In this exclusive preview, we break down every confirmed match, analyze the rivalries, and predict the outcomes that could send shockwaves through the WWE.
🏆 Confirmed Matches & Breakdowns
1. Hell in a Cell Match: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes – Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
“The Final Chapter of a Bloody War”
The Rivalry:
This feud has been years in the making. Since Cody Rhodes’ triumphant return to WWE, he has had one goal—dethroning Roman Reigns. After falling short at WrestleMania 43, Rhodes earned one final shot inside the most demonic structure in WWE history: Hell in a Cell.
What’s at Stake:
- If Rhodes loses, he can never challenge for the title again as long as Reigns is champion.
- Reigns’ historic 1,500+ day reign hangs in the balance.
Prediction:
This will be a brutal, career-defining battle. Expect blood, steel chair shots, and a possible interference from The Rock or Solo Sikoa. Will Rhodes finally finish the story? Or will Reigns cement his legacy as the greatest champion of all time?
🔮 Our Pick: Cody Rhodes finally overcomes The Tribal Chief—but at what cost?
2. Triple Threat Match: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Charlotte Flair – Women’s World Championship
“A Clash of Titans”
The Rivalry:
Rhea Ripley has dominated the women’s division, but Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair refuse to be silenced. After months of backstage assaults and near-falls, WWE management has made this a Triple Threat—no disqualifications, no count-outs.
What’s at Stake:
- Ripley’s record-setting reign could end in an instant.
- Belair seeks to regain her throne, while Flair eyes her 17th world title to break her own record.
Prediction:
This will be a high-flying, hard-hitting war with all three women pushing their limits. Expect dive spots, submission battles, and possible interference from Judgment Day.
🔮 Our Pick: Rhea Ripley retains—but barely—after a shocking twist.
3. Last Man Standing Match: Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Gunther
“The Visionary vs. The Ring General”
The Rivalry:
Gunther has dismantled every opponent in his path, but Seth Rollins refuses to stay down. After Rollins cost Gunther the Intercontinental Championship, the Austrian brute demanded a Last Man Standing match to settle the score once and for all.
What’s at Stake:
- Pride, pain, and possibly a future world title opportunity.
- Gunther’s unstoppable aura vs. Rollins’ resilience.
Prediction:
This will be a brutal, physical war—ladders, kendo sticks, and maybe even a table spot through the stage.
🔮 Our Pick: Gunther stands tall—but Rollins earns his respect.
4. WWE Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The Creed Brothers
“Family vs. Future”
The Rivalry:
The Usos have reclaimed the tag team gold, but the brutal, powerhouse duo of Julius and Brutus Creed are hungry for their first taste of WWE gold. After weeks of destructive squashes, the Creeds have demanded their shot.
What’s at Stake:
- The Usos’ legacy as the greatest tag team of all time.
- The Creed Brothers’ chance to usher in a new era.
Prediction:
A fast-paced, hard-hitting classic with dives, superkicks, and unbelievable strength spots.
🔮 Our Pick: The Creed Brothers shock the world and become new champions.
5. Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Bron Breakker
“Underdog vs. Unstoppable Force”
The Rivalry:
Sami Zayn’s feel-good title reign is in jeopardy as Bron Breakker, the most dominant NXT call-up in years, has his sights set on gold. Breakker has demolished everyone in his path—can Zayn outsmart the powerhouse?
What’s at Stake:
- Zayn’s Cinderella story continues or ends.
- Breakker’s main roster coronation.
Prediction:
A David vs. Goliath battle with Zayn using his speed and wit against Breakker’s raw power.
🔮 Our Pick: Bron Breakker crushes Zayn to become the new IC Champion.
6. Grudge Match: Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan
“Revenge is a Dish Best Served Violently”
The Rivalry:
Liv Morgan finally snapped after months of being overlooked. She attacked Becky Lynch, costing her a title match, and declared war. Now, they meet in a No Disqualification grudge match.
What’s at Stake:
- Morgan’s career resurgence vs. Lynch’s pride.
- Possible heel turn for one of them.
Prediction:
A wild brawl featuring weapons, outside interference, and possibly a shocking betrayal.
🔮 Our Pick: Liv Morgan gets the upset win—but the feud is far from over.
