Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt have been at war seemingly forever, but that war will possibly come to an end when the two men square off inside Hell in a Cell at the WWE pay-per-view of the same name on Sunday, October 25 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. We've got five ways to make this a classic match that fans will be talking about for years.

But before we can get to that, we have to dive into some background on this rivalry. Reigns and Wyatt have been feuding on and off ever since The Shield and The Wyatt Family did battle in early 2014, but they truly started butting heads again after Money in the Bank this year.

Reigns was climbing the ladder and was inches away from securing the briefcase that would all but guarantee he becomes the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but the lights in the building went out. When they came back on, Bray Wyatt was standing in the ring and he knocked Roman off the ladder. Sheamus eventually climbed up and took the briefcase, which he still holds as of this writing.

Bray Wyatt then explained that he needed to stop Reigns' ascension to the top because he doesn't deserve everything that has been given to him, and his mantra for this mission has been "Anyone But You." It was an interesting and almost meta approach to storytelling that played off the hardcore WWE fans' distaste for Reigns' perceived anointing by Vince McMahon and the powers that be as the next John Cena.

Reigns and Wyatt then tussled a few times, and the feud gradually expanded to include Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman, Randy Orton and even Chris Jericho. But after months of battling, Reigns said four simple words to Wyatt designed to end this once and for all: Hell in a Cell.

The problem, though, is that this match is on a card that includes the final bout ever between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker, a match that is sure to take over the spotlight in two weeks. But we still believe this can be a classic match despite what else happens on the card. So let's get into the five ways we believe that can happen...

1) Let them destroy each other.

This has been a blood feud from the get go. Bray brought Roman's daughter into this. They have gotten personal with each other in numerous ways. So locking them both in a cell is the best way to end this once and for all, and it's a match that feels earned.

But to truly wrap up this feud, they need to destroy each other. Their match on Monday Night Raw two weeks ago ended with both men brawling in the crowd to the point where they each collapsed on the announce table. That's the kind of energy this match needs.

2) Break the cell.

The popular opinion is that the Cell matches before Taker vs. Lesnar will be tame because they need to preserve the big spots and the wow moments for the main event. But I don't buy that.

Let Reigns and Wyatt bust through the cell wall. Sell the idea that this feud is so intense that even the cell can't contain them. Stalling the next match for 10 minutes while workers repair the damage they've done would only further enhance the intensity of the bout.

3) Blood.

I am not someone who thinks that wrestling needs blood to be special. In fact, watching the older matches where wrestlers are bleeding profusely or are cut 60 seconds into a match makes me uncomfortable. Thankfully, today's WWE is much more concerned about the talent's health.

But in some cases, a little bit of color (as Steve Austin likes to say) goes a long way. For matches like this that end feuds and are particularly nasty, some redness actually makes it a more complete experience. Think about Brock Lesnar's matches with Roman Reigns and Undertaker this year. Those matches wouldn't have been the same if the Beast hadn't bled.

4) A memorable spot.

Neither man has to fly off the roof of the cell, but we need that one standout moment to make this special. Last year, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins bounced off the side of the cell and crashed through the announce table before the match even really began. Those two had a blood rivalry much like Reigns and Wyatt, so an exclamation point like that really hooked the viewer. We need something similar in two weeks.

5) No interference.

I don't want to see Harper, Strowman, or even Ambrose anywhere near this match. I just want to see two men who hate each other rip each other apart. It's a simple formula. Let's end this once and for all.
