5 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Hell In A Cell 2019

2. A DQ. In Hell In A Cell

What the actual hell?

This writer thought we saw the dumbest Hell in a Cell finish last year when Brock Lesnar broke into the cell and laid out Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman, leaving both men unable to continue, and thus the match ended without a finish.

WWE this year: Hold our beer.

The company outdid itself in sheer stupidity, booking a DQ finish in the cell match between Seth Rollins and “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, with Rollins getting increasingly violent as he hit repeated Stomps, a chairshot to the head(!), a ladder-driven chairshot to the heat, a toolbox, and finally a sledgehammer for the DQ.

To make matters worse, The Fiend popped right back up and took out Rollins, which drew a huge “Restart the match!” chant, to no avail.

Hell in a Cell is billed as a structure with no rules, where anything goes. Mick Foley was thrown off of it and thrown through it. People beat on each other with steel chairs, drive each other through tables, swing kendo sticks, and do God knows what to each other in there. That’s the entire freaking point of the cell.

But yeah, let’s book a DQ finish for being too violent. Or using Triple H’s trademark sledgehammer without permission. Whatever makes more sense.

The worst part is that next year, they’ll talk about how Hell in a Cell is a demonic structure where anything goes, where you can do anything you can dream up to your opponent, completely ignoring this year’s DQ.
