Roman Reigns vs. Rusev Announced for WWE Hell in a Cell 2016 PPV

Joseph ZuckerOct 3, 2016

The feud between Rusev and United States champion Roman Reigns will likely culminate at WWE Hell in a Cell 2016 on Oct. 30 in Boston.

Reigns told Rusev on Monday night's edition of Raw that he'll put his U.S. title on the line in a Hell in a Cell match.

WWE shared a replay of his challenge on Twitter:

Bleacher Report's Mike Chiari questioned whether Rusev and Reigns needed another pay-per-view match to conclude the business they have with each other:

The two wrestled at Clash of Champions last month, with Reigns taking the United States Championship off the Bulgarian Brute. They were originally set to meet at SummerSlam, but Reigns attacked Rusev before the bell and forced a no-contest.

To a certain extent, the story has suffered from the dynamic between Rusev and Reigns. As Wrestling Memes argued, WWE has put Rusev in a position of moral superiority over Reigns—the opposite of what it was attempting to portray:

Things turned personal when Reigns interrupted Rusev and Lana's wedding celebration on Raw in August. Entering the ring unprovoked and insulting Lana in order to get a title shot isn't exactly babyface behavior.

Reigns and Rusev are a great combination in the ring, though. Rusev is at his best when he's facing opponents who can rival his strength and physicality. Reigns, meanwhile, is great at selling a beatdown over the course of a match.

They put on a good performance at Clash of Champions, and there's little reason to expect anything less at Hell in a Cell.
