Two matches promising thrills and spills will take place inside WWE's infamous Hell in a Cell this Sunday night.
The SmackDown pay-per-view of the same name will see the company's top daredevil Shane McMahon return to the ring.
The blue brand's commissioner and son of WWE chairman Vince McMahon will battle the vicious upstart Kevin Owens.
Meanwhile, the SmackDown tag titles will be defended as The New Day and The Usos look to settle one of the feuds of the year.
Here is all you need to know ahead of the big event.

What is the main event?
It's not clear at this stage which match will close the show, with either Jinder Mahal's defence of his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura or Shane McMahon's Hell in a Cell clash with Kevin Owens the two contenders for the main event spot.
The underwhelming Mahal retained his title against Nakamura in a poor match at SummerSlam, due to a distraction from The Singh Brothers. He has since mocked Nakamura's facial expressions and accent in a controversial and some would say unacceptable promo. Will he get his comeuppance with a title reign ending Kinshasa?
Owens has meanwhile infuriated Shane with similarly incendiary comments, suggesting his family would have been better off if he had died in his recent helicopter crash. To rub salt in the wounds, he then attacked his dad Vince McMahon! It's safe to say this bout will be an all-out war.
What about the women's title?
SmackDown Women's Champion Natalya defends her title against Charlotte Flair in a match between two of the best female athletes in the company. This pairing have barely scratched the surface yet, although Natalya has fired up Flair with some choice remarks about her father Ric, who is recovering from serious illness.
Will there be a tag team title match?
Yes, and it may well steal the show! The New Day and The Usos have enjoyed a brilliant rivalry this summer, with enthralling matches at Money in the Bank, Battleground (when The New Day captured The Usos' belts) and at SummerSlam. This decider should be a tour de force.
What are the other key matches on the card?
Dolph Ziggler has returned to action and spent weeks mocking stars who rely on their flamboyant entrances to gain fan support, rather than their in-ring prowess. Logically he has then been challenged by the man with the most glorious entrance in all of WWE, Bobby Roode.
Randy Orton narrowly missed out on another shot at Jinder Mahal's WWE Championship after demolishing Rusev in all of 10 seconds at SummerSlam. Now Rusev has the chance for revenge, assisted by his new ally, Aiden English.
The United States Champion AJ Styles is challenged by Baron Corbin, who is looking to regain some momentum after failing to cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase and struggling to impress against Shinsuke Nakamura and John Cena. Can he shine versus the Phenomenal One?
Are there likely to be any surprise appearances?
Sami Zayn has been quite heavily involved in his long time nemesis Kevin Owens' spat with Shane McMahon and it would be intriguing if he had a part to play in their match-up. Likewise, Stephanie McMahon was none too impressed with KO's actions, and perhaps Triple H has something to say about the treatment of his brother and father-in-law...
