Welcome to Hell in a Cell in June! WWE has shuffled around their pay-per-view schedule to make Money in the Bank the first show with fans back in the arena. To accommodate that, they’ve moved up their October spectacular to the middle of summer. The show is light on matches with only six on the card. One had been announced previously but took place instead on this past SmackDown, with Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio inside Hell in a Cell.
Still the show goes on with two Hell in a Cell matches on the card. Evan & Javier from Crossbody of Work are here to predict the matches. Who will win? Here are our predictions for the show:
Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens
Evan: These two are truly destined to do this forever. Let’s say Zayn gets his Wrestlemania loss back here via some sort of shenanigans. Also look at that photo of Zayn and tell me how I’m supposed to cheer against that man.
Pick – Sami Zayn
Javier: I don’t know what happens here, but I think we’re teetering towards an Owens heel turn. This will be the match of the night and I can watch these two fight forever, but I’m curious to see what comes next for both guys. Steen/Generico will never truly die.
Pick – Sami Zayn
Seth Rollins vs Cesaro
Evan: Logic says that Cesaro should win to get his mojo back after losing his Universal Championship shot. WWE doesn’t love logic, they love drip. Rollins will get the win here.
Pick – Seth Rollins
Javier: You can’t give Cesaro the big win at Wrestlemania and a championship match loss and follow it up by losing to the guy he beat clean at Wrestlemania. The Drip God has been awesome to watch, but he’s getting put down by the Swing God. (I recognize that this was awful)
Pick – Cesaro
Alexa Bliss vs Shayna Baszler
Evan: I really, truly want to see The Fiend return to cost Bliss in this match. WWE likely isn’t going out to bring Wyatt back until fans are back in the arena. If that’s the case, Bliss and her Chucky doll win here.
Pick – Alexa Bliss
Javier: Shayna Baszler could’ve been so amazing on the main roster. Her run in NXT was gold and since the call-up, it’s been a rapid decline. Now she has to lose to the weird chick playing with a doll and wearing too much makeup. I give up.
Pick – Alexa Bliss
Rhea Ripley (c) vs Charlotte Flair – Raw Women’s Championship Match
Evan: You know what WWE loves more than they hate logic? Having Charlotte as champion. This is my riskiest pick of the bunch, but it’s based on facts. WWE loves having Charlotte be champion. Let’s bank on that again.
Pick – Charlotte Flair
Javier: You cannot give Rhea the big moment and have her drop the title to Charlotte. Ideally, I think there will be some sort of screwy finish, but I’m predicting Ripley walks out as champion, however that may be.
Pick – Rhea Ripley
Bianca Belair (c) vs Bayley – SmackDown Women’s Championship Hell in a Cell Match
Evan: I am very excited for this match. Bayley is a great foil for Belair, and I’m excited to see what they can do inside the cell. I’m taking Belair to retain, and I don’t see her dropping it for a long time.
Pick – Bianca Belair
Javier: I don’t know anything going on in this feud since their last match, but I’m just going to say Belair wins and hopefully moves on to a different challenger. Who? No idea.
Pick – Bianca Belair
Bobby Lashley (c) vs Drew McIntyre – Last Chance WWE Championship Hell in a Cell Match
Evan: I am very, very excited for Lashley to move on to another contender. McIntyre has had more than his fair share of shots at the belt he lost, so let’s have someone new step up. I would’ve loved to see Kofi Kingston get a shot, but that doesn’t seem to be where his story is going. Who could that next person be?
Pick – Bobby Lashley
Javier: While I have no idea what would be next for either man, I know that this feud needs to end. That only happens if Lashley wins, so Lashley must win. He doesn’t have an obvious challenger after this, but hopefully they can get something figured out come SummerSlam.
Pick – Bobby Lashley
