Ever since the brand split, WWE has tried to push Braun Strowman by having the colossal star squash local competitors. Unfortunately, the only person who's gotten anything out of the bargain is James Ellsworth, a Strowman victim who's become a fan favorite and a regular part of Smackdown.

Still, the Strowman squashes continued for months, with the former Wyatt Family member announcing that he wanted some real competition. Finally, this week on Raw, he seemed to get it. Perpetual underdog Sami Zayn came out to the ring to stand up to Strowman, and while the larger man got the better of a scuffle, he only left the former NXT Champion down, not out. A battle between the two men is brewing.

Could we see that match added to the Hell in a Cell show? It's doubtful. They've only just started the program, and the fact that there are already seven bouts scheduled for the PPV proper makes it seem unlikely that we'll see anything more than what's been advertised.
