10 Major Positives To Take From WWE Hell In A Cell 2015

Big returns, rivalries began and a title changed hands in dramatic fashion...

WWE brought their Hell in a Cell pay-per-view to the Staples Center on Sunday night, delivering probably the best wrestling show since WrestleMania back in March. The event was a three-hour masterclass in storytelling, both in the ring and outside the confines of the matches. From the brutal war of a main event between Undertaker and Brock Lesnar to the wildly enjoyable six-man tag contest on the pre-show, there was enjoyment to be found in every single match on the card. Outside of the in-ring content on the night, WWE also delivered a whole host of talking points going forward, making tonight's episode of Raw an absolute must-watch. The creative team managed to turn what is usually a throwaway show on the road to Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble into something very special indeed €“ an event that is going to get the entire Internet Wrestling Community talking about WWE with something other than jaded cynicism for once. Hell in a Cell is exactly the kind of show WWE needs to put on more regularly if it wishes to revert the current slump in television ratings. It's a show that has left behind a number of major positive points going forward, which provide plenty of opportunity for WWE Creative to improve the weekly television product as well as the monthly PPV content.
