How WWE Should Book Hell In A Cell 2019

 

How WWE Should Book Hell In

 

A Cell 2019

Hey everyone! Ever since Night Of Champions 2015, through multiple accounts, every month before major WWE pay-per-views, I’ve come on here and booked the cards to make them as exciting, intriguing, and best possible scenarios for the future. I do both NXT and main-roster pay-per-views, as well as the occasional big milestone RAW or Smackdown weekly show. Without further ado, here is how Hell In A Cell 2019 should be booked!

KICKOFF-SHOW

·         We get the usual kickoff panel of Jonathan Coachman, Charly Caruso, Sam Roberts and Beth Phoenix. Throughout the hour, the panel runs down the match card giving their predictions, hyping up the matches and showing us video packages. About halfway through the hour, we get to our match.

 

KICKOFF MATCH: Bobby Lashley (w/ Lana) vs. Rusev (Singles match)

 

·         Rusev is out first followed by Lashley and Lana, who make their entrance down the ramp filming for Brazzers. The match goes about 8 minutes. This feud is still young, so you don’t want them going too long and you don’t wanna give away EVERYTHING that they can do together between the ropes yet, but you also need to fill some more matches for this show, so this would be fine for the preshow. Don’t worry dear reader, you’ll be okay. This isn’t the most important feud in the company. The match ends when Rusev and Lashley are exchanging strikes in the ring and Rusev sends them both to the outside with a Cactus Clothesline. Rusev is intent on beating the hell out of Bobby, and he reaches under the ring apron to unveil a Steel Chair! Lashley stumbles to his feet and grabs Lana, trying to get away. Rusev snaps and nails Lashley in the head with the chair WHO THEN FALLS BACKWARDS INTO LANA, KNOCKING HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS. Lana is now unconscious and the ref calls for the bell and we get a Double DQ for Rusev because he used a weapon, and for Lashley because he, although inadvertently, made violent physical contact with a woman. And I’m not talking about sex.

 

Bobby Lashley vs. Rusev ended in a Double Disqualification

·         We go back to the panel and they give their final predictions for the main event matches of the night. Coach signs us off and we get to the main show.

MAIN-SHOW

·       

 We get our usually devilish, spOokY opening HIAC PPV video package. 93,845 TRILLION POUNDS OF STEEL…. IT'S THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND.... or whatever. 4 MATCHES being advertised for this show currently. Unheard of. I’ve got some great ideas with new matches and segments to fill up some more time. Keep reading on. We get the opening wide shot and we see the cell towering over the arena, and it begins to lower down with the music and lights for our first match.

 

1ST MATCH: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sasha Banks (Hell In A Cell match for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship)

·         Because it’s the WWE formula, we must have one of cell matches kick off and one of them main event. Had Rollins been wrestling anyone other than The Fiend, I would’ve had this one go last, but The Fiend is too big a star to not be in the main event. It’s where he needs to be right now. It wouldn’t be in the nature of his gimmick to “kick off” a card. That being said, we’re talking about the Women here. Sasha is out first followed by The MAN Becky Lynch. We get formal ring introductions and the match goes around 24 minutes. As you read on, you’ll realize that this is the longest match of the entire show, and if done too often, this can be a bad idea, but in this case it fits because these two want to beat each other to a bloody pulp and get the crowd hot early. Some major spots in the match are as follows:

·         Becky and Sasha tackle each other through the padlocked door of the cell

·         After the door is burst open, Sasha rolls into the ring and goes for a Suicide Dive to Becky who is standing in the doorway, but Becky SLAMS THE DOOR INTO SASHA’S FACE MID-AIR.

·         Becky locks in a brutal Disarmher on Sasha through one of the holes in the Cell wall on the outside

The match ends with a series of reversal out of each other’s submissions. Becky locks in the Disarmher, Sasha rolls over into the Bank Statement, and repeat. Sasha has had it after a few seconds of this and she grabs a Kendo Stick near her lying on the mat and locks it in a KENDO STICK Bank Statement with all the added torque of the modern version of the move. Becky manages to get to the ropes but Sasha pulls her back into the middle of the ring, where Becky taps out. Don’t forget that this is for the RAW Women’s Title, and you know FOX are gonna be wanting Becky on SmackDown. She’s the company’s biggest female star (while Ronda Rousey is away makin’ babies). Sasha has been excellent since her return and it would hurt her big time if she failed to win the title here again. Sasha is the face of RAW women, and you could build a title program with Becky and Bayley on SmackDown after Survivor Series, the only combination of the 4HW that have not yet wrestled on PPV. I have a vision surrounding the Boss ‘N Hug Connection team for the next few months which I will detail later in this post, in the Bayley/Charlotte match. For now, we have a new RAW Women’s Champ: The BOSS.

WINNER by SUBMISSION and NEW WWE RAW Women’s Championship: Sasha Banks

 

·         We get an ad for NXT on the USA Network, followed by a backstage interview with Charlotte Flair, who cuts a promo vowing to become CHARL10TTE by defeating Bayley later.

 

2ND MATCH: Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns vs. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper (Tag Team match)

·         The Bludgeon Bros 2.0 are out first followed by Roman Reigns and finally Daniel Bryan, who both walk down the ramp together. The match goes 17 minutes. This storyline has only gotten more confusing since the last time I called it the most confusing storyline in WWE; even if Bryan does end up turning here and we do end up getting the Bryan vs. Roman match to close out this angle once and for all, I’m not even really sure that most people would want to see it anymore because of how little sense it would make with everything that’s happened. Nonetheless, Reigns has eaten more pins this year from guys like Rowan and Shane McMahon than he has pretty much since the Shield split up for the first time. The match ends after all 4 men are brawling in the ring, and Harper and Rowan both whip Bryan and Reigns into the ropes. The Bludgeons swing at them and try to fold them in half with clotheslines but both men duck and BRYAN HITS A RUNNING KNEE ON HARPER IN SYNC WITH REIGNS NAILING A SPEAR ON ROWAN. Rowan rolls out of the ring and Bryan gets the pin on Harper for the big victory. Rowan has already beat Bryan and Reigns both clean countless times and it’s surely time for the babyfaces to get the upper hand in this feud. It’s a mega-powers team, two of your biggest male stars in the entire wrestling world. The BEARED BIG DOGS oughta get the win here. Where this storyline goes from here, I'm unsure, but all I know is that this result feels right and that I want both these guys back in the World Title scene sooner rather than later.

WINNERS by PINFALL: Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns

 

·         We get an ad for Tapout.

 

SEGMENT: Live Firefly Funhouse with Bray Wyatt!

·         We get the graphic and theme song for the Firefly Funhouse, and we go to the set which appears as normal, but we then zoom out and see that Bray has brought the Funhouse to Hell In A Cell for a special live performance for all his loyal fireflies! Bray does his usual antics, Rambling Rabbit probably ends up dying for a 35th time, but Bray ends the segment with his new tagline, “SEE YOU IN HELL!”. Bray waves goodbye and the camera zooms in on his face but out of nowhere, SETH ROLLINS RUNS IN WITH A SUPERKICK TO FUNHOUSE BRAY WYATT. Rollins destroys the set and lays in the punches to a downed Wyatt. Bray doesn’t fight back one bit as this is the non-evil version of him, but as Rollins prepares to hit a Curb Stomp onto Huskus The Pig, THE LIGHTS GO OUT and The Fiend noises play. The lights return and the whole Firefly Funhouse setup, and BRAY HIMSELF, are all gone.

 

·         We get an ad for Crown Jewel 2 at the end of the month.

 

3RD MATCH: Bayley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair (Singles match for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship)

·         Bayley is out first followed by Charlotte. We get formal ring introductions and the match goes around 16 minutes. I really did not like how their COC match was handled. The execution was not very smooth at all. Hopefully here they get a good amount of time to show what the fuck they can really do. I don’t have much to say about the match itself other than that the match ends with Bayley down on the mat and Charlotte calling for a Natural Selection, she goes to hit the move, but Bayley SWEEPS THE LEG AND NAILS A BACKSTABBER INTO A BANK STATEMENT WHICH TAPS OUT CHARLOTTE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. About that vision I mentioned earlier in this post- Sasha Banks as RAW Women’s Champion. Bayley as SmackDown Women’s Champion. BOTH OF THEM as the Women’s Tag Team Champions. Boss ‘N Hug rule the division with ALL the gold. You couldn’t do this for too long, since there ARE other women in the company, but it would last leading just past Survivor Series, where we would ALSO FINALLY get a Sasha vs. Bayley singles match on PPV. This is a win-win situation for everybody involved. And after that, like I said, we could have a Becky/Bayley program where Becky could take the title off Bayley, and things would go back to normal. There is only great television to come out of this. Trust me.

 

WINNER by SUBMISSION and STILL WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion: Bayley

 

·         We go to the announcers who thank the artist of the official theme song of the PPV. The announcers then begin addressing the upcoming WWE Draft, when all of a sudden, BIG E IS HEARD OVER THE MICROPHONE AND HE WALKS OUT ON STAGE, DOWN THE RAMP, AND INTO THE RING. E talks about Brock Lesnar’s victory over Kofi on SmackDown, and goes on to cut a heartfelt promo about Kofi and The New Day’s journey to that point. Big E explains that Woods isn’t out there with him because he is staying by Kofi’s side as he gets evaluated for a minor (Kayfabe_ injury suffered from the F-5 that Lesnar delivered, and says that he wants to get the title back for his brothers and CHALLENGES LESNAR TO A MATCH RIGHT THEN AND THERE. ALL BY HIMSELF. Lesnar’s music hits, he walks out with Paul Heyman by his side AND WE HAVE OURSELVES A WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH.

4TH MATCH: Brock Lesnar (c) (w/ Paul Heyman) vs. Big E (Singles match for the WWE Championship)

·         We get formal ring introductions and the match goes around 3-4 minutes. Lesnar tackles Big E right off the bell ringing and rams into him in the corner. Lesnar tries for a triad of German Suplexes, but Big E is too strong and breaks Lesnar’s arms from around his waist, and Big E himself hits some Belly to Belly suplexes on Lesnar. The two lay into each other in a 3 minute sprint and it eventually comes to crashing halt for Big E as he calls for the Big Ending, crowd going wild, and he gets Brock up on his shoulders, but Brock slides off and hoists Big E up for an F-5, THEN ANOTHER, THEN A THIRD and final F-5 for the retain. This would mark the end of the Kofi vs. Brock storyline, and I would have New Day go over to RAW in the draft to separate them from Lesnar and since they’ve been on SD for the longest time now. This would be an incredible moment and impromptu match and it would give us the taste of Big E in the main event that we have longed for forever.

WINNER by PINFALL and STILL WWE Champion: Brock Lesnar

·         The cell music begins to play and the structure lowers as we get a video package for The Fiend vs. Rollins for the final transition.

5TH MATCH: Seth Rollins (c) vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt (Hell In A Cell match for the WWE Universal Championship)

·         The champion of the universe, Seth Rollins is out first followed by THE FIEND AND HIS AMAZING CODE ORANGE THEME REMAKE. The match goes around 12 minutes. This NEEDS to be very Fiend-offense-heavy. I thought that even Finn Balor got too much offense in the Fiend’s debut match at Summerslam. This is a brutal match where weapons are swung, heads are ripped off shoulders, and human flesh is ripped off by the cell itself. The match ends when Rollins hits a Curb Stomp. Fiend kicks out at 1. Rollns hits another Stomp. Fiend kicks out at 1. Rollins hits a Curb Stomp on the stairs, Fiend kicks out at 1. ROLLINS HITS A PEDIGREE ON THE STEPS, FIEND. KICKS. OUT. AT. ONE. Rollins is out of options now, but he has one idea left. Seth retrieves a table from under the ring, lays the Fiend on it, goes up to the top rope, and is about to hit a frogsplash WHEN THE FIEND GETS UP AND LAYS IN THE MANDIBLE CLAW, SENDS ROLLINS CRASHING OFF THE TOP ROPE THROUGH THE TABLE, STILL WITH THE CLAW LOCKED IN, and this is the final blow for Rollins, who passes out, meaning The Fiend has now become Universal. Fiend is the face of RAW, and Rollins goes to SmackDown in the draft. The PPV goes off the air with The Fiend on kneeling over the broken body of Seth Rollins, new champion of the universe.

WINNER by SUBMISSION and NEW WWE Universal Champion: The Fiend.
