One of the marquee matches at the Hell in a Cell PPV event will be between Samoa Joe and AJ Styles. This will be for the WWE Championship. The storyline has been getting extremely personal over the past few weeks, with Joe continuing to taunt Styles and his family.
So what is going to happen in the match on Sunday Night and who will win? Let’s speculate a little bit here.
Let’s start with the match quality. I really enjoyed their match at Summerslam a few weeks ago. There is no doubt in my mind that their match at Hell in a Cell has the potential to be just as good or even better, especially since the feud has gotten more personal. This is an easy choice for match of the night when looking at the card on paper. I am also pretty surprised that WWE didn’t add the Hell in a Cell stipulation to this match as it seemed like a perfect fit.
So Who Is Going To Win?
I originally thought that this could be the place where Samoa Joe wins the belt. After thinking about it, I am going with AJ Styles retaining. I think that there are two ways that WWE will go. The first would be the most obvious. AJ Styles defeats the man who has been tormenting him and his family over the past several weeks. This would be the classic, good guy defeats the bad guy scenario. The second route would be another disqualification (or a count out) which sets us up for some sort of stipulation match at the WWE Super Show-Down event.
Personally, I don’t see WWE having Samoa Joe walk out with the belt here based on the storyline. I feel as if we are being set up for a spot where Styles defeats Joe and celebrates with his family.
