Hell In A Cell 2018 Predictions
The predictions title is now vacant as the reigning champion, Ben Mawson failed to correct the most predictions while Ben Hercik and Jack drew with the most so therefore they will be fighting tonight for the vacant belt, who will win; The Cleveland Killer, Ben Hercik or Jack. Jack is a former All Things Combat Wrestling Champion while Ben Hercik has failed to win the gold but will tonight be the night where Hercik brings the gold back to Cleveland?
KICK OFF: The New Day (C) Vs. Rusev Day (Smackdown Tag Team Championships)
Ben: It seems simple enough here. New Day just won the championships while Rusev Day seems to be on the same page. This looks like its only here to get New Day and Rusev on the card. I do see Aiden turning on Rusev soon, as Smackdown needs a better face mid-card right now as Nakamura and Almas are heads above a crowded heel mid-card at the moment. When that happens I just hope their is still something for Aiden to do and not get lost in the shuffle.
Prediction: New Day
Jack: Rusev and English are winning this I think because I think the New Day will split up soon.
Prediction: Rusev & Aiden English

Jeff Hardy Vs. Randy Orton (Hell In A Cell)
Jack: I’m going Jeff Hardy - he might not win but he’ll do something cool no doubt.
Prediction: Jeff Hardy
Ben: Hey, how did we end back up in 2008! This feud is a blast from the past and while I wasn't a fan of it at first, I am after this build up. I think it's no secret Jeff is hurting, and both competitors are getting older and are willing to take time off, as seen by Orton's recent hiatus. I think Orton wins here after Jeff goes for something crazy and misses it.

Ronda Rousey (C) Vs. Alexa Bliss (RAW Women’s Championship)
Ben: I didn't like the first match. I didn't like that they announced a rematch. I don't want the rematch, but here we are. Alexa already has a match with Trish Stratus at Evolution, and I can't see that being for the championship, (but some part-timer is getting a championship shot at Evolution that we don't want to see). Ronda wins and then maybe we can see what Alexa does now that she is out of the title scene for once in her main roster career.
Prediction: Ronda Rousey
Jack: Ronda. Rousey. No questions asked.

Brie Bella & Daniel Bryan Vs. The Miz & Maryse
Jack: Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan as I don’t see WWE making Brie Bella lose so early on in her return.
Prediction: Brie/Bryan
Ben: This feud has not been good. While yes it was cool to see Brie punch Miz, that was about it so far. I don't think that this match will help in the Bryan vs Miz feud in the future, but I do think that the men won't be involved in the finish. That way it will protect both men from taking a loss when they are both high up on the Smackdown card. I think Brie pins Maryse and then maybe Miz takes some time off to be with his newborn at home and Bryan can focus elsewhere, perhaps the United States Championship.

Charlotte Flair (C) Vs. Becky Lynch (Smackdown Women’s Championship)
Ben: The fact that this isn't in the cell is baffling to me. These two women hate each other and want to essentially hurt one and other. Becky has been amazing in these past few weeks and she deserves a title run.....but not just yet. I think she wins the title at Evolution, after some weird thing happens at Super Showdown, in a No Disqualification match. As for this match, I see Charlotte retaining via Disqualification and acting a bit more like a heel and that in turn makes Becky a face (this is the double turn I mentioned in From the Rumor Mill on Thursday). But I'm taking Charlotte to retain here.
Prediction: Charlotte Flair
Jack: Becky Lynch as she has a lot of momentum behind her and she’s one of the hottest things on Smackdown at the moment.

Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre (C) Vs. Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose (RAW Tag Team Championships)
Jack: I’m going with Drew and Dolph and hope their push goes longer as they’re really entertaining and wish they were higher up on the card.
Prediction: Drew & Dolph
Ben: This one is weird. On one side we have two former World Champions and the current Intercontinental Champion. The other side has another former World Champion and a future World Champion and they are the current Tag Team Champions. McIntyre and Ziggler just won the titles like 2 weeks ago, and I can't see them losing them so soon. A lot of people think that Ambrose is going to turn on Seth, but I don't think that will happen just yet. Maybe at Survivor Series though.

AJ Styles (C) Vs. Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)
Ben: WHY ISN'T THIS IN THE CELL?! This is maybe the most personal feud in years and, quite possibly, feud of the year over all of wrestling! (Although, Bullet Club Elite vs Bullet Club OGs is in the running too) This is the match full of uncertainty to me. AJ makes sense to win because of him being on the cover of 2K and possibly breaking Punk's record of longest reign in modern history. Joe makes sense because he literally has nowhere else to go if he doesn't win and he is the best heel in the business right now along with The Miz. In a coin toss match up like this, I'm gonna go with my heart again and take Samoa Joe to win.
Prediction: Samoa Joe
Jack: Samoa Joe is gaining a lot of momentum and I think a title change is in order.

Roman Reigns (C) Vs. Braun Strowman (Hell In A Cell; Universal Championship)
Jack: Braun is cashing in and I don’t want to see two fail cash ins two years running.
Prediction: Braun Strowman
Ben: Am I excited for this match? No. Why? I honestly am not sure. Roman and Braun have both looked decent in the build up, with Braun looking a touch better in my opinion. This one is hard to pick as well. The next big Pay-Per-View is Survivor Series and that is going to be Raw vs Smackdown. I don't think they want to have Braun go in their as champion as he is to dominant for someone like AJ Styles to beat. But if Smackdown wins a few other matches, then it would make sense. Also, with Roman not defending the title at Super Showdown, it does make sense for him to lose it here. But he just won it so I'm gonna pick the Big Dog.
