Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio Hell In A Cell Match Moved To Friday’s SmackDown

The Hell In A Cell match will be taking place sooner than expected

The Universal Championship Hell In A Cell match between the current champion Roman Reigns and his challenger Rey Mysterio has been moved to this Friday’s episode of SmackDown.

The master of 619 took on his Twitter today and said that he couldn’t wait until Sunday: “It’s eating me up inside. I can’t wait any longer. I want the Hell In A Cell match tomorrow night. @WWERomanReigns @HeymanHustle”

The tribal chief responded to this tweet from Mysterio. Accepting his challenge Reigns wrote:  “Sunday. Friday. Any day.   Makes no difference to me. It’ll be my pleasure to disgrace what’s left of your family name tomorrow night inside Hell in a Cell! My Special Counsel @HeymanHustle will handle the paperwork. I’ll PERSONALLY handle the warfare!”

There is no word yet on why this match was moved from the PPV on Sunday to Friday’s show. This change leaves Sunday’s PPV with only one confirmed cell match between Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre for the WWE championship.

Updated SmackDown Preview

After the announcement, here is the updated line up for this Friday’s SmackDown:

  • Universal Championship Hell In A Cell Match: Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio
  • Singles Match: Baron Corbin vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Corbin’s crown will be on the line
  • Singles Match: Otis vs. Angelo Dawkins
