5 Bold Predictions for WWE Hell in a Cell 2021: Current champion makes a shocking announcement, Massive return

We are less than 36 hours away from WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. The pay-per-view will most likely be WWE's last one in the ThunderDome as the promotion is set to resume live touring next month.

As of the writing of this article, a total of six matches are scheduled to take place at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. This includes two Hell in a Cell matches, one for the WWE Championship and the other for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio, originally announced for WWE Hell in a Cell, was brought forward and took place on this week's episode of SmackDown.

Truth be told, WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 doesn't have the most exciting match card. There are multiple rematches and it is relatively easy for a long-time fan to figure out the winners. In fact, reports suggest that none of the titles will change hands at the PPV. To make things interesting, WWE could make a few bold decisions.

Let's take a look at five bold predictions for WWE Hell in a Cell 2021.

#5 Alexa Bliss appears with a new look at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021

RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss is set to take on Shayna Baszler at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. Bliss has taken her dark character to a whole new level after WrestleMania 37, especially with the introduction of her doll - Lilly.

Fans are still speculating about the significance of Lilly and one of the most common theories is that she is a darker alter ego of Alexa Bliss. WWE has made it clear that Lilly is playing mind games with Shayna Baszler and this Sunday, things could become eerier.

Alexa Bliss could appear with a new look during her match against Shayna Baszler at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. Her look could be somewhat inspired by Lilly, or she could just get a haunting mask of her own. In many ways, it could be a female version of The Fiend, which would make things interesting once Bray Wyatt returns.

#4 NXT Champion Karrion Kross appears at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 to make a massive announcement

WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 could see NXT Champion Karrion Kross make his first main roster appearance. Kross was backstage at this week's episode of SmackDown. WWE officials really like him and recent reports suggest that he will be getting fast-tracked to the main roster soon.

That might indeed happen very soon with the NXT Champion appearing at WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday and making a massive announcement. He could announce his entry into this year's Money in the Bank match which is set to take place next month in front of a live crowd.

We have previously seen Kevin Owens make his main roster debut while still being the NXT Champion in 2015 and WWE might do the same with Kross. The NXT Champion holding the Money in the Bank briefcase would make for some interesting storytelling and cross-brand action.

#3 Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins is made a Hell in a Cell match at the last-minute

WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 currently has two matches scheduled to take place inside the deadly structure. Hell in a Cell is a gimmick match that is supposed to end long-time feuds. However, in the last few years, WWE has been criticized for randomly throwing feuds into it.

If there's one match on WWE Hell in a Cell 2021's card that deserves to take place inside the deadly structure, it is the one between Cesaro and Seth Rollins. The two SmackDown superstars have been feuding for a long time and having yet another singles match might become repetitive. Instead, there could be a last-minute change with Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins announced to be a Hell in a Cell match.

#2 Kofi Kingston turns heel at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021

WWE Hell in a Cell 2021 will see WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defend his title against Drew McIntyre inside the Cell. The two would undoubtedly have a great match but fans aren't as invested in the storyline.

MVP has been trying to subtly get Kofi Kingston to join hands with him and Bobby Lashley on RAW recently. At WWE Hell in a Cell 2021, we might finally see the New Day member turn heel and help the WWE Champion retain his title. Kofi Kingston could fit in perfectly as the new member of The Hurt Business.

#1 Sasha Banks returns at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021

The second WWE Hell in a Cell match this Sunday would be for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Bianca Belair will step inside the deadly structure for the first time to defend her title against Bayley.

We might see SmackDown star Sasha Banks finally make her return at WWE Hell in a Cell 2021. Banks has been missing from WWE TV for quite some time now and it is about time WWE brings her back.

She could interfere in this match, attacking both Belair and Bayley. This could ultimately set up a triple threat between them at next month's WWE Money in the Bank 2021.
