WWE Hell In A Cell Preview

By Brandon Albright, @B_Rock1978

What's up wrestling fans it's time for the WWE Hell In A Cell preview for this Sunday's pay per view live on the WWE Network. WWE Hell In A Cell will be live at the Little Caesar's Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

- "WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match": Jinder Mahal (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura: Last month at WWE SummerSlam, Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, with the help from The Singh Brothers. Nakamura got revenge on The Singh Brothers by defeating them in a handicap match a week later. Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton then battled in a #1 Contender Match to determine who would get a title shot at WWE Hell In A Cell, which Nakamura came out of victorious. Mahal spent two weeks mocking Nakamura, his ring entrance, his facial expressions and didn't understand why he had to face Nakamura again when he already beat him. Nakamura responded by promising to defeat Mahal at WWE Hell In A Cell and taking the title away from him. Can Mahal continue his run as the underdog world champion? Will Nakamura finally win the world title now or will The Singh Brothers put a stop to it again??

- "Falls Count Anywhere, Hell In A Cell Match": Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon: Kevin Owens has spent the whole month of August and September placing blame on Shane McMahon for all his issues with the WWE. Owens has blamed Shane for poor officiating in his WWE United States Championship matches against AJ Styles and has accused Shane of disrespect towards him. Shane confronted Owens and told Owens that all his issues have been his own doing and Shane isn't to blame for any of it. Owens took verbal shots at Shane, his family and his kids, making Shane snap and physically attacking Owens. Shane was place on suspension from the company until Vince McMahon could sort things out with Owens, who threatened to sue the WWE. Vince met with Owens, reinstated Shane and announced Shane vs. Owens inside the Hell In A Cell. Owens snapped and viciously attacked Vince after the announcement and promised to end Shane at WWE Hell In A Cell. Shane McMahon responded by threatening to give Owens the beating of his life inside the cell. One week before Hell In A Cell, Shane and Owens had a face to face which ended in another wild brawl throughout the arena. Shane announced that their Hell In A Cell Match would now be a Falls Count Anywhere, Hell In A Cell Match. Will Kevin Owens take out Shane McMahon inside the cell? Can Shane give Owens the beating of his life and defend his families honor??

- "WWE United States Championship Match": AJ Styles (c) vs. Baron Corbin: AJ Styles reinstated the WWE United States Open Challenge and was answered by Tye Dillinger, which upset Baron Corbin because he said he was going to answer the challenge first. Styles defeated Dillinger to retain and then Corbin attacked Dillinger until Styles made the save. Styles faced Dillinger again after Styles offered Dillinger a rematch. Corbin tried to interfere in the match, but was taken out by Styles and a Phenomenal Forearm. After Styles defeated Dillinger, Corbin attacked both men and made it clear that he was answering the next open challenge. Before the match could take place, Corbin jumped Styles from behind and beat Styles down until Dillinger made the save. Corbin would go on to beat Dillinger by countout a week later and then challenge Styles to a title match at WWE Hell In A Cell, which Styles accepted. Can Styles retain his title or will the self proclaimed Lone Wolf win his first WWE title??

- "WWE Smackdown Live World Tag Team Championship, Hell In A Cell Match": The New Day (c) vs. The Usos: Two months ago at WWE SummerSlam, The Usos defeated The New Day to become the new tag team champions. The Usos went on to defeat The New Day again in a non title match with the winner getting to pick the stipulation for The New Day's tag title rematch. The Usos chose a Las Vegas Street Fight Match for a live episode of Smackdown Live. The New Day went on to defeat The Usos in the Las Vegas Street Fight Match to win back the tag team titles. The Usos demanded their rematch for the tag team titles at WWE Hell In A Cell, but The New Day said they'd only do it if they would battle inside the Hell In A Cell. The Usos accepted the challenge, giving us a first time ever that the tag team titles are being defended inside the Hell In A Cell.

- "WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship Match": Nattie Neidhart (c) vs. Charlotte: The feud between these two began when Charlotte was giving an update on her father, Ric Flair, who had just been hospitalized. Nattie interrupted Charlotte, forcing Charlotte to challenge Nattie for a title shot. Becky Lynch, Naomi and Tamina also interrupted and demanded title shots. Smackdown Live GM Daniel Bryan made a Fatal Four Way Match with the winner getting the title shot against Nattie at WWE Hell In A Cell. Charlotte ended up winning the Fatal Four Way Match and earned the shot at the title. Nattie responded to Charlotte's victory by saying that she's glad Ric is feeling better so he can watch his daughter lose at WWE Hell In A Cell. Also lets not forget about Ms. Money In The Bank Carmella, who still has her briefcase and could cash in for a title shot at anytime.

- Bobby Roode vs. Dolph Ziggler: For several weeks Dolph Ziggler has become an impersonator of many past WWE gimmicks, claiming that anyone could play any of them. Ziggler accused the fans of loving dumb gimmicks instead of appreciating a wrestler like himself that could put on a five star match and never needed a gimmick to get over. Bobby Roode, who was just called up from NXT, finally confronted Ziggler. Roode complimented Ziggler's in ring work, but asked Ziggler to prove that he is the best in a match at WWE Hell in a Cell, which Ziggler accepted.

- Randy Orton vs. Rusev: Two months ago at WWE SummerSlam, Randy Orton defeated Rusev in a quick 10 seconds. Rusev went home to Bulgaria and was humiliated by his family and friends for his loss. Rusev returned and with the help of Aiden English, defeated Randy Orton in 10 seconds in a rematch, getting his revenge. Rusev held a celebration for his victory, was given the key to the city of his hometown in Bulgaria by their mayor and Aiden English was there to honor Rusev in song. Orton interrupted the ceremony and delivered an RKO to both English and Rusev, ruining everything. Orton told Rusev that if he was interested than he'd meet him at WWE Hell In A Cell. Rusev accepted the challenge and the match was made official.

- Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin vs. The Hype Bros.: One week before WWE Hell In A Cell, this tag team match was announced for the PreShow. Shelton Benjamin has returned to the WWE and was placed in a tag team with Chad Gable. The Hype Bros. meanwhile have hit a minor losing streak and there appears to be a little bit of tension between Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley. Which tag team will come out on top in this one??

- Tyler Breeze and Fandango return with another edition of The Fashion Files.

Hell In A Cell originally started out as it's own stipulation match, but grew into its own pay per view and highlighted the match as its main attraction. If you can't catch WWE Hell In A Cell, just check out Triple Threat CLE on Monday afternoon and I will have the whole recap of the show for you.

- "WWE Universal Championship, Hell In A Cell Match": Kevin Owens (c) vs. Seth Rollins: The Kevin Owens Show continues to roll on through the RAW roster. Last month at WWE Clash Of Champions, Owens battled and defeated Seth Rollins with the WWE Universal Championship on the line. The feud, however, did not stop there, as Rollins continued to try to get into Owens' head and get a rematch. Owens wasn't having it and refused to grant Rollins a rematch for the championship. RAW GM Mick Foley saw things differently than how Owens saw it and felt Rollins deserved another shot at the champion. Foley made the match official at WWE Hell In A Cell and made the stipulation that the match would take place inside the Hell In A Cell. The main reason is to keep out Owens' best friend, Chris Jericho, from interfering, causing controversy and making it an unfair match. Chris Jericho attempted to defeat Seth Rollins and earn a spot in the match too, making it a triple threat match, however, Jericho came up short as Rollins won the match and kept things one on one with Owens. Can Kevin Owens defeat Seth Rollins and continue to run RAW with the Kevin Owens Show? Will Seth Rollins complete his goal of winning the WWE Universal Championship in his quest to take down the WWE machine piece by piece?

- "WWE United States Championship, Hell In A Cell Match": Roman Reigns (c) vs. Rusev: Roman Reigns and Rusev have been in a heated feud throughout the summer over the WWE United States Championship. Last month at WWE Clash Of Champions, Reigns defeated Rusev to become the new WWE United States Champion. Rusev got his rematch the next night on RAW, however, both men were counted out and it settled nothing. Rusev's wife, Lana, sent a challenge to Reigns to meet Rusev inside the Hell In A Cell structure at WWE Hell In A Cell and defend his title. Reigns ended up brawling with Rusev throughout the arena and then accepted the challenge to battle Rusev one on one inside the Hell In A Cell, with the WWE United States Championship on the line. Can Reigns dominate the Bulgarian Beast and retain the championship? Can Rusev regain the championship and finally get his revenge for Lana?

- "WWE RAW World Tag Team Championship Match": The New Day (c) vs. Sheamus and Cesaro: Last month at Clash Of Champions, The New Day defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to retain the WWE RAW World Tag Team Championship and are now closing in on a close to 450 day title reign. Also at Clash Of Champions, Cesaro and Sheamus had match number seven in their best of seven series to determine who was the better athlete. Their match, however, went to a draw and their was no clear cut winner. Both Sheamus and Cesaro felt that they deserved a title shot for proving that they were the better athlete. RAW GM Mick Foley agreed, but instead of a singles title shot, Foley put both Sheamus and Cesaro together in a tag team and gave them a tag team title shot at WWE Hell In A Cell. Sheamus and Cesaro hated the idea and spent the weeks leading into the pay per view arguing with each other. Can The New Day retain their titles and get closer to becoming the longest reigning champions? A record currently held by Demolition. Can Sheamus and Cesaro put their arguing and complaining with each other aside and win the tag team championship?

- "WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match": TJ Perkins (c) vs. Brian Kendrick: Last month, TJ Perkins won the Cruiserweight Classic tournament and became the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Perkins then went on to successfully retain his title against the veteran Brian Kendrick at Clash Of Champions. Kendrick showed his true colors after the match by giving Perkins a cheap shot after their hand shake. Kendrick challenged and defeated Perkins in a non title rematch the next night on RAW and became the #1 contender to the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Perkins confronted Kendrick and dared him to show up at WWE Hell In A Cell as the Brian Kendrick that is a competitive wrestler and not the Brian Kendrick that takes cheap shots and looks for the easy win. Can Perkins retain his championship and defeat Kendrick? Will Kendrick prove that he is still competitive without taking short cuts to win matches?

- "WWE RAW Women's Championship, Hell In A Cell Match": Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte: Last month at Clash Of Champions, Charlotte defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley in a triple threat match to retain the WWE RAW Women's Championship. Sasha Banks, however, earned a one on one rematch for the title with Charlotte, main eventing an episode of RAW. Sasha defeated Charlotte and became the new WWE RAW Women's Champion for a second time. A week after winning the championship, Sasha challenged Charlotte to a rematch, but not in a regular one on one title match. Sasha dared Charlotte to make history with Sasha, as Sasha agreed to give Charlotte a title rematch inside the Hell In A Cell structure, the first in women's division history. Charlotte accepted the challenge and RAW GM Mick Foley made it official for WWE Hell In A Cell. Can Sasha defeat Charlotte inside the cell, now that she won't have to worry about Charlotte's protege Dana Brooke interfering? Can Charlotte defeat Sasha alone in the cell and regain the WWE RAW Women's Championship for a third time?

- Enzo and Big Cass vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson: Back in the beginning of October, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson made it their mission to take the fun out of the RAW Tag Team Division. The Club started this mission by attacking and beating down and unsuspecting Enzo and Big Cass on an episode of RAW. The following week, Big Cass got a little bit of revenge on The Club as he defeated Karl Anderson in a one on one match. The week after that, Enzo got his revenge too as he also defeated Karl Anderson in a one on one match, with some help from Big Cass. The week before WWE Hell In A Cell, this tag team match was made official for the event. Can Enzo and Big Cass continue their great luck against The Club and pick up another victory? Will The Club finally defeat Enzo and Big Cass and continue to take apart all that is fun in the RAW Tag Team Division?

- Bayley vs. Dana Brooke: This feud began last month, as Bayley was supporting Sasha Banks and Dana Brooke was supporting Charlotte in their WWE RAW Women's Championship feud. Dana attempted to impress her mentor Charlotte and chose to begin to pick at Bayley, which Bayley refused to stand for. Bayley and Dana met in a one on one match where Dana targeted and injured Bayley's shoulder. Like a shark smelling blood, Dana granted Bayley a rematch on RAW, but made it an arm wrestling match and Bayley had to use her arm with her shoulder injury. Dana easily defeated Bayley, but then granted Bayley redemption by allowing her to use her good arm. Before Bayley could defeat Dana, Dana landed a cheap shot and beat down Bayley. Bayley returned fire and hit Bayley To Belly on Dana, chasing Dana from the ring. This match was made official for WWE Hell In A Cell, as both NXT recruits look to make a name for themselves on the RAW roster.
