WWE Hell In A Cell 2021: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
Shayna Baszler gets possessed, unwanted turns, splits and more WWE Hell In A Cell nightmares.
Could "Hell" ring true at Hell In A Cell?
It's always possible. Even the promotion's best stories only ever seem to be one or two dodgy creative decisions away from misery - that's just a fact of life. One booking idea, misdirection or match result can change everything, and things are no different heading into Sunday's pay-per-view.
WWE hasn't fully-fleshed out the card at time of writing, but don't be shocked to see another match or two join the five that have already been confirmed to date. The most worrying thing? Those unnamed additions could actually contribute to the pain this weekend. Yes, that's rather negative. No, positivity doesn't belong here.
These are HIAC nightmares, after all.
So, will fans chew their fingernails at the prospect of unwanted turns in the WWE Title picture? How about hair-raising championship switches that wreck the rise of new division leaders? Or, maybe WWE fancy prolonging your agony in one of Raw's worst feuds.
As if that's not enough, Hell In A Cell could include possession, 'Eva-lution', the destruction of SmackDown's tag ranks, splits nobody wants to see and more.
10. Charlotte Flair Wrecks Rhea Ripley’s Rise
Uh oh.
That's what this fan was thinking when Rhea Ripley smashed Charlotte Flair with 'Riptide' on Raw and then stood over her with the Raw Women's Title. OK, so WWE programmed a bloody brawl between both women later to even things out, but Ripley got the upper hand on Flair at first and you know what that means.
Usually, it means things will be reversed come the next show. At Hell In A Cell, Charlotte might prove to be Rhea's kryptonite, take the belt from her and force fans to relive their WrestleMania 36 nightmares all over again. If so, then Ripley will be elbowed to the back of the line and look foolish for a second time against Flair.
This would be particularly harrowing because she hasn't really got going on Raw yet. Sure, she's the reigning champ, but red brand writers don't seem to know how to squeeze the best from the one-time NXT stand out, and they might want to cut their losses.
