Tonight’s Hell In A Cell 2017 PPV is airing live from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. This is the 9th PPV under the “Hell In A Cell” banner and will feature two Hell in a Cell matches, one of which will have the SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the line. This is the first time ever that the Tag Team Titles are being defended in a Hell in a Cell match.
Below is the match-card for tonight’s show:
– Kickoff Show Match: Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable vs. The Hype Bros
– Bobby Roode vs. Dolph Ziggler
– Randy Orton vs. Rusev
– United States Championship Match: AJ Styles (c) vs. Baron Corbin
– SmackDown Women’s Championship Match: Natalya (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
– Hell in a Cell Match For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The New Day (c) vs. The Usos
– WWE Championship Match: Jinder Mahal (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
– Falls Count Anywhere Hell in a Cell Match: Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens
Daniel Bryan announces on the Kickoff Show that Tye Dillinger will also be a part of the United States Title match. This means the US Title match will now be a Triple Threat match.
In the Kickoff tag team match, the team of Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable picked up the win over Hype Bros.
