Rey Mysterio was initially set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell this weekend. The match was announced last week on SmackDown after Reigns had laid waste to Mysterio's son Dominik the week before.
Instead of waiting until Sunday night, Rey Mysterio sent out a tweet to Roman Reigns where he stated that he wanted the match on SmackDown.
It's the first time in WWE history that a Hell in a Cell match will take place, and it appears that Reigns has accepted the match since it's been made official for tonight's show. The Hell in a Cell stipulation means that there could be plenty of interference from The Usos and Rey's son Dominik as the rivalry between the two sides continues to play out.

It’s eating me up inside. I can’t wait any longer. I want the Hell In A Cell match tomorrow night. @WWERomanReigns@HeymanHustle
It's unclear as to whether or not there will be a rematch at Hell in a Cell on Sunday night, since there are only five matches currently official for the show, or if Reigns will not be working the show.
