WWE Hell in a Cell: 5 Surprises that could happen- Surprise interference, Heel turn

Hell in a Cell
Hell in a Cell

I have been doing this for a long time and yet, I don't remember the last time that WWE did something of this nature. We're only days removed from a pay-per-view and yet, the company has not announced most of the card.

It just seems like so much time and energy was invested into the debut of SmackDown on FOX, that Hell in a Cell was forgotten by fans. And yet, it comes our way in less than twenty-four hours with only four of the matches announced.

So with my limited knowledge, let me try and write my usual 'surprises' piece for your reading pleasure, ladies and gentlemen. Pardon me if it's a little awkward and haphazard because much like you, my knowledge of the card is limited.

I'm guessing WWE will be announcing more matches in the hours to follow.


#5 The Undertaker appears inside Hell in a Cell

We all know that there's a big Undertaker vs The Fiend match that's going to happen either at WrestleMania or in Saudi Arabia at some point in the near future. I do not claim to have inside information at all, but judging from WWE's booking patterns, this is a match that they are looking at, at some point down the line.

Most WWE Superstars would need a lock and a key to enter the Hell in a Cell. But The Undertaker can tap into the powers of the supernatural and just show up inside Hell in a Cell, to confront The Fiend. Imagine how the arena would explode if this confrontation were to happen.

It could also be a great way to keep the title on Seth Rollins. And it may even explain why The Undertaker did not show up on SmackDown at FOX, because this is clearly much bigger.

#4 Daniel Bryan betrays Roman Reigns during their match

When WWE cannot find the time to fit The Undertaker on its show, but still does a handshake angle between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, you know that something is amiss, something is awry in this whole picture. It is almost a certainty that Daniel Bryan will end up betraying Roman Reigns to prove that this was all a plan between himself, Rowan and Harper to set Roman Reigns up for the fall, to kickstart a new feud. A feud between himself and Roman Reigns would be big business when it is confirmed.

Even though many are yearning for the 'Yes!' movement to return and for Daniel Bryan to become the same babyface who won us over at 'YestleMania' all those years ago, I don't think he should quit his heel ways yet. Bryan is exceptional as a heel, as a loudmouthed advocate for the environment, and could become a central player on either RAW or SmackDown during the draft. Him leading a stable consisting of Harper and Rowan against The New Day would be quite the feud, I believe.

But all of that must begin with a betrayal at Hell in a Cell, airing this weekend.

#3 Lashley and Rusev involved in a backstage brawl

While no match between these two men has been announced as I write this, we all know that Rusev and Bobby Lashley are on a collision course. The two men will clash somewhere down the line for the affection of Rusev's wife, Lana.

Could there be a heated backstage brawl between the two men as a prelude to the fight, as Lana watches her two men throw fists at one another? Maybe she even interferes and betrays her own husband to set up a heel turn for herself, clearly establishing Rusev as the babyface in this whole situation.

Rusev was on a high when Rusev Day took off and became a sensation, but since then his luck hasn't exactly panned out in the way that he would have liked it. The whole angle was nixed as Aiden English and Lana were paired as a part of a romantic storyline that really went nowhere, but ended up splitting what was a great team.

But this could be all part of Rusev's redemption as he and Lashley tell a story that needs no title to make it a really big deal in the eyes of fans!

#2 Nia Jax returns to cost Becky Lynch her match

Many could argue that Becky Lynch became a household name when Nia Jax hit her in the face and Becky had blood streaming down, on international television. It was just a cool visual and it established The Man as a tough woman who really meant business. There is a lot of equity in a feud between Becky Lynch and Nia Jax in my opinion and I could certainly see it officially starting from Hell in a Cell 2019 onward.

So, how does Nia Jax overcome the fact that Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks are locked inside Hell in a Cell? As we have seen several times in the past, even though the announcers make it sound like there is no way that anyone could enter the Cell, someone or the other invariably does. All it takes is a set of pliers or a corrupt referee or to be quite honest, a bullied referee who has no choice but to listen to a said Superstar.

Nia Jax has been on the shelf but it would be really cool to see her return and cost Becky Lynch her big match. Sasha Banks needs the title more than Becky Lynch at this particular point.

#1 The Fiend throws Rollins from the top of the dreaded cell

And ultimately, we must talk about the one match that people are buzzing about the most, one we spoke of at the very start of this very article. Bray Wyatt is in perhaps the biggest match of his career, assuming the Fiend persona to take on the reigning Universal Champion, Seth Rollins.

The match takes place inside Hell in a Cell, but as we have seen in the past, a lot of matches that take place within the structure also end up on the top of the said cell. What if Bray Wyatt were to throw Rollins down from atop Hell in a Cell, sending him packing for a brief spell?

You give Seth Rollins some time to recoup and recover while The Fiend runs through the roster, one by one. And then maybe in 2020, Seth Rollins returns from injury to take on The Fiend once again for the Championship, renewing their rivalry for yet another title feud, this time with him as the challenger, chasing the title.

It could certainly be the biggest talking point from the whole show.
