Nobody expected this one to be included.

Listen, WWE historians won't point towards the breakdown of Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss as some banner moment in federation history someday. It was a 'B' level feud (at best) ideal for 'B' level pay-per-views, and that's precisely what happened. However, their blowoff at Hell In A Cell 2022? Shockingly fun.

Freed from the daftness of his dad joke-telling gimmick, Madcap was right up for it come show time. Across the ring, Corbin also seemed motivated to show what he could do in a stirring 'No Holds Barred' situation against someone management hoped would catch fire as a new babyface sensation.

That last bit didn't quite happen, but everyone tried. Moss beat his old partner, then cupped his ears as fans genuinely did cheer with approval. The agent responsible for this gimmick bout deserves praise too, because they laid it out so smartly.

Naff, joke-laden build was forgotten once Madcap started raining down punches.
