Hell in a Cell is slated to happen this weekend, and much to the surprise of fans, Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio was moved off the card. Reigns has been the MVP of WWE in recent months (apologies to the actual MVP), and hence, this was a surprising decision indeed.
Fans immediately arrived at the conclusion that this move was made so that the surprises that happen at Hell in a Cell do not get overshadowed. After all, Roman Reigns steals the show with whatever he does, and as a consequence, WWE's twists on the same show would have felt underwhelming.
There's no guarantee that one or more of these swerves will happen at Hell in a Cell this weekend. That said, it could all potentially happen because of how RAW and SmackDown have shaped up before the pay-per-view.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, views, and comments in the space below. Would you like to see one or more of these betrayals? Or would you like WWE to maintain the status quo at Hell in a Cell?
#5 Keith Lee returns at Hell in a Cell to attack Drew McIntyre
Keith Lee and Drew McIntyre had a friendly bout right before Goldberg strode in to challenge the big Scotsman. Imagine what a surprise it would be if Lee made his return at Hell in a Cell to destroy Drew McIntyre. It allows the former WWE Champion to lose to Bobby Lashley and still look strong.
Keith Lee is an instantly likable babyface, but he should fare just as well as a heel.
For a Drew McIntyre vs. Keith Lee feud to emerge from this and extend all the way to SummerSlam could be money! The two men have great chemistry and this would be a cool twist.
#4 Reginald breaks away from Nia Jax, hypnotized by Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss faces Shayna Baszler at Hell in a Cell, and one has to assume that Nia Jax and Reginald will be somewhere close by, watching. Imagine the sight of Nia asking Reginald to do her bidding, but a hypnotized Reginald just strides to Alexa Bliss to become her male valet!
Vince McMahon himself is impressed by Reginald, and this is why he may choose to book the sommelier in a powerful spot this weekend. This may not be the biggest betrayal but will surely shake things up on RAW big time!
#3 At Hell in a Cell 2021, Kofi Kingston turns heel
The New Day has done it all. Now, it may be time for both members of the team to go their separate ways, especially after MVP's equally poisonous and inspiring words have percolated deep into their psyche. Could Kofi Kingston turn heel at Hell in a Cell by costing Drew McIntyre his championship opportunity?
This may lead to a Xavier Woods vs. Kofi Kingston feud, as well as a rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston following Hell in a Cell. For Kingston to flex his heel muscles may not be the worst decision at this stage of his career.
#2 Maybe Xavier Woods turns heel at Hell in a Cell instead of his partner
Leading into Hell in a Cell 2021, Xavier Woods has made it clear that he wants to win the King of the Ring tournament. Could Hell in a Cell be where he shows that he's not just another tag team wrestler, but a legitimate star? Can he do this by attacking Drew McIntyre in the big main event match?
Everyone expects Hell in a Cell to be the event where Kofi Kingston turns heel, but Xavier Woods might be the one to flip the script.
#1 Shinsuke Nakamura betrays Cesaro, now armed with his crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. But sometimes, a crown can also make the wearer's head swell with ego and pride.
And this is why Shinsuke Nakamura may decide that he and Rick Boogs need to make a statement at Hell in a Cell following his big SmackDown win. Could he come out to attack Cesaro, cohort in tow, to start a brand new feud? Considering their history, this would be a big shock!
