10 Wrestlers Who Had No Business Being Inside Hell In A Cell

1. Paul Heyman

An argument can be made that Paul Heyman is the greatest manager/advocate of all-time next to Bobby Heenan as well as one of the best things going on WWE TV today. That said, he's not known for his days as an in-ring competitor, or rather the few times he was actually involved in matches. WWE did a delightful job of building up the CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman rivalry in the summer of 2013, leading to an outstanding match between Punk and Heyman's client Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. From that point forward, however, the feud took a turn for the worse when Heyman enlisted the assistance of Curtis Axel and Ryback. Needless to say, Axel and Ryback were no threat to Punk, who beat both men decisively each time they faced off. The big blow-off came at the Hell in a Cell event with Heyman teaming with Ryback to take on the Second City Saint in a Handicap Hell in a Cell match, though Heyman spent a majority of the match on top of the structure. After Punk made quick work of Ryback inside the ring, he ascended the side of the structure and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of his former friend with a kendo stick. It was a great visual, sure, but the fact Heyman was a part of the match alone was disgraceful. He should have served as a manager to Ryback outside the cell similar to what he did for Brock Lesnar and Punk in 2002 and 2012, respectively, so his name wouldn't have gone down in the record books.
