Fantasy booking the road to Hell in a Cell for the Universal Title picture.

The universal title picture seems more vibrant than ever because of a full-timer holding it. When was the last time it was defended on Raw? There are so many potential contenders like Bobby Lashley and Kevin Owens, with Mr Monster in the Bank, Braun Strowman lurking in the corner. Last Monday, we had a chaotic finish to Raw, with The Shield reuniting and preventing Strowman from cashing in his money in the bank contract. To which, Braun had the following tweet

This tweet opens up several exciting scenarios, one of which I am going to suggest in this article. There are three weeks left till the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, which means there are three episodes of Monday Night Raw that I should book.

The first episode- Strowman has some backup:

The show kicks off with an angry Strowman marching to the ring and cutting a promo on what happened the previous week. He says that The Shield claims to be fighting for justice, but what they did last week was anything but that. He then warns The Shield that they have not realized what they have gotten themselves into and then declares war on them. A war that will not end until Strowman captures the Universal Title.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Next, we see The Shield cutting their famous backstage promo with the camera. They say that they will always stand for justice. They prevented injustice by preventing Strowman from cashing in on a tired champion. They then say they are ready for whatever Strowman has in his plans. Roman then announces that he will be defending the Universal Title tonight against another man who hasn't received a rematch for the championship, Kevin Owens. He goes on to say he wants to be a fighting champion and if someone wants to face him they can just ask.

We then move on to some in-ring action, as Bobby Lashley is set to have a match. He easily defeats his opponent and then gets on the mic. He announces his desire to face Roman for the Universal Title.

Now, we have the main event, Roman vs Kevin for the Universal Title. Ambrose and Rollins are in the corner to prevent another cash-in attempt from Strowman. Midway into the match, we hear Strowman's music and he makes his way onto the ramp. Ambrose and Rollins get near the ramp to confront him. Roman is distracted by all this when Luke Harper suddenly appears and attacks him from behind. (Erick Rowan is inured so Harper doesn't have much to do. You can have him come to Raw by some sort of trade or something.) This results in the match ending via DQ. When Ambrose goes into the ring to help Roman, the lights go off. When it appears back on, he is confronted by Bray Wyatt. (Another person that has nothing to do because his partner got injured.) We then have an in-ring confrontation between The Shield and The old Wyatt Family(This time it should not be called Wyatt Family since Strowman is the main guy.) to end the show. The commentators exclaim, the war is on!

Now, there is no face and heel dynamic in this feud. Both factions believe what they do is right. This kind of atmosphere creates a sense of unpredictability on Raw.

The second episode-Others join the fray:

The show kicks off with The Shield making their way onto the ring via the audience. During their entrance, they are attacked by the old Wyatt Family and a brawl ensues. A chaotic start to the show.

After a few segments, Constable Corbin makes his way onto the ring to address this chaotic situation and the Universal Title match for Hell in a Cell. He is interrupted by Kevin Owens who says he deserves another shot at the title as his match last week ended via DQ. We then hear Finn Balor's music, who also says he wants another opportunity at the title as he was very close to winning it the previous time. Bobby Lashley then comes out and says he too deserves a title shot and he already made his intentions clear last week. Corbin then makes the match for Hell in a Cell. Roman will defend his title against Bray Wyatt, Lashley, Balor, Owens and finally, Brock Lesnar (I know that Kurt said that he won't be getting a rematch anytime soon, but this is another authority figure.) in an Armageddon Hell in a Cell match for the first time ever in 18 years. But he says Balor's spot is confirmed only if he beats him in a one-on-one match.

En
The first Armageddon Hell in a Cell match.

Finn and Corbin have a back-and-forth match which the former wins. He then grabs a mic and says the Armaggedon Hell in Cell match will be a very brutal affair, and this sort of match is a perfect occasion for the Demon to appear. ( You can still keep the demon strong by not having him take the pinfall.)

It is then announced that next week, Brock Lesnar will make an appearance.

The go-home episode-The Beast enters the battlefield:

During the entire episode, we get promo packages about the brutality of the Hell in a Cell match where the ones that competed in the first one tell how their lives changed after that match. We are also shown videos about how each participant is training for their upcoming bout. (Except for Brock of course)

It is also announced that Seth Rollins will defend the IC Title against Luke Harper and Braun Strowman will defend his Money in the Bank contract against Dean Ambrose at the pay-per-view.

In the last segment of the night, we get the appearance that was hyped up during the entire night. Brock Lesnar along with Paul Heyman make their way to the ring. Heyman cuts a promo hyping up the upcoming match. He also mentions something about the current 'war' going on on Raw, and then says something like this:

" It ain't a war without the Beast in it. Fasten your seatbelts because this war is going to turn ugly now that Brock Lesnar has entered the battlefield"

He is then interrupted by The Shield who circle around the ring ready to attack Brock when suddenly the lights go off. When it is back on, the Old Wyatt Family has also entered the ring. A fight starts. The other participants of the Hell in a Cell match also come out and enter the fight. The Shield triple powerbombs Lesnar onto the announce table. Then Ambrose and Rollins are taken out. At the end of the fight, Strowman is the only one standing tall. The crowd then goes wild as they realize that Strowman is about to cash in his contract. Just when the bell is about to ring, he is attacked by Lesnar who delivers an F5 to him. This will lead to Strowman costing Lesnar the match at Hell in a Cell. ( Which eventually sets up a one-on-one match between the two where Lesnar finally loses clean.)

The episode ends with Lesnar standing tall.
