Tomorrow night will mark the return of the infamous steel structure known as the Hell in a Cell in the WWE. This is going to be the ninth event under the Hell in a Cell PPV chronology. All the championships present on the Smackdown brand will be on the line whereas the main event will feature Kevin Owens against the commissioner of the brand, Shane McMahon.
This will be the first time that the blue brand will be hosting the PPV. The show will be hosted by the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The show is an exclusive one to the WWE Network which is why no live telecast will be available on Indian television. The only way to catch the live streaming is to subscribe to the WWE Network.
Check out the full match card of the evening with predictions:
Dolph Ziggler vs. Bobby Roode
Prediction: This is going to be the first-ever PPV match for Bobby Roode after coming to the man roster. So, it’s almost certain that he would pick up the victory over Ziggler to solidify his spot. The show-off has taken his tantrums to an unbearable level and that has to stop with this match as his contract is set to expire, as well.
Rusev vs. Randy Orton
Prediction: Randy Orton has all the momentums by his side as seen on Smackdown Live. But, as per the theory book, this is a set up to digest a loss. He has nothing to prove whereas Rusev has to pick up the win to earn the respect back as a heel. So, the Bulgarian Brute is the favorite one to come out as the winner.
AJ Styles vs. Baron Corbin (United States Championship match)
Prediction: Baron Corbin does not have any sort of momentums on his side and suffered multiple insults on Smackdown. This suggests that he might not be done with the backstage heat that is carrying on prior to Summerslam. So, AJ Styles will benefit from that and will retain the championship.

The New Day vs. The Usos (Smackdown tag team championship match inside Hell in a Cell)
Prediction: This will be for the first-time ever that the tag team title will be on the line inside the Hell in a Cell structure. These two veteran teams will tear each other apart delivering yet another blockbuster match. This will also conclude their stretched rivalry in which the champions will retain.
Natalya vs. Charlotte Flair (Smackdown Women’s Championship match)
Prediction: As per the happening on the recent shows, Natalya is literally dominating the women’s division and also made her challenger tap out this week. This would make Charlotte desperate to claim her throne back as the title-holder. Nattie cannot expect a long title run at this age. So, we will see a new champion crowning.
Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE Championship match)
Prediction: Jinder Mahal is scheduled to appear in India, next week with the Singh Brothers. This solidifies the fact that he will be coming with his title intact on his shoulder. If Nakamura does win at Hell in a Cell then it will be a set up for the rematch in India in December. But, the majority of chances are, Jinder will retain via distractions thrown by his partners-in-crime.

Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens (Hell in a Cell match)
Prediction: Being a Falls Count Anywhere match, we can expect more than one mark-out moments during the contest. The fight will be taken to the backstage area, at some point. Plus, a number of swerves are expected including Stephanie McMahon or Sami Zayn’s involvement. The latter one is expected to turn into a heel costing the commissioner the matchup. Owens is almost confirmed to win the main event bout via some sort of interferences.
