Bleacher Report Writers' and Predictions
The writing team here at Bleacher Report has been analyzing and offering predictions for Hell in a Cell all week leading up to Sunday's show:
Other Hell in a Cell Thoughts
Shane McMahon's willingness to put his body on the line for the sake of a cool moment has put the SmackDown commissioner in a tough position.
He has reached a point where people expect him to perform some kind of crazy spot in his matches, and putting him in a bout with a massive steel cage has already led many to assume he will jump or fall off the top.
Giving him an opponent like Kevin Owens was smart because KO is a talented technician and brawler, so they can have an amazing match without needing to take a 20-foot dive.
As far as the Tag Team Championship HIAC bout is concerned, we can expect both teams to put it all on the line to make it a memorable encounter.

This will be the first time the tag titles will be defended inside the cell, and as two of WWE's most established and talented teams, fans already have high expectations.
Then there's the WWE Championship match. Nakamura could win his first title on the main roster, but he will have to contend with The Singh Brothers backing up Mahal.
Natalya and Charlotte have been fighting since The Queen was rising through the ranks in NXT, so there is a good chance they will steal the show Sunday night.
The HIAC card has a lot of potential, but WWE needs to find the right balance between good matches and satisfying booking decisions.
