WWE Hell in a Cell 2021: 5 Potential finishes for Bianca Belair vs Bayley 

Bianca Belair defends her SmackDown Women's Championship against Bayley this weekend at Hell in a Cell. The EST of WWE was successful in her quest to become champion back at WrestleMania. She was then able to defeat Bayley last month at WrestleMania Backlash.

Bayley claimed her defeat at WrestleMania Backlash was a fluke and has since been able to earn herself another shot at the title. The former SmackDown Women's Champion has seemingly had Bianca Belair's number in recent weeks. She also has the claim that she is still the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion in history.

As part of last year's Hell in a Cell, Bayley stepped inside the steel structure for the first time and lost her championship to Sasha Banks. Bayley will once again be stepping inside the structure this year and will be hoping that her experience will be enough to overcome the current champion.

The following list looks at just five potential finishes for Bianca Belair's second title defence against Bayley in the space of a month.

#5. Bianca Belair retains her SmackDown Women's Championship inside Hell in a Cell

Bianca Belair made history en route to defeating Sasha Banks at WrestleMania back in April. The current SmackDown Women's Champion has only been on the main roster for just over a year but has never stepped inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

Belair has several weapons at her disposal inside the cell structure, including her hair, which helped her defeat Bayley back at WrestleMania Backlash. Everything is legal inside the Cell which means that both women will be looking to pull out all the stops to walk out SmackDown Women's Champion.

Whilst Bianca Belair doesn't have the experience that the former champion holds inside the structure, she has already defeated Bayley in a one-on-one match and is aware of her weaknesses. Belair is also The EST of WWE and has a small amount time to adapt to her surroundings since the Hell in a Cell match was only announced a few hours ago on this week's SmackDown.

Bianca Belair has been pushed hard on SmackDown since her Royal Rumble win back in January. It's hard to see the former NXT star not being able to overcome Bayley this weekend at Hell in a Cell.

#4. Bayley defeats Bianca Belair to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion inside Hell in a Cell

Bayley stepped inside the Hell in a Cell structure for the first time as part of last year's pay-per-view. She lost her SmackDown Women's Championship to Sasha Banks.

The former Women's Champion has had a year to look at what went wrong in that match and will be prepared to step inside the structure once again this weekend.

The one thing that Bayley currently has over her challenger is the experience inside the cell. Bianca Belair has never wrestled inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

The Hell in a Cell stipulation means that weapons will be legal as part of the match. This also means that the odds have evened since Belair used her hair to win the match against Bayley last month at WrestleMania Backlash.

The Role Model is the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion for a reason and she will be hoping to prove this inside the structure tomorrow night at Hell in a Cell.

#3. Sasha Banks returns to help Bayley win the SmackDown Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell

Bayley and Sasha Banks collided at last year's Hell in a Cell for the SmackDown Women's Championship. It is a feud that could be revisited on Sunday night.

Banks and Bayley were once the best of friends until the championship came between them. Now that Bianca Belair is champion and at odds with Bayley, Banks could make her return and reignite her friendship with the former Women's Champion.

Bayley wasn't able to defeat Bianca Belair last month at WrestleMania Backlash. She could have called in reinforcements to help her win back her championship at Hell in a Cell this weekend.

Bayley and Banks could then have a deal that, if Bayley wins inside the Hell in a Cell structure, she could offer Banks the rematch that she wasn't given following WrestleMania.

The Boss and The Role Model know that they can't defeat Belair alone. It's easy to see the two women teaming up once again to overcome SmackDown's newest threat to the Women's Division.

#2. The Street Profits help Bianca Belair to retain her SmackDown Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell

Bianca Belair defends the SmackDown Women's Championship inside the Hell in a Cell structure. The no-disqualification stipulation in HIAC matches could open the door to interference.

Whilst Bianca Belair is the face heading into this match, her partner Montez Ford has been teasing some kind of heel turn in recent weeks, especially since he was seen with MVP on Instagram.

The Street Profits are looking for a way to insert themselves back into the Tag Team Championship picture. If his wife is in a position where she is unable to win the match against Bayley then Ford may make his presence known.

Belair and her husband have been linked on WWE TV throughout her time on the main roster. Given the fact that Belair hasn't made many friends on SmackDown, her husband could be her only ally.

Bayley has many friends on the SmackDown roster and has been inside Hell in a Cell before, which could give her quite the advantage on Sunday night.

#1. Sasha Banks returns to interfere in the SmackDown Women's Championship match at Hell in a Cell

Sasha Banks has quite the history inside the Hell in a Cell structure and it would be strange if the former Women's Champion missed this year's show.

Banks is the only woman to have competed in every female Hell in a Cell match in WWE history. She was finally able to pick up a victory at last year's event.

The former Women's Champion hasn't been seen on WWE TV since the episode of SmackDown after her defeat to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania. The Boss became the youngest female wrestler to main event WrestleMania back in April but was unable to hold on to her championship. She has since taken some time away from the company after her loss.

Banks hasn't had a rematch for the championship and, even though automatic rematches no longer exist in WWE, the former champion could have a claim to the title if Belair is still champion. Interference from Banks would also set up a triple threat match at Money in the Bank next month, between three of SmackDown's biggest stars.

Banks has always been in it for herself so she could decide to attack both women so that the match is ruled a no-contest.
