Proof, as if proof were needed, that Hell In A Cell is one of the WWE's most dangerous events of the year came with the crowning of two new world champions in Miami. Coming into this late October pay-per-view wrestling fans wondered whether Daniel Bryan or Randy Orton would walk out of Satan's structure with the richest prize in the business. The WWE Championship has been vacant what was wrong with that terminology instead of a corporate business word like abeyance by the way for over a month now. Hell In A Cell matches have always been designed to bring finality to feuds. Who would have the last word? What role would WWE's Chief Operating Officer Triple H have in proceedings? Could the integrity of the Showstopper Shawn Michaels be called into question as special referee? Would HBK's relationship as the trainer of Bryan and his bitter past rivalries with Orton cloud his judgment? What of the experience factor? Orton had competed in the cell before and Bryan had not. All these questions and more were answered. We look at five things that the WWE Universe learned from Hell In A Cell.
5. Damaging The Shield
Whilst their push as bodyguards for The Authority continues, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose had a night to forget on pay-per-view. First former WWE Tag Team Champions Rollins and Reigns failed to recapture the gold from Goldust and Cody Rhodes in a Triple Threat match that also featured The Usos. Ambrose then got himself deliberated counted out in his WWE United States Championship bout against Big E Langston. This weak ending is becoming disturbingly frequent and although it gets Ambrose over as a heel it will do nothing to increase his standing with wrestling fans. Once they lost the tag titles The Shield's aura of invincibility was lost. Ten months ago they headlined the last TLC event, now they look very much mid-card at best.
