5 WWE Hell in a Cell Predictions

Seth Rollins will be forced to defend his Intercontinental Championship

Double duty

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose( not the SHIELD, as they explained this past Monday), are set to face Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler( I refuse to call them the Dogs of War), for the RAW Tag Team Championships.

How did this happen?

Seth Rollins basically blackmailed General Manager Baron Corbin into making this match. Corbin can claim that he acquiesced because it is his job to make the big matches, but he did so because he was coerced. And because nothing of value to him was on the line. But mostly because he was coerced.

If Corbin has proved anything thus far, it is that he is petty and vindictive.

The guy holds grudges and is not afraid to abuse his power. We have seen it in his treatment of Finn Balor. He changed the rules mid-match to no-disqualification so that he could use a steel chair to beat Balor. He booked a match between Balor and himself, only to inform Balor at the last minute that he was facing Braun Strowman instead. And, he tried to get back at Bobby Lashley by placing him in a handicap match, which was a fine idea in theory, but not so much in practice, as his opponents were the Ascension. But still. It's the thought that counts, n'est pas?

Seth Rollins crossed the boss. And now, there will be hell to pay (pun intended).

Look for Corbin to force Rollins to defend his Intercontinental Championship, with a view to at best costing him the Championship, and at worst, depleting him before his Tag Team Championship match.

Moreover, there are only 7 matches booked for the main card, and the United States Championship is not being defended. It would be strange for the WWE to not book another match(they don't seem to understand that less is more) and have neither secondary championship defended at the event.

Furthermore, if anybody on the roster has the stamina to pull double-duty, it is Rollins. He wrestled for almost an hour on RAW earlier this year, and famously wrestled for almost 45 minutes at Night of Champions, 2015, against John Cena, and then Sting.

Seth Rollins is going to Burn. It. Down.

Twice.
