WWE Raw made the main event predictions true for Hell in a Cell. Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship for the second time against Braun Strowman. The host venue in San Antonio, Texas has already advertised this match for ticket selling. Now we learned the same on last night’s WWE Raw from a storyline perspective. WWE confirmed the marquee match to fire up the jam-packed crowd of Toronto.
Roman Reigns kicked off the night addressing The Shield reunion from last week. They beat up Braun Strowman in a never-before-seen way by putting through the commentary table. The Big Dog was proud to defend the Universal Championship in back-to-back shows prior to Hell in a Cell. He has no problems to confront The Monster among Men on WWE Raw.
So he wasted a little time to call out Braun Strowman who arrived with a blockbuster news. As mentioned by him earlier, the Money in the Bank contract holder denied to cash it in from the back. So he confirmed that it will not happen in Toronto. Rather, he chose San Antonio to let it happen.
Braun Strowman did not believe in The Shield. They could run down at any point to ruin his opportunity in Toronto. But the Hell in a Cell structure would prevent the faction from doing so. He handed away the briefcase to the acting GM of WWE Raw for a confirmation of the Universal Championship match.
WWE.com later confirmed that Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman will take place at Hell in a Cell. The match will take place inside the infamous steel structure. Check out the official updates from the website,
“Strowman has opted to trade in his Money in the Bank contract for a Universal Title Match inside Hell in a Cell at the pay-per-view of the same name. With fierce champion and ferocious challenger each completely surrounded by the unforgiving steel structure. Find out who will emerge with the Universal Championship at WWE Hell in a Cell, Sunday, Sept. 16, at 7 ET/4 PT, streaming live on the WWE Network.”
Braun Strowman also received payback against Roman Reigns by the end of WWE Raw. He ganged up with Ziggler and McIntyre to lay waste to all the three members of The Shield. The former IC Champ and his psychopath friend took care of Rollins and Ambrose. Meanwhile, Mr. MITB delivered a Running Powerslam to the Universal Champion to close the show.
