 Bludgeon Brothers vs Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan

This is what everything has led to.

Luke Harper made a shocking return to WWE at Clash Of Champions, helping Erick Rowan secure a victory over Roman Reigns. This came over a year after he was last seen on WWE TV. The two look set on becoming the destructive force they once were and have their sights set on the Big Dog. Rowan's former tag-team partner, Daniel Bryan, has also entered the mix. The pair were viciously taken out by the reunited Bludgeon Brothers, with Bryan going through the announce table.

This is the result of the Roman Reigns "Whodunnit?" storyline and it seems like Reigns will team with the initial prime suspect to take on the monstrous duo of Rowan and Harper. It certainly is an intriguing concept, especially with Bryan back to being a babyface again, at least for the short term. Reigns and Bryan will most likely team up at Hell in a Cell against the Bludgeon Brothers. From there, anything could happen. Maybe this was a ruse all along and Bryan is eventually revealed as Harper and Rowan's leader, but that doesn't seem as likely anymore, especially after experiencing multiple attacks.

#1 Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon (Hell in a Cell Match)

It's time for business to pick up.

This angle between Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon started off red hot, with KO cutting a "pipebomb" promo on his boss. Since then, some of the buzz has worn off. Owens defeated Shane O'Mac in a standard affair at SummerSlam, but since then McMahon has gone out of his way to make Owens' life a living hell. The former Universal Champion was fined a hefty amount for putting his hands on an official and was later fired after officiating a King of the Ring tournament match that McMahon lost.

KO has now come back, threatening to sue Shane for wrongful termination. While he has not been booked like the badass anti-authoritarian who doesn't care about consequences, Owens has been presented in a more realistic light. He is extremely relatable in his current role and the beatdown heading Shane's way would be much more effective for it. Wrestling fans haven't seen a Stunner in a while.

This could all be leading to a Hell in a Cell match between the two, where each of their jobs are on the line. It wouldn't be the first time that Owens and McMahon have faced each other inside the satanic structure, as the two previously battled at the 2017 Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. KO was actually the heel in that match, coming out victorious following a terrifying bump from Shane O'Mac. Hopefully, the outcome remains the same, even if the alignments have changed.
