During the pre-show, we see footage of an angry Rusev throwing tables backstage after the US title rematch with Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns shows up to start the show. He says his bloodline has been represented in the WWE for a long time, but nobody has ever won the United States title until now as he is the guy. Suddenly, Lana appears and announces she is here to talk to him, and that Rusev doesn't know that she's doing this. She tells him that Rusev is challenging him to a rematch for the United States title, and when Roman mocks Rusev by saying he's hiding behind Lana's skirt, she tells Roman that she has no idea what family is, and that Rusev will crush him. Roman tells Lana to tell Rusev to "bring his Bulgarian balls out here" and challenge him to his face. Lana tells Roman to go to Hell, and Rusev rushes in. This sets a brawl between Roman and Rusev in motion, and it ends with Rusev kicking Roman into the crowd before he takes the United States title and lifts it up, saying that it is his title. As he and Lana are about to leave, Roman Reigns hits Rusev with a Superman Punch at the top of the entrance ramp before he says that if Lana and Rusev want him to go to Hell, they're going down with him and that Rusev has his rematch...in Hell in a Cell.
We see a video package for TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick, which is happening later tonight.
Brian Kendrick beats TJ Perkins with the Captain's Hook. (The match, which was advertised as being for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship last week, is a non-title match with no explanation given.)
We see an interview between Michael Cole and Seth Rollins from earlier today. Despite doctor's orders telling him not to come to Los Angeles, he's heading there anyway. He knows you make enemies on the way to the top, and says that he and Kevin Owens have had a lot of success in WWE, but that is where the comparisons end. He calls Owens the new teacher's pet, and says Triple H handed him the WWE Universal Championship, whereas he worked his way to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He says that Kevin Owens is a cog in the machine, and that it is hard to replace Seth Rollins. Rollins says he had Owens beat dead to rights at Clash of Champions, but after everything went down he still lost. He plans to prove to the world that he is still "The Man" and force Owens to cancel "The Kevin Owens Show" at Hell In A Cell. It is then announced after the interview that Owens will respond to Rollins later tonight.
Byron Saxton interviews Braun Strowman's opponent, Chase Silver, who says that he's moved out here to Idaho and has dreams of beating Braun Stromwan.
Braun Strowman beats Chase Silver. After the match, Byron Saxton interviews Strowman, who says that if General Manager Mick Foley doesn't give him some real competition next week, there may not be a next week.
Bayley meets up with Sasha Banks. Bayley is ecstatic that Sasha Banks is taking on Charlotte for the Raw Women's Championship in tonight's main event. Sasha talks about how she has proved the critics wrong, and Bayley says she can't think of a more deserving person of the opportunity than Sasha. Sasha says she will make history by taking the Raw Women's title from Charlotte. She says Charlotte was born for the business, but she was born to be champion.

Rusev vs. Roman Reigns in a Hell In A Cell match for the WWE United States Championship is official for Hell In A Cell.
Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens show up. Owens calls Seth Rollins a stupid idiot for requesting a rematch for the WWE Universal Championship, saying that Rollins lost at Clash of Champions and implying that he has done nothing to deserve it. He tells Rollins that he beat him, and that he is now the one standing in the ring with the Universal title. Jericho then announces he is in the ring with Owens as they are the best of friends, but Owens says he asked Jericho to join him because Rollins blames the referee for the match and that he wants Jericho to be the special guest referee for the rematch. Jericho then tells Owens that he and Owens are the best tag team in the WWE, and that they should challenge The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) for the tag titles, but Owens says Cesaro and Sheamus have a shot and holding the Universal and one-half of the Raw tag titles is a lot of. After some coaxing, however, Owens considers doing it after all. The New Day show up and say that they have the best friendship in the WWE, and Jericho puts Kofi on The List. Big E and Xavier Woods also make the list, the former for not allowing Jericho in the champions' huddle and the latter for laughing. Owens then tells them to leave if they're not going to put the Raw tag titles on the line against them, then roasts The New Day, saying they jumped the shark. Xavier Woods asks Owens when the last time he jumped over anything was before telling them they've got a tag team match later tonight.
