And, here are our official predictions for WWE Hell in a Cell 2017:

---

#1) Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin vs The Hype Bros (Tag team match on the Kickoff show)

This seems to be a pretty basic match with no real history. Gable and Benjamin should pick up the win but we might very well see some change for The Hype Bros. Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley could be turning heel or breaking up as a team.

This would be the Gold Standard's first WWE PPV in over 7 years and his first ever Hell in a Cell appearance. WWE better make him look good!

Prediction: Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin win.

#2) Randy Orton vs Rusev (Singles match)

Rusev decided to take another shot at Randy Orton despite his loss to The Viper at WWE Summerslam 2017. This should be a win for Ru Ru in order to give him some momentum going forward.

Prediction: Rusev wins dirty.

#3) Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler (Singles match)

Dolph Ziggler's wrestling entrance antics finally got the attention of Bobby Roode and now we have The Glorious One's first feud on the main roster. Roode needs to win this and we fully expect him to walk away with a glorious victory.

Prediction: Bobby Roode wins.

#4) Natalya (c) vs Charlotte Flair (Singles match for the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship

Finally, after months of waiting, Charlotte Flair has received another shot at the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship against Natalya. The way things are looking with the division, Charlotte winning the title could be the only thing that can save it.

Prediction: Charlotte wins to become the new champion.

#5) AJ Styles (c) vs Baron Corbin (Singles match for the WWE United States Championship)

AJ Styles and Baron Corbin's rivalry has quickly become a heated affair in the aftermath of WWE Summerslam 2017 and Corbin's failure to establish himself. The two have been at each other's throats and this could be the feud that makes The Lone Wolf.

We're looking at a win for Corbin and for AJ to move on to bigger and better things.

Prediction: Baron Corbin wins to become the new champion.

#6) The New Day (c) vs The Usos (Tag Team Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship)

WWE Hell in a Cell 2017 should be the final chapter of a phenomenally good feud between The New Day and The Usos as the two teams clash inside the Cell for the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship.

The trio of Xavier Woods, Big E, and Kofi Kingston should be walking away victorious in this conclusion to the months' long program against Jimmy and Jey Uso.

Prediction: The New Day wins to retain.

#7) Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens (Falls Count Anywhere Hell in a Cell match)

The Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens feud has taken on a really violent edge in the past few weeks with Owens snapping and attacking both Shane as well as Vince McMahon. Hell in a Cell 2017 should see the two men finally put things to rest.

With the stipulation being Falls Count Anywhere Hell in a Cell, expect some pretty crazy spots here. Despite his heelish nature, Owens needs the win here.

Prediction: Kevin Owens wins.

#8) Jinder Mahal (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Singles match for the WWE Championship)

The main event of the evening sees Jinder Mahal face off against Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship and it's very strange that the main event of the Hell in a Cell pay per view is not taking place inside Hell in a Cell.

Regardless, the King of Strong Style has received his rematch after losing to Mahal at WWE Summerslam 2017 but we still don't expect him to be able to topple the Modern Day Maharaja. What a world we live in.

Prediction: Jinder Mahal wins to retain.
