Friday's 'go home' edition of SmackDown before Hell In A Cell might not be as stacked as recent episodes, but WWE have already announced two segments for the program.

First, they're teasing that Bayley will finally sign the contract for Sunday's HIAC bout opposite old pal Sasha Banks. The reigning SmackDown Women's Champ neglected to put pen to paper on the deal last week; it's worth noting that Banks promised Bayley would sign "one way or another". Expect violence this week then.

The other skit being promised is a "final message" from Roman Reigns before his own Universal Title Cell match with cousin Jey Uso. WWE has already added an 'I Quit' stipulation to that situation, and Reigns has spoken about dire consequences for Jey post-HIAC, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly what else they can do to beef out the showdown.

More hugs and more condescending heel goodness from Roman, perhaps?

WWE are leaving it pretty late to round out the Hell In A Cell card. Post-Raw, they'd only announced four matches for the pay-per-view. Obviously, others are coming before Sunday, and may even be revealed before SmackDown.
