Most of Hell In A Cell was awesome, until the final hour. I didn’t watch the Kickoff, so I can’t comment on it. Lynch VS Banks was awesome & a fun HIAC Match. The Tornado Tag Team Match was fun. Ali VS Orton, the Women’s Tag Team Titles, & the 6-Man Tag were fun, despite all of them being added last minute. Gable VS Corbin was the 1st match that I didn’t like since it went way too long. Flair VS Bayley was OK. Rollins VS Wyatt was horrible, especially with the red light for the entire match & the worst finish in Hell In A Cell History.
