My predictions for Hell in a Cell 2014

Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins
in a Hell in a Cell Match

Dean Ambrose has the contract...and he has the match with Seth now. It's all come to this. Who will finish this?

My prediction: Hoping that Dean Ambrose wins this one.

John Cena vs. Randy Orton
in a Hell in a Cell Match

But wait...there's a double main event. Randy Orton is taking the man who didn't get the contract in a Hell in a Cell match. Now these two titans clash once again...

My prediction: LOLCENAWINS

Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella
Loser must be the winner's personal assistant!

Well, this just got interesting. There's no love lost between Brie and Nikki since Nikki has turned against her sister. Now there's a catch in the match: the loser has to do her sister's bidding for 30 days!

My prediction: Pulling for Brie to win this one.

Sheamus (c) vs. The Miz
for the WWE United States Championship

The Miz may not have schemed his way back to becoming Intercontinental champ, but he's now declared open season on Sheamus' United States title. Will Miz get what he wants again, or will we see a Brogue Kick to "the moneymaker?"

My prediction: Miz is taking the US title.

Big Show vs. Rusev

After Rusev conquered Mark Henry last month, Big Show - who is now Henry's "brother from another mother" - is stepping up to the plate. He's knocked Rusev out twice, but he has yet to get a clean win on Rusev. Can he do it on October 26th?

My prediction: Calling it now: Rusev will win despite being proven mortal yet again.

AJ Lee (c) vs Paige
for the WWE Divas Championship

Once again, AJ Lee and Paige are duking it out for the Divas title, and it's been pretty interesting every time they've done so. But with AJ Lee being a Diva alone and Paige having a bestie in the form of Alicia Fox, how will this one turn out?

My prediction: AJ Lee will retain.

Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust) (c)
vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships

Well, it just had to happen, didn't it? The Usos get another shot at getting the tag team titles back from the Dust Brothers. All of these guys can be unpredictable in the ring, so there's no telling how far this match is gonna go!

My prediction: Goldust and Stardust will probably retain the Cosmic Key.

Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Cesaro
in a Two out of Three Falls match
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Looks like Ziggler is in for the match of his life as WWE Intercontinental Champion: no sooner after retaining the title on the final SmackDown before Hell in a Cell against Cesaro is it announced that the two will square off again for the title on Sunday in a Two-out-of-Three Falls match. The only difference is that Ziggler's walking into virgin territory here and Cesaro is on familiar ground, especially after his amazing two-out-of-three falls match against Sami Zayn in NXT last year.

My prediction: Ziggler will probably retain.

Layin' da SmackDown! - SmackDown recap for October 24, 2014

Dean Ambrose kicks off the show. No matter what happens to him, he may get hurt, but he keeps getting back up, and it's all because he has nothing else to live for but to hurt people, as he's not a nice guy. Seth Rollins shows up on the TitanTron after Ambrose calls him out, saying not to tell him what to do, and says he'll end Ambrose's future at Hell in a Cell so he can cash in for his own.

As for whether or not Big Show can keep his emotion in check, Big Show says that's absolutely out of the question and that he will knock out Rusev this Sunday.



Dolph Ziggler retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Cesaro.



Nikki Bella, Cameron and Summer Rae beat Brie Bella, Natalya and Naomi. After the match, Nikki says she plans to make Brie her personal assistant after Hell in a Cell.

When he calls Ambrose out, he doesn't show up, and Rollins says he's "all talk." It isn't until after this that Ambrose attacks Rollins from behind only to be outnumbered thanks to Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. Rollins is able to retreat, but Noble and Mercury aren't so lucky, as they are soon knocked out and elbow dropped through tables.

Neville tells him to name the time and place, and he'll do it. Zayn then tells Neville to hold on to the title because he won't be holding if for much longer, but Adrian isn't worried, as Zayn "can't win the big one."

Rollins has respect for Foley after this...until Foley says he would come out victorious if the normal circumstances didn't involve Hell in a Cell.

This episode is the second of two episodes that aired on the same night. After Total Divas will be in this entry.

Rosa Mendes and Nattie have bought doughnuts...and they learn that Rosa and a huge truck is not the best combination as Rosa has trouble getting out of the parking lot.

Eva Marie and Jonathan are with Eva's family. Their wedding is right around the corner, and Eva feels lucky to share this with her dad.

Nikki invites the girls over to John's Cena house, and the Divas converse on the patio. Ariane hires Nikki as her real estate in an attempt to become a first-time homeowner.

Nattie and TJ meet with a divorce attorney, with Nattie hoping that something in this will get TJ to change his mind. It doesn't seem to work that way.

Eva Marie, Ariane, Nikki and Brie have a meal outside. Eva brings up the wedding as well as her father's cancer.

Backstage, Brie and Nikki run into Jojo, and then into Eva Marie. They want to help Eva Marie concerning her dad, and tell her that if she needs someone, they're there for her. Eva Marie doesn't really want to deal with it right now due to being at work. Eva Marie says she's fine, but in reality it's a bit awkward.

Nattie and TJ try to sleep in separate rooms and get along, but when they have a conversation over who wants what, things get heated.



Nikki and Ariane head to a house that Ariane is interested in, even though Ariane has no idea what she's looking for in a house as well as what she can afford. She likes the house, but then finds out the house is going for almost $3 million.

Brie and Bryan talk at home. Brie mentions what's going on with Eva Marie and her dad, as well as their conversation backstage. Brie is legitimately worried for Eva Marie, and wants to throw Eva a bridal shower to make her feel better.

Ariane and Nikki look at another house, this one with a $1.4 million asking price. Ariane schedules another look at the house, as she's not sure if he'll be a fan of the asking price.

Nattie invites Trinity over to the house. Nattie mentions the trouble she's having with TJ as well as the meeting with the divorce attorney when TJ arrives. At this point, the conversation gets awkward and Nattie tosses some of TJ's clothes into the front lawn. Trinity is shocked. She picks the clothes back up and talks to TJ, but when Trinity makes some headway, Nattie makes it awkward and tells TJ to go away.

Ariane and Nikki head back to the $1.4 million dollar home with Vinnie. Vinnie loves the home, but even he is taken aback by the asking price.

Eva Marie picks up Jonathan from the airport so they can spend some time together while on the road. She mentions her backstage conversation with Brie and Nikki, and says she doesn't really want to talk about what's going on with her dad.

Vinnie and Ariane meet up with Nikki to see if they can negotiate a good offer. They talk alone for a moment, then ask Nikki if she's willing to take less than full commission, which she can't do. This puts not only Nikki in a really awkward position, but also Vinnie and Nikki, both of whom take it personally. Ariane said she'd rather walk away than lose a friendship when Nikki follows her outside.



Brie and Nikki meet Jonathan backstage, and find out that that Eva Marie is taking the situation with her father even harder than they imagined. They bring up the bridal shower idea, and Jonathan is very open to it.

Nikki meets with Ariane backstage. It is her first conversation with her since the botched real estate deal, and both of them make amends.

TJ tells Nattie he's leaving in order to stop the fighting. Nattie is relieved, as she's tired of the fighting between her and TJ whenever they see each other.



Eva Marie appears at the bridal shower that Brie and Nikki have planned, and is amazed that her mom, Jonathan, the Total Divas and all of her friends are there. Eva Marie gets a better engagement ring than the one she had before, and Eva Marie apologizes for taking their conversation backstage so hard. Eva also talks to her mom, asking that she be in the loop in case something happens to her dad. She finds out the family is taking it pretty hard, and her mom asks that she call in and check on her dad. Eva Marie takes the time to isolate herself and do just that.



Nikki and Nattie are talking backstage when Nattie notices TJ is backstage. Nattie thinks TJ is there to embarrass her, and the two of them have an argument right in front of Nikki, Trinity and Jon Uso. TJ comes off to Nattie as completely insensitive and sarcastic, and Nikki has to help Nattie walk away from this before it gets worse.
