Regardless of what you thought of Sunday's WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on the whole, you have to admit that it was a strong night for in-ring action. Questionable finishes aside, both Hell in a Cell matches delivered a big way. Although we've seen John Cena and Randy Orton clash countless times before, their pleasantly surprising match exceeded expectations and saw Cena walk away as the new No. 1 contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. In the main event, former Shield cohorts Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins settled their score inside the confines of a Hell in a Cell. Following interference from a returning Bray Wyatt, Rollins capitalized and pinned the fallen Ambrose for the victory. That said, you can't hold a Hell in a Cell pay-per-view without an obscene amount of brutality. Granted, matches that take place inside Satan's Structure these days aren't what they used to be, but they still involve a certain level of violence that isn't seen at any other point in the year. Even some of the other standard singles matches on the card left a lasting impression. Superstars such as Cesaro, The Usos, Rusev and others showcased their skills in their respective matchups, executing crazy spots that will not be soon forgotten.
