Hell in a Cell 2010 Review

Hell in a Cell 2010 Review - Cena Joins the Dark Side


Been a while since I've done a PPV so I'll try and get the ball rolling again with the next one on the list .



Daniel Bryan vs The Miz vs John Morrison : Submissions Count Anywhere
Pretty sure this is the first and only match of its kind . I could be mistaken . The US Title was on the line here and this was definitely the best choice for the opener . It was fun seeing Morrison and Miz being out of their comfort zone and trying submission holds which they never usually did . Morrison jumping off the stage setup was brilliant . Bryan retains with the labelle lock . ***3/4



Randy Orton vs Sheamus : Hell in a Cell
WWE Championship on the line here . In hindsight , this probably should have main evented the show , but I suppose hindsight is 20/20 . This really wasn't a feud designed for HIAC but it was still a great match . This is Sheamus's first and only Cell match to date . Orton retains after hitting an RKO on the steel steps . ***1/2



Edge vs Jack Swagger
This was the start of Edge's face turn . At the time he was going after stupidity in the WWE and that meant Swagger and his big eagle . Fans weren't really into this match . It was still pretty good . Edge pins Swagger with the spear . **3/4



John Cena vs Wade Barrett
This was the biggest feud in WWE at this point . Could have even been the main event . The stipulation was that if Wade lost , the Nexus would disband , and if Cena lost , he would become a member of the Nexus . High stakes in this one . Wade gets the big upset win after a ' fan ' hits Cena with a weapon . ***3/4 . I'll put this as Match of the Night .



Natalya vs Michelle McCool
Unified divas title up for grabs here . Not much to say about this one . Michelle is DQ'd and so retains the title . 1/4*



Kane vs Undertaker : Hell in a Cell
For me , this was a dream match . I've always thought that the Cell was born for the legendary feud between these two brothers . It's a shame it couldn't have taken place twelve years earlier as this match couldn't live up to the expectations . As the match ends , Paul Bearer turns on Taker by shining the urn in his face . Kane hits the chokeslam to retain . **1/4




7/10 . One of the better PPV's of 2010 thanks to three great matches .
