Hell in a Cell (2022)

Hell in a Cell is a gimmick event produced annually by WWE since 2009. The concept of the show comes from the promotion'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.[1][2][3] The 2022 event will be the 14th event under the Hell in a Cell chronology and will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. With the exception of the September 2018 event, Hell in a Cell had been held in October. The 2021 event, however, moved the event series up to June, with the 2022 event scheduled for June 5 at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. It will air on pay-per-view (PPV) worldwide and the streaming services Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in international markets.[4]

The show will include 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 WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[5][6] while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[7]
