Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage of WWE Hell In A Cell 2020.

Tonight’s PPV is the first in history to feature three Hell In A Cell’s in one night. That’s an awful lot of cage but both RAW and SamckDown have been pretty good as of late, so maybe we’ll get three awesome cell’s in a row. And those matches include Roman Reigns Vs. Jey Uso for the Universal Championship, Sasha Banks Vs. Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and Drew McIntyre Vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship.

Beyond the cell matches tonight, WWE only has three announced bouts, and one of them is on the Kick-Off Show. Those matches include Elias Vs. Jeff Hardy, Otis Vs. The Miz with the Money In The Bank contract on the line, and R-Truth Vs. Drew Gulak for the 24/7 Championship on the Kick-Off Show. It’s a little disconcerting that we have a PPV with no Tag Titles, Intercontintenal, United States, or RAW Women’s Championship on the line, but that’s where we are.

And so that’s our preview for tonight’s PPV. Hell In A Cell matches are usually fun and the three top feuds are all terrific right now, so we expect this to be a great show. Follow along here for live updates and enjoy the show!

The Miz and Morrison are interviewed backstage and asked if it was worth destroying Otis’ life for the briefcase. Miz says of course it was, that briefcase is now with someone who deserves it and can carry the company. Miz says Otis ruined his own life and now the WWE Champion can rest assured he will be waiting in the wings, waiting to cash-in again. Tucker appears and Miz thanks him, but he says it has nothing to do with Miz. Tucker says for years he has been the workhorse, the one who helped Otis get to where he is, but then he was shoved aside. He was told to let Otis shine, but without him Otis would be nothing. Otis comes running and tackles Miz and Morrison, then brawls with Tucker until Knight runs off and Otis is left screaming after him.
