background
In the run-up to the event, eight matches were scheduled, one of which was for the pre-show . These resulted from the storylines shown in the weeks leading up to Backlash on SmackDown Live , one of WWE's weekly shows.
Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin versus The Hype Bros
After Jason Jordan switched to Raw to start a storyline with Kurt Angle , the American Alpha tag team that Jordan formed with Chad Gable was split up. On August 22, 2017, Shelton Benjamin, returning to WWE, was introduced as Gables' new partner. He was last active for the WWE in 2010, a return planned since August 2016 failed due to a real shoulder injury by Benjamin.
On August 29, 2017, Benjamin and Gable played their first match together, defeating The Ascension ( Konnor and Viktor ). Another win against The Hype Bros ( Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder ) followed on September 12, 2017 . After this match there was a handshake between Rawley, Benjamin and Gable, but Ryder refused.

Randy Orton versus Rusev
Also at SummerSlam allowed Randy Orton his rival Rusev defeat within ten seconds. On September 19, 2017, there was a rematch between the two at SmackDown Live, in which Rusev defeated Orton within a very short time. Orton himself had already played a - successful - match against Aiden English on the same evening .
On September 26, 2017, Rusev and English celebrated this victory over Orton, after which they were attacked by this. Therefore, another match between Orton and Rusev was scheduled for Hell in a Cell . In the final SmackDown Live episode before Hell in a Cell , Orton defeated Aiden English.
AJ Styles, Baron Corbin and Tye Dillinger in a triple threat match
After his feud with Kevin Owens ended , AJ Styles , winner of the WWE United States Championship , presented an Open Challenge to all members of the roster who wanted to compete for his title on SmackDown Live on August 29, 2017 . This was answered by Tye Dillinger , to the disadvantage of Baron Corbin , who also wanted to accept the challenge. After the match he launched an attack against Dillinger, but was repelled by the victorious Styles.
The following week, Corbin defeated Dillinger in an individual match. On September 12, 2017 there was another title match between Styles and Dillinger. Corbin wanted to intervene, but Styles prevented it with a phenomenal forearm and then won the match. After the match, Corbin attacked both participants. The following week there was to be a match between Styles and Corbin for the title, but this did not materialize due to an attack by Corbin on his opponent and by Dillinger on Corbin himself.
On September 26, 2017, a match for the title between Styles and Corbin was scheduled at Hell in a Cell . In the final SmackDown Live edition before the event, Dillinger defeated Corbin in another individual match. For the title match, Dillinger was only added to Hell in a Cell himself.
Natalya versus Charlotte Flair
After Natalya had taken the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship from her opponent Naomi at SummerSlam and defended the title in a rematch against them at the edition of SmackDown Live on September 12, 2017, she interrupted Charlotte Flair, who returned after a break, the following week . Flair immediately challenged her to a title match, but initially a fatal four-way match between her, Becky Lynch , Naomi and Tamina was scheduled to determine a challenger for the title at Hell in a Cell . That match won Flair.
Charlotte Flair was allowed to defeat Carmella in a single match on September 26, 2017 , after which she was confronted and provoked by Natalya. A week later, Carmella and Natalya competed on one side against Flair and Becky Lynch on the other. Natalya forced Flair to give up in her Sharpshooter .

On September 26, 2017, Nakamura attacked his rival and his allies. In the following week he was attacked again by them.
Dolph Ziggler versus Bobby Roode
Dolph Ziggler mimicked other wrestlers' entries on SmackDown Live for several weeks . The background was that Ziggler in his role as Heel wanted to show the audience that they would be more interested in special entries than good performances in the ring, and that he was the best wrestler in the WWE. On September 26, 2017, he was confronted by Bobby Roode , who made his debut in the main roaster , who challenged Ziggler to a match at Hell in a Cell , which he accepted.

During the match, the frustrated Owens attacked McMahon, who resisted and allowed Styles to defend his title. On the following edition of SmackDown Live, Owens was given one last chance to win the title and was also allowed to choose a referee. He chose Baron Corbin . During the match, however, this left the ring, so that McMahon took over this task himself again. Styles took advantage of it again this time and defeated Owens.
Two weeks later, McMahon attacked Owens after he - despite warning - talked badly about his children. For this reason, McMahon was suspended from the storyline by order of chairman Vince McMahon , who was also his father. Another week later, Vince McMahon scheduled a Hell-in-a-Cell match between his son and Owens at the event of the same name. He was then attacked by Owens. In the following weeks there were multiple confrontations between the two.
On September 26, 2017 Owens met his arch-rival Sami Zayn in a match , which he won after an apron powerbomb by a referee.

Main Event

Owens subsequently tried to escape by climbing back down the cage, but was followed by McMahon. Owens then fell from about halfway up the cage through one of the commentary desks on the cage. Then McMahon placed his opponent on another commentator's desk and wanted to show a leap of faith , a jump from the roof of the cage on his opponent. However, this was prevented by Sami Zayn , who pulled Owens from the desk at the last moment, which is why McMahon himself fell through this. In the end, Zayn, who was turned into a heel, helped his former rival Owens to victory.
After the event

Zayn explained his actions by saying that he had been tired of it since he switched to the “Land of Opportunity” ( German: “Land of Opportunities”), but had never received his opportunities.
