WWE announces loaded go-home show for Hell in a Cell pay-per-view
With WWE ratings at historic lows, the company has announced a loaded up go-home show for Hell in a Cell.
The final Raw before the PPV, on October 19th from the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, TX, has announced a lineup for the show that includes Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair along with Hell in a Cell headliners Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. With the go-home Raw being in Dallas, and it being the final show in the market until WrestleMania, it is expected that significant WrestleMania 32 news will come out of that event.
Raw on Monday, September 21st, drew just 3.34 million viewers, down from the 3.39 million that the show drew the week prior. Worse, the show lost viewers as it went on, finishing with just 3.26 million in the third hour. John Cena defending the WWE United States Title versus Seth Rollins was the main event.
Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match headlines the October 19th PPV.
