WWE Hell In A Cell 2018: 10 Shocking Things That Could Happen

3. Braun Strowman Ends Roman's Reign

That WWE Title change will only happen if Braun Strowman isn't pencilled in to become the new Universal Champion at HIAC; it'd be rare for WWE to write two World Title switches on a 'B' level pay-per-view, and even more shocking considering Roman Reigns only won his last month at SummerSlam.

Therein lies the impact of such a surprise.

Strowman's confidence has been unerring since he informed Reigns face-to-face of his intentions to cash in Money In The Bank by winning the title at Hell in a Cell. Since then, he's formed a powerful partnership with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, and he's reverted to the monster heel character Roman feuded with before throughout 2017.

The main reason to doubt this one (aside from the aforementioned double change, should Samoa Joe capture AJ Styles' WWE Title) is, again, Reigns' recent win over Brock Lesnar. Still, it's true that WWE do like pulling the rug from underneath Roman when he looks made, mainly because they feel it'll make him a sympathetic figure to fans.
