WWE Hell In A Cell 2018: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
2. Hell In A Cell: Randy Orton Vs. Jeff Hardy
Result: Orton gets the pin after Jeff... puts himself through a table (25:00).
Rating: That blood-red cage colour sure is horrifying, huh? The crowd was completely dead for most of this because they couldn't see anything, but the opening match ended up being an easy high-point of the show regardless.
Things started a little slow, but this quickly became surprisingly brutal for a PG-Era HIAC match: the screwdriver spot was inventively gnarly, and the gross visual of skin hanging from Orton's leg is sure to stay with fans for a while.
There was no sign of an epic Jeff Hardy spot as many predicted - probably best for Hardy, really - but did the match really need it? It's a shame the ending was such an hilariously mistimed bust, because the rest of the match was incredibly strong.
Trim a few minutes off the start and fix that dumb ending and this would've been genuinely great. 7/10
