The traditional WWE Hell In a Cell show concept is reportedly “dead” under WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H.

A new report from WrestleVotes notes that the Hell In a Cell show is believed to be “completely dead” under this new regime. It was noted that the Hell In a Cell match means a lot to Triple H as he had many classics inside the Cell structure.

However, the idea that two Superstars have been feuding for a while so now they must finish their feud inside the Cell because “the calendar says so” is reportedly done.

It should be noted that the Hell In a Cell match likely is not completely done, but Triple H is expected to save the Cell bouts for the bigger blood feuds, like the ones he was involved with.

So exactly how it was meant to be used!

[Final Countdown Jones]

Good. Triple H out here saving shit again.

[The Heartbreak TWERK]

This report made Vince poop his pants in rage.

He's currently chasing Gerald Briscoe with his briefs on a stick. They may never return.

Good, use it when there's no other option to end a feud, not a run of the mill gimmick match it has become

I’m glad it will be able to spend more time with its family.

[GodzillaIsMyMonster]

I wouldn't have one for a couple of years. Get people to miss it.

[Gerard Gerard]

The reasoning for it going to an annual PPV has long since outlived its purpose in that they don't really need a gimmick to salvage PPV buys anymore, so why not protect it for a while?

GOOD, haha.

Can’t even believe how much they devalued this match by having be a yearly thing.

[sdoyle7798]

Good.

Now strip off that red paint.

Also, what are people's thought oin the Elimination Chamber being yearly.

I do think this one works as long as you have two brands, since it sets up your other title match at WM.

They had a weird relationship to it recently in that they seem to, at least, be self aware to know they're hurting the novelty i.e. 1 HiaC match per PPV now versus the 2-3 a show previously — strangely, though, not self-aware enough to just not book the damn PPV anymore.

Yes, having it in Feb at No Way Out works fine for the non-Rumble title story.

[darbus alan]

Good. The HIAC should be a match that means something for a feud instead of an event match you book a set annual show around.

[canceled4truth]

Oh thank God, I hate gimmick PPVs, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series aside

[lildude8218]

Report says that Triple H wants to bring back longterm feuds and the hottest will culminate in a Hell in a Cell match. He plans on starting new feuds post-Wrestlemania and have them stretch for 5 months until October.

Triple H: October? DAMN IT!

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

CELEBRATE!

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

The cell itself finally listened to Mick Foley
