10 Major Mistakes WWE Has Made In 2021
9. Hell In A Cell On SmackDown...And RAW...
Speaking of concepts that are going down the drain, let's talk about Hell In A Cell.
In 2020, Hell In A Cell almost had a revival. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso put on a clinic, as did Sasha Banks and Bayley. In 2021, the stipulation has been irreparably damaged.
The Hell In A Cell PPV has been growing stale for a long time. Having to artificially mould feuds so that they fit this stipulation just doesn't work. It's clunky and repetitive, only serving to damage the story.
However, the biggest issue with Hell In A Cell this year is that we got them on weekly TV. Out of every stipulation, this is one that should never be put on TV. This concept should be saved for the worst of blood feuds and should be the endpoint for that feud.
In 2021, fans saw Roman Reigns take on Rey Mysterio and Bobby Lashley take on Xavier Woods. Both matches were contested on SmackDown and RAW respectively. With ANOTHER Hell In A Cell match coming up at Crown Jewel, WWE have grated away all the mystique of the once-beloved stipulation.
