5 HUGE WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

Will WWE's strategy of saving everything for Sunday save the show?

By Michael Hamflett /

Hell In A Cell 2019’s catastrophic finale was as disastrous a night for the structure as it was the wrestlers themselves.

Every line spoken or penned on the show's pathetically tragic main event sounded hyperbolic to all apart from those that actually sat through it. Was it possibly as bad as people said? Was Seth Rollins’ struggling title reign really finally f*cked? Was Bray Wyatt’s brand new (and super-over) gimmick as dead as his old one?

Yes, yes and yes, and the Cell was seemingly done for too. The second Hell In A Cell headliner in a row to end inconclusively had played out even worse than the disastrous first, leading many external observers to question if the show could ever come back. Internally, this was clearly never in doubt.

As of the Thursday before Sunday's show, only four matches were confirmed for the pay-per-view, with three of set to take place in the eponymous structure. One with a stipulation, all of them for the most prestigious titles in the company, but all facing the pressure of trying to fix what feels broken.

Can they do it? And if so, can they help craft a surprise package of a show that feels entirely reliant on them being a success?

5. Jeff Hardy Vs. Elias

The daft premise for this story notwithstanding, Jeff Hardy and Elias could have a perfectly passable match on Sunday's supershow.

But will they?

That distinctive Kickoff-y scent isn't just because theirs was the first match to be announced that wouldn't take place inside the giant red cage. Elias has yet to consistently prove himself a particularly entertaining wrestler, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to figure out where Jeff Hardy fits in in present day WWE.

Is he the 'Charismatic Enigma' that helped light up Clash Of Champions with that that incredible triple threat ladder match alongside AJ Styles and Sami Zayn? Or is he simply the curio noodling away in the midcard and on Elias' spare guitars?

Whichever Jeff turns up at Hell In A Cell, he's most likely going to have to look at the ThunderDome lights. Elias is relatively fresh off getting mowed down by a car Hardy very obviously wasn't driving, and WWE's pattern booking gives him the victory here if only to vindicate that idiotic belief a little bit longer.

Winner - Elias
