• Possible Reason Behind Hell In A Cell 2018 Main Event Ending In A No Contest
In the main event of last night’s Hell In A Cell 2018 PPV, “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar returned to WWE programming, broke the Hell in a Cell door and destroyed both Roman Reigns & Braun Strowman. This resulted in the Universal Title match ending in a no contest.
Ow.

According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE possibly booked the match to end in a No Contest because it was the only way to protect Strowman. The only other possible finish in this case was Strowman getting pinned (as WWE wouldn’t book Reigns to drop the Universal Title this soon after his huge win over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam).
As we noted earlier, the Fired Up podcast reported that WWE now plans to do a Triple Threat match for the Universal Championship between Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar either at Survivor Series 2018 PPV or the November 2nd show in Saudi Arabia.
