Credit must be given to WWE for booking the main event of Hell In A Cell to actually mean something. Too often over the past few years, the Pay-Per-View has been headlined by rivalries which don't really belong inside the daunting cell, but Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins is a match which had true history behind it - both former members of The Shield, the story here is that Rollins had sold out Ambrose by joining The Authority. In addition, by having Bray Wyatt interfere and attack Ambrose, WWE were sowing the seeds for a fresh feud, something the promotion does precious little of nowadays. On the critical side, there was nothing particularly wrong with Hell In A Cell 2014, but it did pull in a miniscule number of buys on Pay-Per-View. Obviously, the show aired on the WWE Network, but again, there are still millions of people who don't have that medium, ones who could potentially plonk down the cash to watch the event elsewhere. Those fans didn't, and even though the PPV was propped up a little by people watching via the Network, it's still a very low number.
