WWE has managed to book itself into a corner when it comes to Hell in a Cell this year, since we are a little more than a week away from the show and there are only three matches officially on the card.

Instead of making matches for Hell in a Cell over the past few weeks, WWE has made matches for SmackDown Live's switch over to FOX, which is just two days before and now there is only one week left to build the show.

The most likely scenario here is that Kofi Kingston is able to retain his Championship against Lesnar on Sunday night and then at Hell in a Cell there is a rematch between both men. It's highly unlikely that Lesnar would defend his title on a B-level pay-per-view like Hell in a Cell, but there needs to be a WWE Championship match as part of the show and if he could win the title then he might make an exception.

It's hard to imagine that Kingston wouldn't defend his title at Hell in a Cell, so it's likely that he will retain with the help of The New Day and the duo will then be banned from ringside for the rematch.
