10 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE Hell In A Cell 2020

5. More Indecisive Endings

One of the problems of the PG Era's attempts to make Hell In A Cell work revolves around creative's complete obliviousness to the concept's limitations - or, more importantly, lack thereof. The Hell In A Cell match is designed as a final chapter in a blood feud; a ThunderDome, if you will, where two men enter and one man leaves the victor.

If we're to believe the stories they told us in the cell's early days, there's no such thing as an indecisive conclusion to Hell In A Cell because Hell In A Cell is the conclusion. And yet, the two most recent editions have been marred with controversial conclusions in which nobody walked out the victor.

Brock Lesnar's interference in the 2018 main event wouldn't have happened in the days when Kane ripped the door off its hinges and allowed Shawn Michaels to pin The Undertaker; while the referee's inexplicable final decision to stop the match between Seth Rollins and The Fiend last year would never have been a possibility when The Undertaker put Mick Foley through hell in 1998.

Hell In A Cell has betrayed itself in recent years, so you can see why fans are a little concerned about it happening again - especially as this current creative team adores dragging feuds out for far too long.

Who's ready to see Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre batter themselves into a double countout?! Who's ready to see RETRIBUTION get involved?!
