10 Mistakes WWE Can't Afford To Make With Hell In A Cell 2016

2. Have Triple H Crash The Universal Title Match

Clash Of Champions’ main event looked like a great match on paper, but it was rife with issues. The threat of Triple H’s imminent arrival hung over it like an unwanted spirit, and while The Game didn’t show-up in the end, the possibility of his interference completely sucked the life out of the match. Moreover, Stephanie McMahon and Chris Jericho’s involvement saw the match end in shambles, and closed Clash on a low note.

Hell In A Cell is an enclosed structure that should, in theory, prevent outside interference. Anyone who’s watched more than one of these matches knows what this usually isn’t the case, however, and the wrestlers usually find a way to escape the structure.

Thus, Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins will likely be haunted by Triple H’s ghost again, and that’s a shame. He still has a stake in the Universal Championship after gifting it to Owens last month, and with a rumoured Rollins vs. Triple H match on the horizon at WrestleMania, WWE need to start building.

Owens and Rollins deserve the opportunity to have a good match. They’re two of Raw’s best performers, but their in-ring interactions have been destroyed by the McMahon family’s machinations, and WWE must break from this formula at Hell In A Cell. Give the fans the match they want, and they’ll be happy: otherwise, Hell In A Cell will be just as miserable as Clash of Champions was.
