Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch official for WWE Hell in a Cell
Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch is official for this month’s pay-per-view, but it wasn’t announced as taking place inside Hell in a Cell.
Charlotte defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Lynch was officially added to the card for the Hell in a Cell PPV tonight.

Lynch challenged Charlotte to the title match after attacking her on SmackDown last week. On tonight’s show, they furthered their storyline during a split-screen interview with Tom Phillips. Lynch vowed to take the title from Charlotte, while Charlotte asked what Lynch’s excuse will be when she loses this time.
