6 WWE Feuds That Should Have Ended In Hell In A Cell
5. The Shield And The Wyatt Family
Its hard to believe that a mere six months ago, some fans were calling the Shield and the Wyatt Family the future of WWE. The two trios were lighting up Raw and Smackdown with some of the best in-ring work outside of Daniel Bryan. The one thing fans clamored for was for these two groups to clash, figuring that the result would be a spectacular bout. And when the seeds were sown earlier this year, live crowds went wild. The teams did square off at Elimination Chamber and then again in a hot battle on the March 3 episode of Raw from Chicago. But instead of continuing to build toward a massive showdown at WrestleMania, Bray Wyatt was positioned against John Cena, and the Shield took out the makeshift team of Kane and the New Age Outlaws. It proved to be a huge lost opportunity, especially now that the Shield is no more and it looks like the Wyatts are disbanding (or at least Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are set free). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEI31gGlxew As fans have seen during the past year, both groups were more than capable of having show-stealing matches. The feud was right there to be advanced, and putting them inside Hell in a Cell would have been a logical step after the previous two matches and their hatred for each other. But WWE couldnt use the cell outside of the PPV, even if it made perfect sense, could they? That would just be crazy talk.
