And so, it’s official. Back in 2009, WWE started running an annual Hell In A Cell pay per view. The idea was very simple: every year there would be a guaranteed Cell match (if not more) at the match’s namesake event. This was a hit and miss idea, as you never knew if the match really belonged inside the Cell or not. Some of them did though, and the first match announced inside the Cell this year seems to as well.

Make sure to check out our Monday Night Raw results right here.

On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Braun Strowman announced that he will be cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase against Universal Champion Roman Reigns inside the Cell on September 16. The idea of announcing a cash-in early is rather rare, having only been done twice before. John Cena did it in 2012 but didn’t win the title while Rob Van Dam successfully cashed in back in 2006.

Hopefully it goes a little better for Strowman than last time.

The Shield reunite to stop Braun Strowman from cashing in: Raw, Aug. 20, 2018

Opinion: I’m split on this one. I like the idea of the cash-in being announced in advance to spice things up a bit, but at the same time, Strowman is likely losing and that’s going to be it for his time on top. At some point he needed to win something of substance and just getting a future title shot isn’t enough. The match should be good, but I’m not thrilled with where it’s going.

What do you think of the match? Which other matches will be inside the Cell? Let us know in the comments below.
