Fans of the first two matches between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will get their trilogy next month at Hell in a Cell. And yes, that third match will take place inside the demonic structure.

Rhodes delivered a promo Monday night talking about how he and Rollins had diverging paths in WWE from 2012 to 2015, with Seth being part of The Shield, dominating the company and capturing gold. At WrestleMania 31, Rollins cracked the glass ceiling and won the world title, an accomplishment Rhodes has yet to achieve.

Cody, meanwhile toiled away in the midcard, losing more often than winning, and finally being shunted into a comedy gimmick as Stardust and losing on WWE's C-level shows. But Rhodes noted Monday night, he endured, persevered and reinvented himself. He knew he'd never be the American Dream (like his father), so why not embrace the nightmare?

At this point, Cody noted that this was his second chance, and Rollins was going to have to kill him to derail that opportunity. So in keeping with that spirit, Rhodes challenged Rollins to a Hell in a Cell match to settle it all. Seth popped up on the screen, cackling and finally accepting the challenge.

Rhodes and Rollins' WrestleMania Backlash match built on their Mania bout, so hopefully, they'll do the same at Hell in a Cell, and this won't just be a plunder match. Given the participants, it's highly doubtful. Buckle up for this one, it could be a really good one.
