Hell in a Cell (2020) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view and IWE Network event produced by IWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It is scheduled to take place on October 25, 2020 (originally November 1) at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. It will be the twelfth event under the Hell in a Cell chronology and will feature IWE's virtual fan viewing experience called ThunderDome.

Production

Background

Hell in a Cell is an annual gimmick pay-per-view, generally produced every October by IWE since 2009. The concept of the show comes from IWE's established Hell in a Cell match, in which competitors fight inside a 20-foot-high roofed cell structure surrounding the ring and ringside area. The main event match of the card is contested under the Hell in a Cell stipulation. The 2020 event will be the twelfth event under the Hell in a Cell chronology and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, IWE presented the majority of its programming from the IWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida since mid-March with no fans in attendance, although in late May, the promotion began using Performance Center trainees to serve as the live audience, which was further expanded to friends and family members of the wrestlers in mid-June. On August 17, IWE announced that all future shows and pay-per-views would be held at the Amway Center, a larger venue also located in Orlando, for the "foreseeable future", beginning with the August 21 episode of SmackDown. Furthermore, the shows now feature a new fan viewing experience called "ThunderDome", which utilizes drones, lasers, pyro, smoke, and projections. Approximately one thousand LED boards were installed in the Amway Center to allow fans to virtually attend the events for free and be seen on the rows and rows of LED boards. Arena audio is also mixed with that of the virtual fans so that chants from the fans can be heard. Hell in a Cell itself was originally scheduled to be held on November 1, but was moved up to October 25, reportedly due to IWE's current contract with the Amway Center expiring on October 31.

Storylines

The show will comprise matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.

1 Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Jey Uso Hell in a Cell "I Quit" match for the IWE Universal Championship

Notes

a. ^ The event will be held without a paying audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, though it will still feature a live crowd of virtual fans via IWE's ThunderDome viewing experience.
