10 WWE Nightmares Vince McMahon MUST Regret Booking

10. Referee Stoppage Inside HIAC

Every wrestling fan gets PTSD whenever they attend concerts and bands flash red lighting all over the place. No, they don't think Kane is coming to chokeslam them - they cast minds back to Hell In A Cell 2019 when Vince McMahon smashed any remaining credibility his annual pay-per-view series had left.

People watched in horror as the referee stopped a Cell match between Seth Rollins and The 'Fiend'. His reason? Bray Wyatt was buried beneath some furniture, and Seth was belting him with a sledgehammer. Inside Hell In A Cell, which is...supposed to be some ultra-violent place to settle the score.

What was McMahon thinking here? Did he believe fans would stomach this stoppage when they'd witnessed greater atrocities inside and outside of HIAC? It was a quite terrible decision, and one that probably lived rent free in the boss man's head for a while.

It's taken a while to restore HIAC to some semblance of respectability.
