WWE Hell In A Cell 2015 Match Card, Preview, Predictions and Review

[Face McShooty]

 

[spoiler=Match Card Breakdown]

Pre Show

Dolph Ziggler, Neville and Cesaro vs Sheamus, King Barrett and Rusev

Originally scheduled for the Hell in a Cell Kickoff show was Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton teaming up against The Wyatt Family's Braun Strowman and Luke Harper, but due to an unfortunate injury suffered by Orton, it was scrapped from the event.

Instead, a six-man tag team match will take place pitting Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Neville against Sheamus, King Barrett and Rusev. The two trios first squared off on the Oct. 19 edition of Raw, where the foreign forces emerged victorious.

Sadly, all six of these Superstars feel directionless or are stuck in pointless programs at the moment. Barrett and Sheamus have been building momentum as a tandem as of late, but Booking 101 dictates that the babyfaces will get their win back here.

Truth be told, the ending outcome is virtually meaningless unless something is put at stake. Hopefully everyone involved will move on to bigger and brighter things following Hell in a Cell.

On the bright side, if their six-man matchup on Raw this week was any indication, this Kickoff match should be entertaining from an in-ring standpoint.

Main Card

Kevin Owens vs Ryback for the Intercontinential Championship

At Night of Champions, Kevin Owens came out on top in his war against Ryback to clinch his first Intercontinental Championship. Since then, he has had a successful reign as champion, knocking off all-comers including The Lucha Dragons, Mark Henry and Neville.

Ryback has been riding a wave of momentum himself, but it's logical to assume that was done by design so he could look strong in the rematch against Owens. Well, it worked, because this has been one of the card's better built matchups since the last pay-per-view.

There really isn't any doubt regarding the winner unless WWE plans on cutting Owens' title reign short. Ryback is perfect right where he is on the card, but the former NXT champion can take that title to new heights if given the opportunity.

Therefore, Owens will retain here. Moving forward, it'll be interesting to see who else steps up to challenge the Quebec native; a returning Sami Zayn, perhaps?

Their initial encounter wasn't a technical masterpiece, but it was enjoyable enough, so expect something similar when they clash again on Sunday.

Charlotte vs Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship

Charlotte's reign as Divas champion since Night of Champions has been anything but smooth. Not only has she had to keep her sights set on current challenger Nikki Bella, but she's also had to deal with the drama going on with seemingly former Team PCB stablemate Paige.

As a result, she's constantly come up short in tag team matches against Team Bella, but that doesn't change the prediction of many when it comes to their championship rematch. Her title run is just getting started, so there's no reason to have her drop the strap so soon.

Nikki had her time with the title and one can only hope her and the rest of Team Bella move away from the spotlight after she loses the championship rematch. It's time to focus on the fresher faces in the division and get this so-called "revolution" back on track.

With Paige and Natalya at odds, there's a chance they play a factor in the finish to this match, too. Paige has wanted to rekindle her friendship with Charlotte and Becky Lynch in recent weeks, so perhaps she'll attempt to prove her loyalty to the NXT standouts by aiding the second-generation star to victory.

The last two matches between Charlotte and Nikki were among the best Diva matches fans have seen on the main roster in some time, but most of that was due to the story they were telling. The story isn't as strong this time around, so it's unknown how good their rubber match will be.

The New Day vs the Dudley Boyz

It's been two months since The Dudley Boyz made their shocking WWE return and they have yet to accomplish their goal of winning back the WWE Tag Team Championship. Standing in their way have been The New Day, who have proven to be major thorns in their side.

When they first faced off at Night of Champions, Xavier Woods interfered just as The Dudley Boyz were closing in on the victory, costing them the twin titles. The same occurred two weeks later in Madison Square Garden with a third match being made official on the Oct. 5 edition of Raw.

This past Monday night, the decorated duo removed Woods from the equation by putting him through a table, ensuring that he won't be present at ringside for the championship clash at Hell in a Cell.

The New Day have been on fire since regaining the gold at SummerSlam, but they showed prior to that point that they don't need the straps to be over with the audience. The Dudley Boyz have been chasing the straps long enough that it will mean something when they regain the gold on this show.

Although I'd personally hold off on the title change until the TLC pay-per-view in December (where it can be done in a Tables match), look for the seasoned veterans to get their time to shine as soon as Sunday.

John Cena's United States Open Challenge

Over the past six months, John Cena has brought back prestige to the United States Championship through his weekly open challenge matches. From Seth Rollins to Kevin Owens to Sami Zayn, he's sent back all challengers and for the first time ever, he'll defend against a mystery opponent on pay-per-view.

Rumors have been running rampant as to who will step up to take on Cena, but there isn't a clear-cut choice. It could very well be anyone from a NXT call-up, such as Finn Balor or Samoa Joe, to a returning Daniel Bryan.

The most likely candidate seems to be Tyler Breeze, who arrived on the main roster on the latest edition of SmackDown. Since he attacked Dolph Ziggler in his debut, that could somehow tie-in to Ziggler's recent pursuit of the United States Championship.

Either way, expect Cena to drop the star-spangled prize to whoever he ends up facing. The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer reported earlier this month that Cena could be taking time off following the pay-per-view and won't be back until after Christmas, so he'll have no choice but to relinquish the title before he departs.

Another scenario could see him retain his title only to get attacked afterward, but it would benefit whoever he works with that he lose the strap the traditional way via pinfall, even if it means they resort to dirty tactics to do so.

Seth Rollins vs Kane for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (if Demon Kane loses, Corporate Kane loses his position as Director of Operations)

Seth Rollins has overcome every obstacle in his way during his reign as WWE World Heavyweight champion. From Randy Orton to Dean Ambrose to John Cena to Sting, he's beaten them all, but Kane poses an entirely different challenge.

Their feud since Night of Champions has had its peaks and valleys, but it's apparent that there's no need for it to continue past Hell in a Cell. It's a good match to do on a pay-per-view that will be headlined by two more important matchups, but going into Survivor Series, Rollins shouldn't be facing a veteran who has no business being in the main event scene in 2015.

That said, Kane is remotely more interesting with the mask than without it, which is why he must lose here and put an indefinite end to the Corporate Kane character. The stipulation states that if Rollins retains, Corporate Kane will be removed from his position as the Director of Operations.

It would be one thing to give Sting or even Undertaker a brief title run from a nostalgia standpoint, but Kane definitely won't be a draw on the live event circuit as champion. With the product as dead as it is at the moment, Kane as champ is the last thing WWE needs.

Perhaps Rollins gets himself disqualified and Kane keeps his job, but that'd be a weak cop-out finish. Here's hoping WWE does the right thing by giving Rollins a relatively clean win so he can establish some credibility for himself.

Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt inside Hell in a Cell

Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt have been embroiled in a rivalry for the the ages over the last four months, but it will finally reach its end at Hell in a Cell. For the first time in the careers of both men, they will step inside Satan's Structure to do battle, but only one will walk out in one piece.

Say what you will about Hell in a Cell no longer having as much meaning as it once did, which is a fair assessment, but at least this is a feud that is worthy of culminating inside the cell. It's also logical from a storyline standpoint since Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton and The Wyatt Family can't get involved (or so we hope).

They've exchanged several victories since Battleground, so there isn't an obvious winner, but Reigns has been the popular candidate among fans to come out on top. Both of them are in need of victories, but the hero finally conquering his arch-nemesis after many months is the direction they seem to be headed in.

Additionally, he's talked at length recently about Wyatt costing him a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship back in June, so the title scene should be where he goes next. In order to do so, he'll have to overcome the one obstacle that has stood in his way, that being Bray Wyatt.

Their in-ring wars have increasingly gotten better with each event, and given the steel structure that will be surrounding them Sunday, this should be a solid main-event caliber match.

The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell

It has been a long winding road for the storied Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar rivalry, dating as far back as 2002, when they first stepped inside Hell in a Cell to do battle. Now, they face off for the final time Sunday with the winner ultimately solidifying their superiority over their opponent.

This match is without a doubt the most difficult to predict because their future plans beyond Hell in a Cell are uncertain, so there is virtually nothing to go off of. It's all but confirmed they'll be in action at WrestleMania 32, but it was wise for WWE to blow-off the feud on this show so they can instead go against fresh faces in the spring.

Lesnar will likely be working more dates before The Show of Shows, so he'd benefit more from a victory here than 'Taker would. Plus, he has yet to be beaten decisively since breaking The Streak last year, so having him suffer his first official defeat to The Deadman would be a waste of the rub it would provide.

We've witnessed interference in Hell in a Cell before, even as recently as last year, but whomever wins must do so in clean fashion. Their last match at SummerSlam ended in controversy, and it would be foolish to go to the same well twice.

Therefore, Lesnar is my pick to win, seeing as how he hasn't emerged victorious on pay-per-view since the Royal Rumble. Regardless, the unpredictability of it will make it an exciting affair, along with the carnage that will come with it.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Pre-Show Review]

Renee Young, Booker T, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton checked in as the pre-show panel from their desk inside the venue.

-Tom Phillips checked in from the social media lounge. He noted that the Dudley Boyz would join him later in the show.

-Young hyped the six-man tag match for the Kickoff Show.

-Booker compared the Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar main event to the Thrilla in Manilla fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.

-A Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt video package was shown. Young noted that neither man has competed in an HIAC match. Michael Cole's interview with Bray Wyatt from the WWE website was shown. Cole's reflection could be seen in the mirror, which would suggest that he is not a vampire. I'm not buying it. I know production gimmickry when I see it.

-Backstage, JoJo interviewed John Cena, who pimped the Breaking Ground premiere and then said he wants to break ground now. He hyped the open challenge match and played up the bright lights of Hollywood serving as the backdrop. He quoted Reese Bobby (a/k/a Gary Cole) by saying, "If you're not first, your last." The panel spoke about how pumped up Cena was. I'm like that too before I take time away. He wins the award for World's Greatest Man of the Hour for quoting "Talladega Nights" during his promo on the day of the big race in Talladega.

-Graves predicted Baron Corbin would be Cena's challenger. Saxton predicted it would be Cesaro. Booker T predicted it would be someone unexpected, "somebody different." Booker claimed his sources told him who it was, but he didn't want to ruin it for the fans.

-A Kevin Owens promo aired from outside the building. He said he thinks sports are kinda stupid and feels they are for the simple minded. As a diehard sports fan, I can confirm this is true. Anyway, Owens said he doesn't need to know much about sports to know that the Lakers suck. This is also true. The camera pulled back and showed that Owens was cutting his promo in front of the Magic Johnson statue. Owens acted like he didn't know Johnson's last name and then said he's a false idol. Owens said he'll beat Ryback using his brain and turn HIAC into the Kevin Owens Show.

-Young acted offended by Owens' comments and said the Lakers are one of the most storied franchises in NBA history. I love that she didn't just laugh it off as we've seen WWE broadcasters do in situations like this.

-Renee delivered the best news of the pre-show when she said that no one would be allowed at ringside during the Divas Championship match.

-A video package focussed on the Seth Rollins vs. Kane match.

-Michael Cole, JBL, and Jerry Lawler checked in on commentary from ringside and then introductions for the six-man tag match took place.

 

1. Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, and Neville vs. Rusev, Sheamus, and King Barrett.

Stardust and The Ascension were shown watching the match in the crowd. Cesaro slammed Sheamus and then knelt down for Neville to perform a spinning moonsault off his back and onto Sheamus. Cool spot. Ziggler hit a Fameasser on Sheamus and covered him for two. They cut to an ad for Breaking Ground during the match.

The heels took control of the offense by working over Ziggler. Cesaro took the well received hot tag and roughed up all three heels, then scored a near fall on King Barrett. A short time later, Cesaro performed the Cesaro Swing on Barrett and the crowd counted along with the with rotations. Cesaro tagged in Neville, who performed the Red Arrow on Barrett for the win...

Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, and Neville defeated Rusev, Sheamus, and King Barrett in 11:35.

 

 

-Inside the social media lounge, Phillips interviewed The Dudley Boyz and asked whether they feel bad for putting Xavier Woods through the table on Raw. D-Von said they don't feel bad and questioned why New Day gets to have a third man at ringside. Phillips questioned whether Woods being unable to be at ringside will help their chances. Bubba said New Day has to defend their titles straight up against the most decorated team in WWE history. "Can you say ten times?" D-Von asked. They spoke about their favorite moments. D-Von said one of them is their return to WWE. Bubba mentioned that as well as their TLC matches, and said tonight would be their new "most favorite moment in WWE" when they win the tag titles.

-The panel spoke about Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker. Booker said this is the thirteenth time that Taker will enter an HIAC match. The Lesnar vs. Taker video package closed the pre-show.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Main Show Review]

The usual pay-per-view broadcast team of Michael Cole, JBL, and Jerry Lawler called the show from ringside...

A video package opened the show...

Pyro shot off on the stage as Cole said there were 17,505 fans in attendance at the sold out show. "Ironically, the City of Angels hosts Hell in a Cell," Cole said...

 

John Cena made his entrance and was greeted with loud boos and the usual "John Cena sucks" singalong. Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello were shown in the crowd together. Cena took the mic and said he is still the man to beat. He issued the open challenge.

 

Zeb Colter's music played and he drove a motorized scooter onto the stage. Zeb said some people like Cena and some people don't. He said Cena is a polarizing figure. Zeb said he thinks it's time for people of all different backgrounds to come together. He also said it's time for Cena to lose the U.S. Title. Colter introduced Alberto Del Rio as Cena's challenger...

 

1. John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio for the U.S. Championship. Lilian Garcia handled the in-ring introductions for the title match. Colter watched the match from ringside on his motorized scooter. Del Rio targeted the arm early on. Cena dodged a charging Del Rio, who went through the ropes and hit the floor hard. Back inside the ring, Del Rio performed a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Later, Del Rio hit the Backstabber and then tagged Cena with a superkick and pinned him clean. Del Rio celebrated with Colter at ringside...

Alberto Del Rio defeated John Cena in 7:45 to win the U.S. Championship.

 

Backstage, Seth Rollins entered Triple H and Stephanie's office. Corporate Kane entered the room and said he wanted to apologize for his actions that got him suspended from Raw. Rollins told him to cut the crap because everyone knows that Corporate Kane and Demon Kane are the same person. Hunter told Kane it's a private meeting. Kane said the only thing left to say to Rollins is "good luck... you're going to need it"...

 

A video package aired on the Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt feud...

 

2. Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt in a Hell in a Cell match.

Cole said Reigns and Wyatt are the 34th and 35th men to work an HIAC match. Wyatt pulled a kendo stick out from underneath the ring early on and struck Reigns with it repeatedly. Cole reminded viewers there are no disqualifications in an HIAC match. Wyatt set the stick up in the fence and then slammed Reigns' face onto it.

Reigns ended up with the kendo stick and struck Wyatt with it repeatedly. Reigns set up a table at ringside and then set up for a suplex off the ring apron. Wyatt blocked it and performed a uranage that drove Reigns through the table. After Wyatt controlled the next few minutes of offense, Reigns got the better of a battle on the ropes. Reigns slipped under Wyatt and powerbombed him through a table that Wyatt had set up in the ring.

Wyatt came back and set up for his finisher, but Reigns avoided it and rolled him up for two. Reigns tagged Wyatt with a Superman Punch for a two count. A short time later, Reigns speared Wyatt off the ring apron and drove him through another table that was set up at ringside. The crowd chanted "this is awesome."

Reigns picked up Wyatt and rolled him back inside the ring and covered him for two. Wyatt came back with Sister Abigail and scored a two count. Wyatt sat up and laughed. Wyatt set up two kendo sticks inside the top and middle turnbuckles so that they pointed outward. Whatever Wyatt was going for didn't happen, as Reigns pulled out one of the sticks and clubbed him with it. Reigns followed up with a spear for the win...

Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt in a Hell in a Cell match in 22:05.

 

Commercials aired, including one for Randy Orton in "The Condemned 2"... Mark Wahlberg was shown in the crowd, as was Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame.

 

The broadcast team recapped The Dudleys putting Xavier Woods through a table, then they noted that he will not be able to appear on the show due to being injured...

 

New Day made their entrance. Kingston and E brought out the trombone and cut a promo as they headed to the ring. Kingston said Woods would perform a song of gratitude for the fans if he were there. He called for the fans to do a unicorn sign for Woods. E took a shot at the Lakers. E said trombone players around the world are mourning the loss of Woods. Kingston said it's the entire orchestra. Kingston said he would play the bongo drums on D-Von's head, and E said he's going to play the bass drum on Bubba's belly "like the caucasian Kamala." The Dudleys pyro cut them off...

 

3. Kofi Kingston and Big E vs. The Dudley Boyz for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

There was a really awkward spot with the Dudleys performing a clunky spot on Kingston that drew some boos from the crowd. The broadcast team didn't even seem to know what they were going for. All was forgiven when E checked in and swiveled his hips. New Day isolated D-Von, and E splashed him for two.

Ray took the tag and slammed E, then thrusted his pelvis before D-Von performed the Whassup spot. Bubba was about to tell Devon to get the tables, but Kingston caught both Dudleys with a dropkick. Kingston brought a trombone into the ring and tossed it to Bubba, then Kingston fell down and acted like he was hit. The referee teased calling for the DQ, then waved it off and noted that he didn't see it. Bubba broke the trombone and threw it to ringside.

The Dudleys hit a neckbreaker combo on Kingston and D-Von got a two count. Bubba checked in and they called for their finisher, but Big E returned and struck Bubba with the trombone. D-Von clotheslined E and they both tumbled to ringside. Kingston performed Trouble in Paradise on Bubba and pinned him...

Big E and Kofi Kingston defeated The Dudley Boyz in 8:25 to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship.

 

 

A video package set up the Divas Championship match...

 

4. Charlotte vs. Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship.

Eden Styles was the ring announcer and noted that no one is allowed at ringside. Nikki had the first prolonged stretch of offense. Charlotte came back with a series of chops that woke up the crowd.

Nikki caught Charlotte standing on the second rope. Things nearly got pornographic for a moment. Nikki went for a German suplex, and Charlotte didn't really land on her feet, but that was the idea. Charlotte went for the Figure Eight, but the story was that she could not bridge because her back was hurting from all the damage she took earlier, so Nikki rolled over and reached the ropes to break the hold.

They ended up at ringside and Nikki performed the Alabama Slam on the ring apron, which looked vicious. However, Charlotte ended up applying the Figure Eight a short time later and got the submission win. After the match, Paige and Becky Lynch ran out and celebrated with Charlotte...

Charlotte defeated Nikki Bella in 10:40 to retain the Divas Championship.

 

 

An ad aired for Survivor Series that hyped it as 25 years of Undertaker...

Backstage, Dean Ambrose congratulated Roman Reigns on finishing his feud with Wyatt. Ambrose said they both know what's next. Reigns said he hopes he does, but they didn't elaborate. Ambrose said it was time to celebrate. Reigns said he would see him in a little bit...

Bill Simmons and Seth Green were shown in the crowd.

Rick Rubin scratched his ear behind the broadcast team, but he was not acknowledged... A Seth Rollins vs. Kane video package aired...

 

5. Seth Rollins vs. Kane for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Garcia delivered the in-ring introductions for the title match. Corporate Kane is out as Director of Operations if Demon Kane loses. Rollins performed an early flip over the top rope and caught Kane with a kick on the way down to the floor. Damn. Cole asked what this match means for The Authority.

At 8:15, Kane clotheslined Rollins a couple times and gave him a big boot for a two count that no one took seriously. Kane went to the ropes, but Rollins cut him off. Kane ended up dropping Rollins from the ropes and then followed up with a clothesline. Kane called for the chokeslam, but Rollins slapped his arm away and caught him with a kick. Rollins went for the Pedigree, but Kane avoided it and chokeslammed him for a near fall that some fans counted along with.

Kane gave the last rites sign and went for the Tombstone, but Rollins slipped away and rolled to ringside. Kane followed and performed a side slam onto the broadcast table. Kane took Cole's table apart and threw Rollins over it. Kane stood on the table and went or a chokeslam. Rollins slipped under him and ended up powerbombing Kane onto the Spanish broadcast table, which just tipped over rather than break. Kane made it back inside the ring to beat the count.

Rollins performed a springboard flying knee to the head of Kane at 12:45. Rollins followed up with another. Rollins performed a pair of ADR superkicks, then followed up with a frogsplash for a two count. Rollins acted stunned, but the fans didn't seem to be. Rather, the fans chanted for Eddie Guerrero following the frogsplash. Rollins performed the Pedigree on Kane and covered him for the clean win...

Seth Rollins defeated Kane in 14:40 to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

 

 

A breast cancer charity video aired... The Kickoff Show panel discussed the show from their spot on the arena floor...

 

6. Kevin Owens vs. Ryback for the Intercontinental Championship. Ryback had Owens up for his finisher at 5:00, but Owens grabbed the ropes to break away. As Ryback was trying to get to Owens, it appeared Owens kicked him in the eye. Owens followed up with the Pop-Up Powerbomb and scored the clean pin, then Ryback sold his eye afterward...

Kevin Owens pinned Ryback in 5:40 to retain the Intercontinental Championship.

 

 

A WWE Breaking Ground video aired... The broadcast team recapped Alberto Del Rio defeating John Cena to win the U.S. Championship...

A video package set up the main event...

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman made their entrance. The crowd roared in anticipation of Undertaker's entrance, then popped once the gong sounded. Cole noted that it was 25 years ago at Survivor Series when Undertaker first arrived in WWE. Cole noted that they will celebrate Taker's anniversary at Survivor Series. Taker has a goatee, which would make it an evil goatee since it's on Taker...

 

7. Brock Lesnar (w/Paul Heyman) vs. Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match.

Lesnar and Taker engaged in a staredown with Lesnar smiling at Taker, who then did the throat slash gesture. Lesnar smiled and backed into his corner, then the bell rang to start the match as Cole said it was the last time they would ever meet. There were dueling chants for the wrestlers with the Taker chants winning the first battle.

Taker ran Lesnar into the ring post early. It looked like Lesnar put his hand up and didn't make contact with the post, but he came up a bloody mess a short time later. A short time later, the trainer wiped the blood away. Lesnar hit Taker with a chair shot to the side at ringside. Lesnar removed the glove on his right hand (blade?) and went after Taker, who suplexed him on the floor. Taker also came up bloody at one point.

Lesnar took control in the ring and performed three German suplexes and then followed with an F5. Lesnar went for the cover, but Taker kicked out. The trainer entered the ring and checked on Taker, which drew boos. Lesnar performed another F5 once the trainer left and got a good near fall at 10:05. The fans chanted "this is awesome."

Lesnar went to ringside and pulled the stairs apart, then threw the top piece inside the ring. Lesnar rammed the ring step piece into Taker. Cole said that should do it, then acted shocked when Taker kicked out. Weak call. Lesnar picked up the piece of the ring steps and tried to slam it on Taker, who rolled out of the way. Lesnar tried again, but this time Taker put his feet up and blocked the stairs, which caused Lesnar to fall over.

Taker caught Lesnar in Hell's Gate at 13:15. Lesnar teased tapping as Cole said "The Beast is fading." Lesnar fought his way free and then threw punches at Taker, with the last few looking especially vicious. At 14:30, Lesnar spotted a hole in the canvas. He pulled back the top layer and then removed the padding so that the boards were exposed. Taker ended up chokeslamming Lesnar onto the boards at 15:20. The fans chanted "this is awesome" again.

Taker got back to his feet and waited for Lesnar, who stumbled and then got back to his feet and walked into Taker, who performed the Tombstone in front of the exposed boards. Taker folded Lesnar's arms over his chest and went for the pin, but Lesnar kicked out at the last moment. Great near fall.

Taker got back to his feet and did the throat slashing gesture. Lesnar low-blowed Taker in a SummerSlam payback and then smiled. Lesnar put Taker away with the F5...

Brock Lesnar defeated Undertaker in 18:05 in a Hell in a Cell match.

 

After the match, the cage raised and Lesnar struggled as he left the ring with Heyman. Lesnar sold by falling over. Once he got back up, Lesnar and Heyman backed up the ramp while looking at Taker, who was still lying on his back in the ring. Once Lesnar and Heyman were gone, Taker made a failed attempt to sit up, then pulled it off on the second try. The fans chanted "thank you, Taker." Taker struggled and finally got to his feet and soaked up the respectful ovation.

 

The Wyatt Family video flashed. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman, and Erick Rowan surrounded the ring. They eventually entered and attacked Taker with Bray Wyatt calling the shots. Harper, Strowman, and Rowan carried out Taker with Wyatt leading the way. The Wyatt Family music played as they walked toward the back with Taker to end the show...
