10 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE Hell In A Cell 2020
The road to hell is paved with odd booking...
The gates of hell are about to open as the superstars of Raw and SmackDown are set to make their annual trip to the fiery depths at the 12th annual Hell In A Cell PPV.
This year's edition will see Drew McIntyre defend his WWE Championship against long-standing rival Randy Orton inside the confines of Hell In A Cell itself. Meanwhile, Universal Champion Roman Reigns will also step into the Devil's Playground to take on his cousin Jey Uso in an "I Quit" variation of the legendary stipatulion, and months upon months of planning will finally come to a head as Sasha Banks and Bayley will meet in the structure for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
All eyes will undoubtedly be on the ThunderDome on Sunday night but at this stage it's hard to know what to expect. While weekly programming has suffered as of late, the company has pulled off three reasonably solid PPVs in a row. Can they do it again with Hell In A Cell? After last year's debacle (and this week's episode of Raw), that could be easier said than done.
Naturally, we have concerns...
10. Only Four Matches Have Been Announced
The Go-Home edition of Raw was divisive (to say the least), but it would have been a lot more bearable had any of what happened actually benefited the upcoming PPV. Other than Jeff Hardy and Elias' confrontation - which set up a match between the two at Hell In A Cell - there was little progress as the red brand made its final stop on the road to hell.
As it stands, there are only four matches on the Hell In A Cell card - one of which was only added on that very episode of Raw. This means that one of two things is going to happen in the coming week and, quite frankly, neither of them are good.
We could see an incredibly SmackDown-heavy PPV - which sounds nice in theory but would result in a ton of last-minute additions to the card - or we could see further Raw matches added during the week, meaning that the final episode ahead of the event was nothing more than a waste of time. Fantastic planning there, WWE.
As for the last-minute additions...
