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

1. Loser: Seth Rollins

Hell In A Cell is an enclosed structure that should theoretically prevent interference from outside parties. Anyone who’s watched more than one of these matches knows that this isn’t the case, however. The action will spill outside the Cell more often than not, opening the possibility of interference, and creating all kinds of chaos.

Triple H turned on Seth Rollins to cost him the Universal Championship, but it wasn’t The Game who interfered last night. Instead, Chris Jericho ran down to the ring, locked himself in the cage, and helped Kevin Owens to victory despite sustaining a heavy beating. Rollins put up a great fight against the best friends, but he couldn’t overcome the numerical advantage, and fell after being powerbombed through two chairs.

It was one of the night’s best matches. Jericho’s interference diminished it somewhat, but the table spot was fantastic, and Owens and Rollins successfully played to the gimmick’s brutal reputation. PG Era cage matches are generally clean, safe affairs, but nobody can say that here.

The result is another crippling disappointment for Rollins, who was laid-out by Jericho’s Codebreaker after the match. He’s a man with no allies who’s trying to compete against one of wrestling’s most devious partnerships, and he’s struggling. Raw’s double-pin has been nullified, and Rollins went home as HIAC’s biggest loser.
