Predicting EVERYTHING That Will Happen On This Crazy Week Of Wrestling

2. Hell In A Cell Exceeds Every Expectation

That a WWE pay-per-view feels like one of the least important wrestling shows of the week speaks to how insane things are about to be over the next seven days. AEW Dynamite's launch, NXT's pseudo-TakeOver, and the Wednesday Night War pitting both shows against each, plus SmackDown's FOX debut, have almost rendered Hell In A Cell 2019 afterthought.

Only three matches have been confirmed at the time of writing: Bray Wyatt vs. Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks, and Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns vs. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. We're almost certainly getting Charlotte Flair vs. Bayley as well. All of these sound awesome on paper.

While there could end up being a lot of filler on this show, we're backing WWE to knock it out of the park. Vince McMahon's pay-per-views are rarely anything less than "good" these days and the company often soar when expectations are low, with Extreme Rules 2019 and its lacklustre build the perfect example, and with increased competition looming and a huge week of television in the rearview, they could see this as the perfect exclamation point. Here's hoping.
