Hell In A Cell 2016 is only the second pay-per-view exclusive to Monday Night Raw since the latest brand split this past July. The first, Clash Of Champions, was a show notable for Kevin Owens defending his newly-won WWE Universal Title against Seth Rollins. Come Sunday, the pair go at it again, this time inside the titular Cell.

They're not alone, the show will feature two other Hell In A Cell encounters. Roman Reigns defends the WWE United States Title against Rusev and Charlotte Flair battles Sasha Banks for the Raw Women's Title. As this is the first time women have stepped foot inside the structure for a match, most eyes are on that one.

Following Hell In A Cell, the next pay-per-view on the agenda is a multi-brand affair. Survivor Series will also feature stars from SmackDown, so it's really imperative that WWE get things right for the Raw supershow and follow on from Clash Of Champions.

In order for the show to be a success, certain things simply must happen. The order of the card itself is important, and WWE really have to make the right decisions when it comes to the titles that are up for grabs on the show.

Let's look at what has to go down in Boston...

10. The Cruiserweights Are Allowed To Go All Out On The Kickoff Show

Before a Cruiserweight 6-man tag-team bout was announced, it seemed like either Bayley vs. Dana Brooke or maybe even Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn would feature on the Kickoff show. Now, it's been established that the team of Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado and Sin Cara will take on Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari before Hell In A Cell properly gets underway.

This is a smart way to pump up the live crowd, especially if the Cruiserweights are given ample time to show what they can do. At least 10 minutes is required for this one, and the sextet have to go all out with no restrictions.

Ideally, this opener on the Kickoff show will be something of an exhibition for the men involved. A name like Sin Cara really needs his run in the Cruiserweight division to be a success, so it's important that he's allowed to shine here.

Psychology be damned in this one, the 6 men out there must go balls-to-the-wall with a frantic pace. They are there to set the tone for the coming pay-per-view after all.
