Hell in a Cell (2018) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and WWE Network event, produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brands. It will take place on September 16, 2018, at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.[1] It will be the tenth event under the Hell in a Cell chronology.

Storylines

The card will feature matches resulting from scripted storylines and have results predetermined by WWE on the Raw and SmackDown brands.[2][3][4] Storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live.[5]

At SummerSlam, The Miz defeated Daniel Bryan after Miz's wife Maryse gave him a pair of brass knuckles that the referee did not see.[6] On the following SmackDown, Miz and Maryse mocked Bryan's retirement speech from two years earlier. Bryan and his wife Brie Bella came out and confronted them. Bryan called Miz a coward for having to cheat to win and said that SmackDown General Manager Paige approved of a mixed tag team match between Bryan and Brie and Miz and Maryse at Hell in a Cell.[7]

At SummerSlam, during the WWE Championship match between Samoa Joe and defending champion AJ Styles, Joe taunted Styles by disrespecting his wife and daughter, who were in attendance. An irate Styles attacked Joe with a steel chair, resulting in Joe winning by disqualification, but Styles retaining the title.[6] On the following SmackDown, Joe attacked Styles from behind during an interview, and continued to disrespect Styles' family.[7] On August 24, a rematch between the two for the title was scheduled for Hell in a Cell.[8]

On the August 21 episode of SmackDown, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) defeated The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) in a No Disqualification match to capture their third SmackDown Tag Team Championship.[7] On August 26, Paige scheduled two triple threat matches, with the winners facing each other to determine who would face The New Day for the titles at Hell in a Cell. Cesaro and Sheamus won the first triple threat match by defeating Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and The Colóns (Primo and Epico) on the August 28 episode of SmackDown. The second triple threat match between The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), Rusev and Aiden English, and Sanity (Eric Young, Killian Dain, and/or Alexander Wolfe) was scheduled for the September 4 episode of SmackDown. The September 11 episode of SmackDown will feature the winners of each triple threat match facing each other to determine the number one contenders.[9]

At SummerSlam, Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship. Before the match began, Money in the Bank contract winner Braun Strowman came out and declared that he would be cashing-in on the winner of the match and stayed at ringside. Strowman, however, was incapacitated by Lesnar during the match, preventing him from cashing in; this distraction allowed Reigns to defeat Lesnar to win the championship.[6] The next night on Raw, Strowman once again attempted to cash-in after Reigns successfully defended the title against Finn Bálor, but was stopped by Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins coming to the aid of Reigns, reforming The Shield.[10] The following week, Strowman confronted Reigns and announced that he would be cashing-in at Hell in a Cell inside the namesake structure so that Ambrose and Rollins could not interfere.[11]

At SummerSlam, Ronda Rousey defeated Alexa Bliss to win the Raw Women's Championship.[6] On the August 27 episode of Raw, Bliss announced that she would be invoking her championship rematch clause at Hell in a Cell.[11]

At Backlash, Jeff Hardy retained the United States Championship against Randy Orton.[12] At Extreme Rules, after Hardy lost the United States Championship to Shinsuke Nakamura, Orton made his return to the WWE and attacked Hardy.[13] Two days later on the July 17 episode of SmackDown, Hardy had a rematch with Nakamura, but it ended in a draw after Orton attacked Hardy. The following week, Orton explained his attacks on Hardy by stating that he felt disrespected by the WWE Universe and hated how they were supportive of superstars like Hardy. The next week, Orton launched a third attack on Hardy with aidance from Nakamura. Hardy invoked his rematch clause at SummerSlam, and would once again fail to regain the title. After the match, Orton came out while Hardy was incapacitated in the ring, only to turn back and walk away.[6] The following SmackDown on August 21, Orton and Hardy had a match that ended in disqualification after Hardy low-blowed Orton. Hardy then proceeded to attack Orton all around the arena and eventually spread in the crowd area. Hardy then executed a Swanton Bomb on Orton off the balcony through a table. On the August 28 episode of SmackDown, Hardy challenged Orton to a Hell in a Cell match at the namesake event, which Orton accepted.[9]
