5 Biggest Winners & Losers From WWE Hell In A Cell 2016

2. Loser: Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks made history last night, and that’s what prevents her from being branded Hell In A Cell’s biggest loser. She and Charlotte will forever be remembered not only as the first women to ever set foot in the Cell, but the first to headline a WWE PPV. It’s a huge moment in the company’s history, and nobody will ever be able to take it away from them.

That being said, losing the Raw Women’s Championship in her hometown, particularly to such a hated rival, makes last night’s loss absolutely crushing for The Boss. She was always fighting the odds after being powerbombed through an announce table early on, but she sustained too much damage to mount a comeback in the aftermath, and the finish left the crowd deflated.

Banks was fantastic throughout the match. She worked as hard as ever, and deserves respect for having the guts to pull-off the announce table spot after her recent back problems. Her every move had the crowd jumping and screaming, and in terms of her all-round performance, there’s little to complain about.

None of it was enough, though. Sasha’s a two-time Women’s Champion, but both of her reigns lasted less than a month. She has defeated Charlotte a couple of times on television, but on PPV - the biggest stage of them all - Flair holds a clear and decisive advantage. It’s back to the drawing board for Banks, who faces a long, gruelling fight to work back towards contendership.
