Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns will both enter hell on Oct. 25, but only one man can win.
Dolph Ziggler Should Turn Heel, Win WWE Championship
It was revealed on SmackDown that Reigns and Wyatt will battle inside the satanic structure at Hell in a Cell on Oct. 25 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, according to Wrestle Zone.
Wyatt and Reigns could both use a victory as they're two huge stars in the WWE, but have seen their stock fall a bit from their peaks over the course of 2015. Here's a look at why both men could use the rub.
Seth Rollins Needs To Keep World Title Until WrestleMania
Roman Reigns
The leader of the Roman Empire had a strong start to 2015 and was reportedly Vince McMahon's hand-picked top guy, but his main event push with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship never came to fruition. Reigns was booed when he won the Royal Rumble Match and even after he had a solid bout with Daniel Bryan at Fastlane. When WrestleMania rolled around, the WWE changed its plans, having Seth Rollins walk away with the gold, not Reigns.
The WWE has kept Reigns looking strong in the months since WrestleMania, but he failed to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase that he seemed earmarked for, and instead entered into a feud with Wyatt. Reigns and Wyatt have changed singles and tag victories at major WWE shows since, but the mega push for Reigns has certainly taken a back seat.
If McMahon is in fact very high on Reigns, the odds are he has plans to thrust him into the main event again, likely in 2015. This means the WWE is going to want to keep him strong heading into the latter stages of 2015 and a big win over Wyatt in a high-profile gimmick match would go a long way.
Bray Wyatt
The "Eater of Worlds" has had an up-and-down year, not factoring into the main event (or any title) scene at all. After WrestleMania, Wyatt was kept off the Extreme Rules card and wasn't given any kind of long-term direction until he disrupted Reigns' quest at winning Money in the Bank in June.
The WWE seemed a bit lost with the "New Face of Fear," and decided to bring back The Wyatt Family by reuniting him with Luke Harper and revamping the stable with the addition of Braun Strowman. It's helped enhance his character a lot, but Wyatt also seems to be lost in the shuffle of the midcard. After losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania, WWE's interest in Wyatt seemed to plummet.
For such a deep character, he's already absorbed a ton of losses that could hurt his credibility in the long run, so a win at Hell in a Cell could do wonders in restoring him.
Prediction
It's a tough one to call, as these two titans have gone back-and-forth so much over the years that it could go either way. With Wyatt's side having won the last war, it seems Reigns will go over here to start building another Winter of Roman in early 2016.
The Pick: Roman Reigns
