Another major feud playing out in the WWE pits [[CM Punk]] against [[Paul Heyman]] and his wrestler clients, whom he dubs "Paul Heyman guys". At the [[Money in the Bank (2013)|Money in the Bank]] pay-per-view in July, while still posing as his supporter, Heyman [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Turn|betrayed]] Punk and cost him the Money in the Bank ladder match for a future WWE Championship match. This started a rivalry that soon brought Heyman's client, [[Brock Lesnar]], into the fray, leading to a [[Professional wrestling match types#No Disqualification match|No Disqualification match]] between Lesnar and Punk at SummerSlam, which the former won with Heyman's help. At Night of Champions the next month, in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Handicap match|2-on-1 handicap]] [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic elimination matches|elimination]] No Disqualification match, Punk eliminated [[Curtis Axel]] (another Heyman client), before beating down Heyman himself. However, [[Ryback]] interfered in the match and put Punk through a table, allowing Heyman to pin him and win the match. As the newest "Paul Heyman guy", Ryback faced Punk at Battleground, but lost the match, when Punk pinned him after hitting a [[Below the belt#Low blow|low blow]] behind the referee's back. This loss irked both Heyman and Ryback, and it was officially announced on WWE.com on October 9, that Punk will face off against Ryback in a rematch at Hell in a Cell. On the October 14th episode of Raw, Heyman attempted to convince Maddox to turn the encounter into a 2-on-1 handicap match, with Axel teaming with Ryback. Instead, Maddox set up a "beat the clock" contest in two matches featuring Punk and Ryback individually, with the wrestler to win his match in shorter time than the other to pick the stipulation for their match at Hell in a Cell. Though Ryback defeated [[Ron Killings|R-Truth]] in a time of 5:44, Punk defeated Axel with 11 seconds to spare, thus "beating the clock". As result of this victory, Punk himself added Heyman to the match as Ryback's partner, additionally making it a Hell in a Cell match, at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. |

Hell in a Cell (2013) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE and sponsored by WWE 2K14. It will take place on October 27, 2013 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.[1] It will be the fifth annual Hell in a Cell event.
Background
Hell in a Cell will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and story lines that have been played out on WWE's primary television programs. Wrestlers will portray villains or heroes as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[2]
The main feud heading into Hell in a Cell is between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton over the vacant WWE Championship. After defeating John Cena to win the WWE title at SummerSlam in August, Bryan was betrayed by the special referee of that match, Triple H, which allowed Orton to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract and win the championship. In their rematch at Night of Champions in September, Bryan defeated Orton to win back the title, albeit with the referee Scott Armstrong deciding the pinfall with a very fast count. This controversial ending to the match resulted in Armstrong's (kayfabe) firing and Bryan being stripped from the WWE Championship by Triple H the next night on Raw. Bryan and Orton's next scheduled encounter for the now-vacant title on pay-per-view at Battleground on October 6 ended in a no contest after Big Show interfered and attacked both wrestlers and the referees, including a returning Scott Armstrong. With still no WWE Champion yet, on the October 7 edition of Raw, general manager Brad Maddox announced that Bryan and Orton will again compete against each other for the vacant WWE title in Hell in a Cell and with a special referee for the audience to choose from amongst WWE Hall of Famers Booker T, Bob Backlund and Shawn Michaels; Michaels won the vote.
After defeating Rob Van Dam in a Hardcore Rules match at Battleground to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto Del Rio tried to coerce SmackDown general manager Vickie Guerrero on the October 7 edition of Raw to formally announce him as the "face of the WWE", making his case saying he was the only World Champion in the company at the moment (the WWE Championship being vacant) and without any new challenger in sight. Later in the evening, during his match with his formal personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, Vickie announced that Del Rio will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against a returning John Cena - who has been out of action since SummerSlam due to an elbow injury - at Hell in a Cell.
Another major feud playing out in the WWE pits CM Punk against Paul Heyman and his wrestler clients, whom he dubs "Paul Heyman guys". At the Money in the Bank pay-per-view in July, while still posing as his supporter, Heyman betrayed Punk and cost him the Money in the Bank ladder match for a future WWE Championship match. This started a rivalry that soon brought Heyman's client, Brock Lesnar, into the fray, leading to a No Disqualification match between Lesnar and Punk at SummerSlam, which the former won with Heyman's help. At Night of Champions the next month, in a 2-on-1 handicap elimination No Disqualification match, Punk eliminated Curtis Axel (another Heyman client), before beating down Heyman himself. However, Ryback interfered in the match and put Punk through a table, allowing Heyman to pin him and win the match. As the newest "Paul Heyman guy", Ryback faced Punk at Battleground, but lost the match, when Punk pinned him after hitting a low blow behind the referee's back. This loss irked both Heyman and Ryback, and it was officially announced on WWE.com on October 9, that Punk will face off against Ryback in a rematch at Hell in a Cell. On the October 14th episode of Raw, Heyman attempted to convince Maddox to turn the encounter into a 2-on-1 handicap match, with Axel teaming with Ryback. Instead, Maddox set up a "beat the clock" contest in two matches featuring Punk and Ryback individually, with the wrestler to win his match in shorter time than the other to pick the stipulation for their match at Hell in a Cell. Though Ryback defeated R-Truth in a time of 5:44, Punk defeated Axel with 11 seconds to spare, thus "beating the clock". As result of this victory, Punk himself added Heyman to the match as Ryback's partner, additionally making it a Hell in a Cell match, at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
At Night of Champions, AJ Lee defeated Brie Bella, Natalya and Naomi to retain her WWE Divas Championship when she made Natalya submit. At WWE Battleground, Brie Bella received a rematch against AJ Lee, but lost when Tamina Snuka attacked Brie's sister Nikki, causing a distraction for AJ to win the match. On the October 18 episode of SmackDown, Brie defeated AJ in a non-title match. The following week, on the October 21 episode of Raw, Brie pinned Lee during a tag team match and earned another opportunity for the Divas Championship.
On the October 14th edition of Raw, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns of The Shield) to win the WWE Tag Team Championship. The next week, Rollins and Reigns fought The Usos for the number one contendership to a no contest due to Rhodes and Goldust (who was on commentary during this match) fighting a taunting [[Dean Ambrose. All three teams were inserted, making it a triple threat match, by Triple H.
The Kickoff will feature Curtis Axel defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Big E Langston. On the October 18th episode of SmackDown, Big E Langston lost a match to CM Punk. Paul Heyman called Langston a "no good rookie", and Langston turned face when he saved Punk from an attack by Ryback and Axel. On the October 21st episode of Raw, Langston interrupted an interview between the three and challenged Axel to a match, which he accepted. Before the match began, he was jumped by Ryback and Axel and after fending them off was attacked by Heyman with a kendo stick. Punk made the save and he and Langston defeated Axel and Ryback in a tag team match. With the victory, Langston earned a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.
