WWE Hell in a Cell 09 Raw and ECW Preview
Predictions & Live Results for the 4th October in Newark New Jersey
Sep 30, 2009
Every main event match will be contested inside the confines of the Hell in a Cell structure at the aptly named Hell in a Cell Pay Per View, WWE's second 'themed' event of the year.
ECW still don't have a title match on the card just days before the event and with a packed card from both the main shows it will be a tight squeeze if one is added at the last minute.
Mickey James (c) Vs. Alicia Fox for the Divas Championship
A fairly fresh face gets a shot at the Divas Championship at Hell in a Cell, when up and comer Alicia Fox challenges experienced Diva Mickie James.
Fox proved that she is worthy of a title match by cleanly defeating Gail Kim, one of the most skilled divas on the WWE roster at the present time, although failed to help her pal Rosa Mendes beat the champion in a warm-up match 6 days prior to the Pay Per View on Raw.
Beth Phoenix has indicated recently that her sights are firmly set on the Divas Championship, so there is every possibility that The Glamazon may show up and stake her place in the title picture.
Prediction: Fox has put on some good performances to get to Hell in a Cell and challenge for the title, but it's unlikely she will win it. James to get a clean victory.
Kofi Kingston (c) Vs. The Miz Vs. Jack Swagger for the United States Championship
In the weeks between Breaking Point and Hell in a Cell all three of these Superstars have worn the United States Championship, however Kofi Kingston has never officially lost the belt.
After losing out at Breaking Point, The Miz took matters into his own hands the following night on Raw, stealing the United States title from ringside and walking out on his partner Jack Swagger during a tag team match against Kingston and Bourne.
The following week Kingston took his belt back, only to have Jack Swagger steal it after preventing The Miz from doing so for a second straight week.
Kingston took his belt back once again just six days before Hell in a Cell, sneaking to the ring and taking it while The Miz and Swagger brawled after an argument over who deserved the title more.
The Miz and Kingston put on a great bout at Breaking Point and throwing Swagger into the mix certainly won't hurt.
Prediction: Kingston has had the gold for a long time now and it might be time for someone else to have a run with the belt. The Miz to steal one, perhaps at Swagger's expense.
DX Vs. Legacy in a Tag Team Hell in a Cell Match
It feels like DX and Legacy have been feuding for years now, but in actual fact it's only been a few months and two headline matches.
This will be the third Pay Per View bout between the two teams and currently the score stands at one victory a piece, making this the proverbial 'rubber' match and potentially the climax of what has been a very good rivalry.
Legacy have shown in recent weeks that they are more than just a pair of errand boys for their leader Randy Orton and a victory in this match, a match that Triple H and HBK have a clear advantage in as far as experience goes, would catapult them right into the top tier of the Raw Brand.
However, DX have already put the youngsters over in a Falls Count Anywhere Submission Match at Breaking Point, so will be looking to gain some revenge inside the demonic cell structure.
Prediction: DX to grab a very hard fought victory.
John Cena (c) Vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship in a Hell in a Cell Match
Finally to Raw's main event. The bad news is that it's yet another meeting between Cena and Orton (surely there must be someone else on Raw capable of stepping up and challenging for the gold), the good news is that due to the nature of the Pay Per View two guys that probably wouldn't compete in a Hell in a Cell match are now forced to.
The rivalry between these two guys is a long and storied one, but the short version is; they hate each other and both want the WWE Championship.
Cena showed just how much he wanted the gold at Breaking Point, taking a massive amount of punishment but refusing to quit and eventually picking up the win and the belt.
However, this won't be the first time Orton has competed inside the brutal environment of Hell in a Cell and as he has been quick to point out, this should give him the advantage despite Cena getting the better of him atop the structure on the Raw before the Pay Per View.
Prediction: A Victory for Orton would be welcomed by a lot of fans but it seems more likely that Cena will keep hold of the belt a little longer. Cena to retain.
