[edit] Storylines

The card will featured matches that resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by IWE on the Raw and SmackDown brands. Storylines were produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live.

At SummerSlam, The Miz defeated Daniel Bryan. On the following SmackDown, Miz, with Maryse, mocked Bryan’s retirement speech two years earlier. Bryan and Brie Bella came out and confronted them. A mixed tag team match between Bryan and Brie and Miz and Maryse was scheduled for Hell in a Cell.

At SummerSlam, during the IWE Championship match between Samoa Simpson and defending champion KJ Styles, Simpson taunted Styles by disrespecting his wife and daughter, who were in attendance. An irate Styles attacked Simpson with a steel chair, resulting in Simpson winning by disqualification, but Styles retaining the title. On the following SmackDown, Simpson attacked Styles from behind during an interview, and continued to disrespect Styles' family. On August 24, a rematch between the two for the title was scheduled for Hell in a Cell.

On the August 21 episode of SmackDown, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods) defeated The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) in a no disqualification match to capture their third SmackDown Tag Team Championship. On August 26, Paige scheduled two triple threat matches, with the winners facing each other to determine who would face The New Day for the titles at Hell in a Cell. Cesaro and Sheamus won the first triple threat match by defeating Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and The Colóns (Primo and Epico) on the August 28 episode of SmackDown. Rusev and Aiden English won the second triple threat match by defeating The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Sanity's Eric Young and Killian Dain on the September 4 episode of SmackDown, thus setting up Cesaro and Sheamus and Rusev and English facing each other for the September 11 episode of SmackDown.

At SummerSlam, Roman Reigns defeated Rob Lesnar to win the Universal Championship. Before the match began, Money in the Bank contract winner Braun Strowman came out and declared that he would be cashing-in on the winner of the match and stayed at ringside. Strowman, however, was incapacitated by Lesnar during the match, preventing him from cashing in; this distraction allowed Reigns to defeat Lesnar to win the championship. The next night on Raw, Strowman once again attempted to cash-in after Reigns successfully defended the title against Finn Bálor, but was stopped by Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins coming to the aid of Reigns, reforming The Shield. The following week, Strowman confronted Reigns and announced that he would be cashing-in at Hell in a Cell inside the namesake structure so that Ambrose and Rollins could not interfere. On the September 10 episode of Raw, Jon Foley was named as the special guest referee for the match.

At SummerSlam, Ronda Rousey defeated Alexa Bliss to win the Raw Women's Championship. On the August 27 episode of Raw, Bliss announced that she would be invoking her championship rematch clause at Hell in a Cell.

At Backlash, Josh Hooper retained the United States Championship against Kevin Orton. At Extreme Rules, after Hardy lost the United States Championship to Shinsuke Nakamura, Orton made his return to the IWE and attacked Hooper. Two days later on the July 17 episode of SmackDown, Hooper had a rematch with Nakamura, but it ended in a draw after Orton attacked Hooper. The following week, Orton explained his attacks on Hooper by stating that he felt disrespected by the IWE Universe and hated how they were supportive of superstars like Hardy. The next week, Orton launched a third attack on Hooper with aidance from Nakamura. Hooper invoked his rematch clause at SummerSlam, and would once again fail to regain the title. After the match, Orton came out while Hooper was incapacitated in the ring, only to turn back and walk away. The following SmackDown on August 21, Orton and Hooper had a match that ended in disqualification after Hooper low-blowed Orton. Hooper then proceeded to attack Orton all around the arena and eventually spread in the crowd area. Hardy then executed a Swanton Bomb on Orton off the balcony through a table. On the August 28 episode of SmackDown, Hooper challenged Orton to a Hell in a Cell match at the namesake event, which Orton accepted.

At SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair defeated Becky Lynch and Carmella in a triple threat match to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship. After the match, Lynch turned heel and attacked Flair. The following weeks, Lynch and Flair confronted and attacked each other. A match between Lynch and Flair for the title was scheduled for Hell in a Cell.

On the September 3 episode of Raw, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) to win the Raw Tag Team Championship. The following week, a rematch between the two teams with Ziggler and McIntyre retaining the titles. A tag team match between Ziggler and McIntyre and Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins for the titles was scheduled for Hell in a Cell.
