The WWE Championship Match at Hell in a Cell was made official Monday on RAW as Vince McMahon decided that CM Punk will defend his belt against Ryback. After both competitors signed their Hell in a Cell contract, Ryback delivered the Shell Shock to the WWE Champion.
As a result of the growing animosity between Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio, it was also announced that the two competitors will face off at the pay-per-view event. The Viper gave a surprise attack to Del Rio on SmackDown last week before RKO’ing Ricardo Rodriguez onto the announce table.
The announced card for Hell in a Cell, which takes place Oct. 28 at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, is as follows:
WWE Title Match:
CM Punk vs. Ryback
World Title Match:
Sheamus vs. The Big Show
WWE Tag Team Title Match:
Team Hell No (c) vs. Rhodes Scholars or Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara
