Result Predictions for Hell in a Cell, three potential matches and the effects of Super Show-Down

Hell in a Cell is nearly here, but only seven matches have been slated so far for the night. Five championships are confirmed to be contested for in the event, along with two Hell in a Cell matches.

Roman Reigns will be defending the Universal Championship inside the demonic structure against Braun Strowman. The match also happens to be the Money in the Bank cash-in for the “Monster Among Men." Considering the beatings Braun Strowman has given the reigning champion for two weeks in a row, the match has drawn the utmost level of attention.

AJ Styles will be defending the WWE Championship against Samoa Joe for the second PPV in a row. The last time these two men faced each other at SummerSlam, things got heated and the champion lost the match due to disqualification. The Samoan has got under the skin of his opponent and it will be interesting to see whether the champion can keep his composure this time.

Before WWE takes a tour to Hell, thanks to the PPV, here are the result predictions, possible stipulations along with potential matches which could be added to the card. Not to mention, Super Show-Down will significantly impact the outcome of matches next Sunday.

#1 Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella will win the mixed tag match

The Miz was able to steal a victory at SummerSlam when he hit Daniel Bryan with brass knuckles. Those were passed to him by his wife, Maryse. As a result, the fans are treated to a match as both the couples take on each other.

The stars of Miz and the Mrs. could end on the losing side next Sunday. Notably, Daniel Bryan is scheduled to face the “Awesome One” at the Super Show-Down to determine the number one contender for the WWE Championship.

It would make perfect sense for the leader of the “YES” movement to gain momentum ahead of his match in Australia since he lost at SummerSlam. This would set the record straight and the next match would become a rubber match.

#2 Ronda Rousey will retain the Women’s championship

There is absolutely no way that the former UFC Champion is going to drop the WWE Women’s Championship within a month of winning it. It would be ideal for the Evolution PPV to showcase the “Rowdy One” as the defending champion.

Not to mention, Alexa Bliss is scheduled to face Trish Stratus at that PPV. It won’t make much sense to involve the Women’s championship in that match.

However, the burning question of the hour is whether the reigning champion would be able to make the challenger submit again. The fans around the planet would love to see that happening, and it would be a great way to end the rivalry between these two women.

#3 Randy Orton will defeat Jeff Hardy

Will Jeff Hardy take Randy Orton to extreme?

Randy Orton made it a point to victimize Jeff Hardy since he made his return at Extreme Rules PPV a couple of months earlier. His calculated attacks have ignited new levels of fire inside the victim.

A couple of weeks ago, the “Enigma” reached the extreme level of combat and beat the daylights out of the “Viper” on SmackDown Live before putting him through a table. The Hell in a Cell match between them would ensure that these two take each other to hell by tearing each other apart.

Jeff Hardy is also known for taking huge risks during his match, especially with his aerial maneuvers. This could prove to be fatal given the nature of the match. Hence, it is better to bet that the thirteen times World Champion would walk out victorious from the cell.

#4 The New Day will retain the championships

The challenger for the SmackDown Live tag team championships is still to be determined. This week on SD, the Bar will face the team of Rusev and Aiden English and the winner will earn the title opportunity.

Interestingly, the New Day is already advertised to defend the championships at the Super Show-Down next month. Hence, it is certain that pancake lovers will be able to defend their titles next Sunday.

However, it will be interesting to see whether the number one contender’s match could be used to split Rusev and Aiden English. If this happens, they would soon be booked in a one-on-one match against each other.

#5 Charlotte Flair will defeat Becky Lynch

Once again, the effects of Super Show-Down are quite visible on the upcoming PPV. The show has already advertised that Charlotte Flair will defend the championship against Becky Lynch.

Even though the result of this match is apparent, the match between the friends-turned-enemies would unfold a great story. Becky Lynch destroyed the champion along with their friendship after the Triple Threat match concluded at SummerSlam.

It’s a great opportunity for the WWE think-tank to pen down an impact making story between these two talented women. Let’s hope these two steal the show at the Hell in a Cell PPV.

#6 AJ Styles will retain the WWE Championship, a No-DQ match?

The rivalry between these two former TNA Superstars has reached new heights since Samoa Joe involved AJ Styles’ family in the angle. The emotions got the better of the champion at SummerSlam, and he got disqualified for using a chair on his opponent.

Hence, it makes more sense that a No-Disqualification stipulation is added to this match ahead of Hell in a Cell PPV.

Samoa Joe has been playing mind games with the reigning champion from the last couple of weeks. It will be interesting to see how the champion can keep his emotions in check as he defends the championship against his arch-rival. Once again, Super Show-Down is the spoiler here.

#7 Braun Strowman becomes the Monstrous Champion

If something will withstand the physicality which Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman are going to unleash on each other, it has to be made of steel. Hence, a Hell in a Cell match is the perfect place for these two powerhouses to collide.

Braun Strowman has been on a tremendous run since last year. Let’s hope that WWE doesn’t kill his momentum like they did at the No Mercy last year when Brock Lesnar pinned him in the Universal Championship match.

It could a huge deal for WWE if the trio of Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre hold the championships ahead of their six-man tag match at Super Show-Down against the Shield.

#8 Potential Match 1: Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin

Finn Balor has been consistently booked poorly since he has made his return. He returned to the “Demon King” avatar at SummerSlam and earned a thunderous response, but again, he is nowhere to be found on the current match card for Hell in a Cell.

It is almost certain that he will face the acting General Manager of Raw, Baron Corbin, at the PPV. They have been going at each other for a couple of months now, and this feud needs to be put to rest with Balor winning next Sunday.

The WWE Universe would love to see the Irish Superstar getting booked in better matches. Let’s hope that it happens in Australia.

#9 Potential Match 2: Kevin Owens vs. Bobby Lashley

Two weeks ago, Kevin Owens announced that he was quitting. In a bizarre turn of events, he returned the subsequent week and executed an attack on Bobby Lashley as the latter had his meditation session with Jinder Mahal in the ring.

This has set the tone for these two to be booked in a one-on-one match at Hell in a Cell PPV. Although that match has a short build up, it is impossible to keep the “Prizefigher” out of an event at this point, thanks to his incredible wrestling performances and crisp microphone skills.

More than Owens, it is Bobby Lashley who needs this match. WWE Universe would love to see him make the most of this opportunity.

#10 Potential Match 3: The Shield challenges the Tag Team Champions

Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler have been involved in a couple of classic matches for the Intercontinental Championship in the last couple of months. Adding Drew McIntyre and Dean Ambrose to this mix suggests only one thing: a tag team match.

The team of Dolph and Drew won the Raw Tag Team Championships last week on Raw. Hence, it is safe to say that they will be defending their newly earned gold against the Shield next Sunday.

Although the current match card for the upcoming PPV seems shorter than usual, each match has a decent build up associated with it. Adding these two matches to the card would bring more gravitas to the event.
