It is also dubbed as the Devil’s Playground. Numerous lives and careers have been put on the line once they enter this steel lined depths of hell.
6 matches were presented on this pay-per-view, 2 of which happened inside the cell.
Match #1 Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz vs. John Morrison (Triple Threat Submissions Count Anywhere for the United States Championship)
This entertained me a little bit, three wrestlers with different styles of moves. I predicted that Daniel Bryan would have this in the bag for the fact that I have never seen John Morrison or Miz execute a submission move but I was proven wrong both Morrison and Miz have submission moves in their arsenal.
Highlights:
- Brawl was taken to the audience. Miz used a rolling barricade or something to toss Daniel Bryan out to the ramp.
- John Morrison using his parkour skills to kick Miz in the face
- Starship Pain delivered to Miz and Daniel Bryan to break their submission holds
- JOHN MORRISON JUMPING 15 FEET FROM A SET DECORATION
Despite the interference by Alex Riley (Whom Daniel Bryan shoved into a camera man) Daniel Bryan retains his title by executing a crossface to the Miz.
Match #2 Randy Orton vs. Sheamus (Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship)
I was surprised that this was on early. I was thinking this was gonna be the main even, but then again it could be Barrett vs. Cena or Kane vs. Taker for the main event. Random note: I was amused at how tanned Randy was and how pale Sheamus was.
Highlights:
- Sheamus dominating the first part of the match (Irish whipped Orton to the cell wall then hit him with a clothesline.)
- Steel steps was the main weapon. Steel chair was used as well. Sheamus got hit on the head, Randy got suplexed on it, Sheamus got scoopslammed.
- Sheamus used big boot twice, Randy kicked out everytime he got pinned
- RKO on the steps for the win
Despite having bruised ribs, taking on two big boots to the head, Randy became victorious against Sheamus. Both men were great competitors. Randy climbed up the top of the of the cage to make a point that the Viper is still no. 1
Match #3 Edge vs. Jack Swagger (Singles Match)
This match was made by the Anonymous Raw General Manager after Edge interrupted Alberto Del Rio then Jack Swagger interrupted them then started the brawl on Edge and Jack Swagger.
Highlights
- Edge used the top rope to deliver a boot to the face on Swagger
- Swagger used ankle lock but Edge holds on to the rope
- Swagger then tried to do an ankle lock outside the ring but Edge pushed Swagger to the ring post
- While Swagger was distracted Edge speared him to gain the win
This makes me wonder how the Raw GM will react to Edge’s win and how will his public apology will go.
Match #4 John Cena vs. Wade Barrett (Singles match with stipulation. If Barrett wins Cena must join Nexus, if Cena wins Nexus must disband. If any member of Nexus interferes the win goes automatically to Cena.)
To be honest people were paying the most attention to this match up rather than the championship matches, I know I was. I wanted this to be a Hell in a Cell match to give it a bit more challenge. Also, to give Wade Barrett a taste of the cell.
Highlights:
- Nexus runs to ringside during the match
- Barrett jumps off the top to deliver an elbow to the throat of Cena
- As Nexus surrounds the ring, Raw and Smackdown superstars run down and give Nexus a beatdown
- Leg drop to Barrett using the top rope
- Cena kicks out after being put to a Wasteland (Barrett’s finishing move)
- As Barrett strategizes, Cena hits him with an Attitude Adjustment in which he kicked out from
- Inteferrence from the audience, smashing Cena in the head with something
- Barrett seizes the moment to gain the win. Cena must join Nexus.
It is going to be an interesting Monday Night Raw, Cena won’t be dressed in Purple and Yellow anymore but Black and Gold. This could be a possible heel turn for Cena. We’ll see how this goes come Monday night.
Match #5 Michelle McCool (with Layla) vs. Natalya (Singles match for the Unified Divas Championship)
I wasn’t really focused on this match because I was still bummed about the last match. I WAS FOR TEAM CENA. (Despite that Wade Barrett is growing on me)
Highlights:
- Layla served as distraction for Natalya so that Michelle can deliver a clothesline.
- Michelle accidentally kicked Layla when Layla was distracting Natalya
- Too much interference by Layla
- Michelle McCool wins by disqualification
I’m just going to say this. The next time Natalya gets a title shot, She BETTER win.
Match #6 Kane vs. The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell for the World Heavyweight Championship)
This was considered the match of the night (To me it was Barrett vs. Cena) The Brother’s of Destruction meet again inside the Cell. This match will prove who is the better brother.
Highlights:
- Kane takes advantage of Undertaker’s distraction and beats him up.
- Undertaker was pushed into the steel steps.
- Kane uses a steel chair on Taker’s legs, focusing on his weak spot.
- Sometime in the middle of the match, Taker limps a little.
- Taker used a submission move.
- Taker goes for a tombstone but Kane counters with the same move. Taker kicks out.
- Kane slaps referee.
- Paul Bearer slips inside when they let a new referee enter, Kane sees and confronts him.
- Taker goes for the tombstone but Paul Bearer blinds him.
- Paul Bearer gives Kane the urn, he uses it as a weapon.
- Kane gives Taker a chokeslam for the win.
My how the tables have turned Paul Bearer comes back to give the Undertaker power but to have it crashing down on the deadman. Now we know who’s the Devil’s favorite demon but the question is will the Undertaker rise to the occasion despite Paul Bearer’s betrayal and departure or will be just accept defeat.
One of the best Pay-Per-Views, makes me very curious of what will happen in Raw and Smackdown. Very controversial results and I can’t wait to see what happens until the next pay-per-view 3 weeks from now. A lot can happen in three weeks, I’m not getting my hopes up to anything just yet.
