WWE Hell In A Cell PPV: Cena/Orton Winner Faces Lesnar

Seven matches announced for Hell in a Cell, plus a stipulation on a big match.

This week's edition of WWE Monday Night Raw was the last episode before Sunday's Hell in a Cell PPV. New matches were announced to give seven total matches for the PPV at this point while the Kickoff Show has a special event too. Here's a rundown of everything we know so far. They spent most of Raw pushing the idea that there will be a double main event at Hell in a Cell with two matches inside of the actual cell. We knew that going in, but we don't know what match is going to go on last at this point. John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell Match - It's a match we've seen many times before and they even had a HIAC match five years ago. They can talk all they want about this being the match to prove who's better once and for all, but they were doing promos like that last year. The big stipulation added to the match is that the winner gets to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. They didn't say when. It could be Survivor Series if WWE can get Lesnar to work the show, but it may be all the way at the Royal Rumble. Cena won his last match against Lesnar at Night of Champions by DQ, so really he shouldn't need to win a match to get a shot. Then again, he lost to Ambrose last week and now he's in a #1 Contender's match while Ambrose is not. Makes sense? Not really, but that's WWE booking for you. Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell Match - This is the match most fans want to see go on last. It might not just because of how much WWE loves the Cena/Orton rivalry. Ambrose/Rollins is definitely the best rivalry going into the PPV. Big Show vs. Rusev - We've seen it a few times before. We're going to see it again as Big Show tries to defend America against the evil Russian. US Title: Sheamus vs. The Miz - Even though Miz lost the IC Title to Dolph Ziggler, he gets to contend for the other singles title. He's beat Sheamus a few times in the last month although on Raw it was Damien Mizdow that did it. Tag Team Titles: Goldust & Stardust vs. The Usos - This is the rematch from Night of Champions. Divas Title: AJ Lee vs. Paige - There have been four title changes between them since April. Paige gets her rematch after losing the title at Night of Champions. Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella - There's a stipulation on this one. Here's how it's described on WWE.com: "The loser must work as the winner€™s personal Bella assistant! And if the loser doesn€™t fulfill her duties as personal assistant, she will have to quit WWE!" Hopefully that doesn't mean poorly acted Bella Twin segments. The fans are the losers in that instance. On the Kickoff Show, Damien Mizdow will host "Mizdow TV" with his guest The Miz. The Mizdow thing has been a lot of fun, but WWE is starting to overdo it at this point. That's what usually happens. As long as it leads to Sandow becoming a bigger star as a babyface then it's worthwhile. It was also announced that Paul Heyman will be a part of the PPV panel to talk about the show because they have nothing else for him to do with Brock Lesnar not wrestling. It's very possible that Dolph Ziggler vs. Cesaro for the IC Title could be added to the lineup too. That would be eight matches, which has been the standard this year. Stay with us for further updates on the Hell in a Cell PPV and also a preview later in the week.
