Smackdown Live
Stephanie McMahon comes down to the ring. Stephanie says that she doesn’t trust WWE Universal Champion Jinder Mahal and his league of nations. She warns anyone associated with the Maharaja will defend their championship at Hell in a Cell, a way to prove their worth and loyalty to the McMahons. Shane immediately interrupts and heads to the ring. He tells Stephanie he is exhausted, confused and angry. He wants nothing more than to be home with his wife and kids.
Shane claims he can’t leave the WWE fans and performers in the hands of her and Vince, so he is staying to fight. Shane says he is taking on Vince inside Hell in a Cell at Hell in a Cell! Sasha Banks interrupts on stage, saying no one cares about their family squabble. Sasha tells Stephanie that she deserves to be in the WWE Raw Women’s Championship Match, as she has proven herself against Asuka in the past. Stephanie shoots the idea down, but Sasha tells Stephanie that her husband knew what Asuka was capable of and that Stephanie should not take her lightly. Stephanie agrees on the condition that Sasha wins her match, which is next.

Bayley’s music hits as the crowd erupts after the match. Bayley comes out on stage with a microphone. She congratulates Sasha on getting into the Raw Women’s Championship Match at Hell in a Cell. Bayley reveals she just spoke with Shane McMahon, and Bayley has been added to the match as well! Sasha is livid in the ring, having to compete to get in. Bayley then goes on to reveal that Shane also made it a 6-Woman Armageddon Hell in a Cell Match! Sasha is stunned as Bayley tells her former friend that she misses her, but will do what it takes to win the championship. A large ‘Yes!’ chant breaks out in the arena.
In Vince’s office, Lana and WWE European Champion Rusev are livid that Stephanie is making all of Jinder’s ‘protectors’ defend their belts. Vince tells Rusev to calm down because the plan is to have them face an opponent Vince trusts to hand him the belt when the time comes. Rusev doesn’t care and yells in Bulgarian as he leaves. Stephanie enters as Lana tells Vince that if Rusev doesn’t leave Hell in a Cell as champion their loyalty will be tarnished. Lana leaves as Vince complains to Stephanie about her announcement. Stephanie is more concerned about Shane’s.
A Heart to Hart
Vince says he will beat Shane because he is his father and not worried about it one bit. WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion The Hart Foundation walk in, as Vince asked them to come in. Vince isn’t happy they agreed to defend their belts against Undertaker & Kane. Vince says that if Bret was after a time portal all along, Vince could’ve spoken with Shango to use his hat. Bret spits on Vince and says he still hasn’t forgiven him for what he did in Montreal. Stephanie reminds Bret the only reason he is here is that of her. Vince also reminds Bret that even after he is gone his niece is still here.
Vince threatens to make Natalya and Tyson’s life hell long after Bret is gone unless he obeys. Bret sighs and asks what Vince wants? Vince replies nothing, but that if they lose at Hell in a Cell then his loved ones will regret it. Bret says he and Bulldog will win, but Vince tells Bulldog he will instead face Rusev for his European Championship at Hell in a Cell (meaning Bret will team with Neidhart). Vince tells the Hart’s it’s all or nothing at Hell in a Cell for his family. Bret says he could say the same for Vince before leaving.

Kurt Angle is talking with Shane McMahon in the backstage office. Angle says he feels confident in defeating Mahal at Hell in a Cell after defeating Andre the Giant. WWE Champion Braun Strowman walks in, saying that everyone is distracted and they need to focus on Bray. This confuses Shane & Kurt both, but Braun states that Bray has both Shango and Goldust. Strowman says he knows Bray as well as anyone, and that he may know where they are. Braun suggests to Shane that he schedule himself vs. the Wyatt Family tonight to keep them busy while Shane searches. Shane agrees although Kurt is reluctant sending their champion into a Handicap Match with the Waytt’s.

In the locker room, The Fashion Police are eating donuts as Shane McMahon walks in. Shane asks for their help in finding a location in the arena. The Fashion Police agree to help Shane but say they’re in the middle on an interrogation. Shane asks with who as WWE Hardcore Champion Mankind walks out of the bathroom while eating a donut (Shane finds disgusting). Shane asks what they found out, which the Fashion Police say nothing. Mankind’s information is all old, and they already knew everything he told them.
They say they made a friend though, as Mankind is upset at Vince for turning on his other personas. Mankind confirms this and says he is holding the Hardcore Championship for himself and not Vince now. Shane asks Mankind to come with them, as they may need him if things get hectic. Mankind agrees as the four take off to search for where Goldust and Shango might be.

Mahal screams at Diesel to go after Cena and Orton, but Orton hits an RKO out of nowhere onto Diesel. Mahal panics and retreats to the ring, but The Shield is waiting. Roman Spears Mahal. Dean screams asking where Seth Rollins is, but Mahal has no idea. Dean hits a Dirty Deeds onto Jinder, as the Shield then checks on Kurt Angle.
WWE Divas Champion Paige is walking backstage as she runs into Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie sarcastically asks how Paige is doing, before asking if she would like to know her opponents at Hell in a Cell? Stephanie introduces Jacqueline and Ivory. Paige says she will prove how ‘worthy’ she is as a champion, and her loyalty will be unquestioned after she scrapes the mat with the two ‘has-beens’. Ivory goes to slap Paige but Stephanie catches her wrist. Stephanie tells Paige to leave, as she does.

With the Wyatt’s all unconscious in the ring, Shane and his team are able to find the location without interruption. They are in a small, dark room somewhere in the arena’s basement. The Fashion Police have a flashlight that shows Papa Shango’s face behind them. He attacks as noise is heard of someone getting beaten up. Shane is able to find a light switch, turning it on to reveal the Fashion Police cuffed Shango. Shango begins speaking in voodoo until Mankind knocks him out cold with a trash can lid. Goldust isn’t there, but Shane says at least they got Shango. The Fashion Police go to high-five, but freeze frame before clapping hands. Shane calls them weird and leaves as Mankind grabs Shango.
