The dangerous Hell in a Cell comes early this year! Tonight is a night for vengeance, and it also involves championships inside the Hell in the Cell! Bobby Lashley defends the WWE Championship for the last time against Drew McIntyre in the Hell in a Cell structure. Bayley challenges Bianca Belair inside the Cell for the SmackDown Women's Title. Plus, Charlotte Flair faces Rhea Ripley for the Raw Women's Title! Join us for a live recap of WWE Hell in a Cell tonight starting with the pre-show at 7 PM ET/6 Central on social media, and the main PPV at 8 PM ET on Peacock (USA) and the WWE Network (worldwide). Hit F5 or refresh as often as you like for the latest updates.

The Kickoff comes on at 7 PM ET this time along with Kayla Braxton, Jerry "The King" Lawler, JBL and Peter Rosenberg. Sonya Deville joins the panel to discuss some of the matches as well. Sami Zayn gets interviewed and talks about karma, hoping that Kevin Owens will get karmic justice.

* Mandy Rose vs. Natalya {WWE Women's Tag Team Champion}

Dana Brooke is in Mandy's corner, and Tamina comes out to support Natalya for the match. Both Mandy and Natalya get headlock takeovers and get countered, Mandy rolls her up for 2, and what follows is a series of grappling holds and counter-holds, and Mandy rolls her up schoolboy for 2. Natalya slips off the fireman's carry position and goes for the arm, Mandy reaches the ropes, and uses the top rope to gain the advantage. Mandy clocks her with a right hand getting a 2-count then puts her in the body scissors, but Natalya counters with a dead-lift body slam. Nattie is unable to capitalize because Mandy is back on top with an octopus stretch, but Natalya counters with an abdominal stretch, and Mandy counters into her own ab stretch. Natalya slings her off, side-steps her in a corner, slams her down, steps across her back, hits the basement dropkick and gets a 2-count. Mandy goes to the top rope, connects with a missile dropkick, rolls her over, and gets a near-fall. Natalya blocks the double underhook, inside cradle for 2, clotheslines her, and gets another two-count. Mandy does a backslide for 2, hits the big knee, covers for 2.5, and Mandy can't believe it. Natalya with an O'Connor roll for 2, Mandy counters for 2, Natalya goes for the cross armbreaker, and Mandy reaches the ropes. Natalya bridges up from a jackknife pin, goes for the Sharpshooter, and Mandy taps! WINNER: NATALYA!

Does this mean that Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke lose any chance for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships? Well, the champs seem to think so as they stand tall in the ring. Back to the Kickoff panel to finish up before the main PPV. And with that, the Hell in a Cell is coming down at the top of the hour for the SmackDown Women's Title bout!

The final PPV in the ThunderDone is underway! We get a video package highlighting the feud betwen Baylay and Bianca over the title. The Hell in a Cell has lowered and all that's left are the competitors to enter the structure.

* SmackDown Women's Championship - Hell in a Cell Match: Bayley vs. Bianca Belair {C}

They start with the trash-talking before Bianca slams her twice and clotheslines her. Bayley walks around the ring to catch a break, and eventually pulls out a couple of steel chairs. Bayley keeps Bianca away from one of the chairs, Bianca rolls her up twice, Bayley grabs the chair again, so Bianca uses her braid as a weapon, then dropkicks her and kips up. Bianca props her up on the turnbuckles, Bayley blocks a superplex, Bianca backflips and lands on her feet, gets back up top, but Bayley drops her, throws her shoulder-first into the ringpost, and gets a 2-count. Bayley goes to work on the left shoulder of the champion and puts her in an armbar then covers for 2.

Bayley hits an armbreaker, brings the top half of the steel steps into the ring, hits a couple elbow drops, yells at Michael Cole, and Bianca drops her on the steps. Bayley hits a running knee, gets a 2-count, ties Bianca's braid round the bottom rope, but Bianca trips her onto the steps, then launches the steps out the ring - luckily for Bayley she moved out the way. Bianca rams Bayley's head into the Cell, but Bayley BITES Bianca to stop her! Bayley grabs a double kendo stick and hits her in the ribs, then does a sunset flip bomb into the Cell! Bayley brings out two pairs of kendo sticks taped together, tells Michael Cole to shut up as he was explaining what she's doing, Bianca chases Bayley around the ring, and slams her with a spinebuster onto the sticks! Bianca gets a 2-count in the ring, hits her on the back with the chair, Bayley kicks the chair into her face, puts Bianca's arm through the chair and tries to break it. Bayley sits in the chair, knots Bianca's braid on the bottom bar, laughs at her, but Bianca fights back and blocks the knee with the chair.

Bianca ties her own braid around Bayley's wrist, hits shoulder blocks, snapmare, drags her out the ring into the Cell, hits her with the kendo stick, rams her into the Cell, and unties herself. Bayley pleads with the ref outside the ring to open the door, Bianca kicks her into the cell, rams her head into it, and now she starts laughing. Bayley drags a ladder from under the ring, hits Bianca in the gut with it, the do a tug-of-war with the ladder, and Bianca shoves her into the turnbuckle. Bayley traps her in the ladder, hits the Rose Plant with Bianca trapped in the ladder, but hurts her knee in the process. Bianca starts to roll away, Bayley drags her back under the ropes, and covers for 2.9! Bianca rolls her up for 2, Bayley counters using the ropes for 2, Bianca goes for a backslide, Bayley blocks it, Bianca hits the Glam Slam into the top turnbuckle, places the ladder on top of Bayley, goes up top, Bayley rolls out of the way onto the ladder, so Bianca hits a senton across Bayley's back over the ladder. BIANCA HITS THE K.O.D. ON THE LADDER FOR 3!! WINNER and STILL SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPION: BIANCA BELAIR!

Bianca Belair gets interviewed after the match, and says she will never forgive Bayley for her actions. The All Mighty WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is backstage partying with the ladies, but MVP tells him to get in the zone for his match tonight.

Alexa Bliss talks about putting her doll Lilly in time-out for tormenting Shayna Baszler, issues a warning for anyone knocking on her door, and that's that.

From there, we go to a video package for the feud between Seth Rollins and Cesaro. As Cesaro makes his way to the ring, Seth Rollins attacks him from behind and the scrap all the way to the ring! Once the ref gets control, the match finally begins officially.

Cesaro throws him into the barricade, hits a running uppercut, throws him back into the ring, goes up top, hits a diving axe handle, covers for 1, punches Rollins with left and right body blows, and uppercuts in the corner. Rollins hits a flatliner into the turnbuckles, thumb to the eye, drops him with a DDT, and gets a 1-count. Rollins takes control now as Cesaro keeps checking to make sure his eye is okay.

WINNER: SETH ROLLINS!

We get the official commercial for WWE Money in the Bank on Sunday, July 18 in front of a live crowd in Fort Worth, Texas. Now we have to relive the utter BS between Shayna and the Lilly doll again. Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax and Reginald all show up for a pre-match interview. Shayna says since Alexa likes playing with dolls, she likes hurting people, so tonight she will hurt Alexa. Reginald tries to hold Shayna's hand, but she slaps him before heading to the ring with them accompanying her to ringside.

Alexa glares at her, Reginald gets on the apron, Shayna strikes and tees off on Alexa in a corner. Alexa eventually gains control over her with a stare and a flipping senton, covers for 2, Reginald gets on the apron again, Shayna attacks from behind then hits a jumping knee. Alexa laughs at her, Shayna hits a gutwrench suplex, covers for 2, and Alexa laughs some more.

Sami Zayn goes over to the announce table to yell at Michael Cole about him not believing that he'd win. We get a nice message about being a good dad, and Happy Father's Day. Speaking of fathers, we go back to Friday Night SmackDown where Rey Mysterio fought for his son, challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship inside of Hell in a Cell. Reigns retained his title making Rey tap out, and Jimmy Uso arrived to raise Roman's arm in victory. The WWE Champion is now getting himself ready for the big match later.

* Raw Women's Championship: Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley {C}

Charlotte takes the championship from the referee and throws it at Rhea to get in her head. The bell dings and Charlotte rolls her up quickly for 2. Rhea rolls out the ring to clear her head, gets back in, Charlotte goes on the attack, Rhea slams her head on turnbuckle and punches her in the corner. Rhea hits the big boot, goes up top, Charlotte cuts her off, stomps her down, then puts her in a chinlock.

Ripley still kicked out even as Flair was putting her foot on the ropes.

Ripley hits an exploder suplex but can't recover quick enough, so Flair hits a backbreaker and sends her face-first into the turnbuckles. Ripley rolls away from the top rope moonsault, but Flair connects with a second moonsault immediately after.

Ripley rips the cover of the announce table into Flair's face and that foreign object causes a disqualification. WINNER via DQ: CHARLOTTE FLAIR; however, STILL RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION: RHEA RIPLEY.

The fight continues back in the ring with nothing to gain, and Rhea hits the RIPTIDE in the middle of the ring. Rhea Ripley seems proud of her actions, and Charlotte laughs it off. This is not over. It's now time for the main event and the Hell in a Cell structure lowers once again. MVP joins Lashley to the ring, but obviously he does not enter the Cell with the WWE Champion.

* WWE Championship - Hell in a Cell Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley {C}

McIntyre and Lashley have an intense staredown before the bell, even during the title match introductions while the referee tries his best to keep them separate. Finally the bell dings, they never take their eyes off the other, Lashley exits the ring to look for something, but McIntyre is all over him raking his face across the fence. McIntyre rams his back into the Cell, throws him into the ringpost, takes off the top half of the steps, but Lashley kicks him to prevent anything. Lashley shoves his face against the Cell, McIntyre suplexes him into the Cell wall and Lashley drops straight down! McIntyre wallops the champ in the head with the steps, hits him again with it, then finally drops it.

Back in the ring, Lashley blocks the Future Shock, McIntyre boots him in the face, delivers the belly-to-belly suplex, they're outside the ring again, and McIntyre hits him on the back with a kendo stick, then uses the kendo stick to hit a Russian legsweep into the Cell. McIntyre brings out a table from under the ring and props it against the Cell wall, but Lashley uses MVP's cane and hits him in the throat with it! Lashley finally has his moment of offense, slams him into the Cell, but McIntyre picks him up and plants him with the air raid crash onto the stairs! McIntyre brings out another table, sets it up at ringside, repeatedly slams the champ into the Cell, stands on the stairs for a suplex, but Lashley chops him in the throat and headbutts him over and over.

Lashley whips him into the Cell but McIntyre bounces off for a clothesline, slams his head on the steps, throws a few steel chairs into the ring, wedges one into the corner, and MVP warns him from ringside. McIntyre hits the reverse Alabama Slam onto a chair, covers for a near-fall, whacks him on the back with the chair, goes up top with the chair, but Lashley counters, McIntyre blocks the Hurt Lock, plants him with a spinebuster for 2, plants him with a sit-out powerbomb and gets another near-fall! McIntyre kicks him out the ring, stalks him with the steps to hit him in the head with it again, but then Lashley shoves the steps into McIntyre's face against the Cell. Lashley finds the All Mighty intensity to stave off of his challenger and grabs the kendo stick.

MVP helps Lashley trap McIntyre in a corner of the Hell in a Cell with the kendo stick and tees off on him with body blows and heavy hands, then counters a clothesline with the flatliner on the floor. Back in the ring, Lashley sets up a chair and gives him flatliner onto the seat, and does it again for more impact. MVP tells Lashley to get sadistic as he grabs the kendo stick and viciously smacks him with it, but McIntyre is firing up! McIntyre grabs the stick, hits the Glasgow Kiss headbutt, hits him with the chair, Lashley shoves him away, the referee gets knocked down by a chair, McIntyre throws him into the wedged chair, plants him with the Future Shock DDT, but there's no ref, then he hits the CLAYMORE! The ref from the outside gets in the ring to make the count, but MVP pulls him out to stop the count!

MVP tries to escape but the door is locked once again and he's trapped, so McIntyre gets his hands on the man and flattens him with the CLAYMORE as well! McIntyre isn't done however, so he picks him up, but Lashley locks in the HURT LOCK, and McIntyre backs Lashley all the way through the table against the Cell! McIntyre rolls him back into the ring, drags him away from the ropes, and hits him with the chair over and over and over and over again. Lashley ducks the Claymore, shoves him back into the turnbuckle, then chokes slams him THROUGH THE TABLE at ringside! Lashley brings him back into the ring, stalks his opponent, McIntyre side-steps the spear, backslide for 2, hits the Glasgow Kiss headbutt, and hits the Future Shock DDT! MVP grabs McIntyre's leg, Lashley with a schoolboy rollup, grabs the tights, and gets the 1-2-3! WINNER and STILL WWE CHAMPION: "THE ALL MIGHTY" BOBBY LASHLEY!!

What a match with a cluster ending! Per the stipulations, Drew McIntyre cannot receive another title match as long as Lashley is the WWE Champion. Happy Father's Day, and happy first day of summer. The next PPV will be in front of a live crowd once again. Until then, good night and goodbye ThunderDome!
