"WWE: Then. Now. Forever." We get the opening to SmackDown, before Rich welcomes us to downtown Cincinnati for "Thursday Night SmackDown." We find out that Dolph Ziggler faces Rusev with Summer Rae as special guest referee, and our main event is Dean Ambrose teaming with the Dudley Boyz to take on The New Day.
Roman Reigns makes his way through the crowd to the ring, looking ready for his match against Bo Dallas as we go back to Monday Night, and Roman fighting back the Wyatt Family to get a count out victory over Braun Strowman. We're not far from Hell in a Cell, when Roman Reigns takes on Bray Wyatt inside the demonic Cell.
Bo Dallas makes his way out, microphone in hand. He tells Roman there's nothing wrong with being scared. At Hell in a Cell, Roman's going up against a man he's lost to time after time after time. Bo knows all about scary situations; he went to Suplex City, but unlike Roman Reigns he survived. He knows there is only one way Roman is leaving Hell in a Cell, and that is in a body bag…and you can "BOlieve that."
Roman Reigns vs. Bo Dallas
Roman gets on Bo early on, hitting him hard before looking for the Samoan Drop. Bo gets out, but is met with a right hand to the face. Roman charges at Bo in the corner, but Bo kicks him in the face and starts a comeback before being nailed with a clothesline by Roman. Bo gets up, and Roman tosses him in the corner before hitting him hard with some punches. He goes for one more but Bo begs mercy on Roman Reigns, looking for a timeout. Bo extends a hand, and Roman accepts…but Bo kicks him in the gut! Roman is still holding on, not looking too pleased before dropping Bo Dallas with a Samoan Drop. He sets up, and hits Bo Dallas with the Superman Punch followed by the Spear for a quick win!
Winner via pinfall: Roman Reigns
Roman looks on before he starts speaking. Bray Wyatt says he's the devil, and Roman couldn't agree more. He sees the good in people, but when he looks in Bray's eyes he sees pure evil. In less tan two weeks e will meet the devil inside the cell, and he is bringing the big fight…because the only way to stop the devil is to ride straight into Hell. Bray Wyatt interrupts, telling Roman his sins will be is undoing. Not the sins of vanity, but the sin of pride that will be is ending. He is neither Bray's master nor his mule. Next Monday night on RAW, e will deliver unto Roman a prophecy: "anyone but you, Roman…anyone but you."
