#1 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt could challenge Roman Reigns inside Hell in a Cell

In a moment that may have missed many viewers, the end of WWE's Hell in a Cell video package may have hinted at Roman Reigns' next Universal Championship match. Just after he was shown as the final image of the promo, The Fiend's laugh could be heard in the background. This may be the most subtle foreshadowing to a pay-per-view main event in recent WWE history.

Roman Reigns won the Universal Title from 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt at Payback, without pinning him, and there have been multiple teases towards a feud between the pair on SmackDown.

From Wyatt introducing a Paul Heyman-esque puppet to the Firefly Fun House, to Alexa Bliss staring a hole through Reigns on the stage, the fans have constantly been reminded that the two biggest stars on the Blue brand are on a collision course in the near future. But it seems unlikely that WWE would book the match so soon into the big Dog's title reign.

If the end of the Hell in a Cell promo was intentional, Roman Reigns will face The Fiend inside the Cell. However, after the disaster of last year, WWE will need to be creative in how they book Bray Wyatt inside the satanic structure.

Roman Reigns will almost certainly retain the Universal Championship if this match is indeed happening next month. If destroying his family member wasn't enough, pinning The Fiend would send the Tribal Chief over the edge as WWE's most hated villain.
