Randy Orton's collision with Jeff Hardy was a surprisingly solid match that proved to be a callback to some of WWE's more violent days. However, there was one aspect that left some of the WWE Universe feeling a little disappointed.

When it was revealed that Jeff Hardy would finally be taking part in a Hell in a Cell match, fans went wild thinking about all the potentially crazy things that the 'Charismatic Enigma' could do with the steel structure. One thought that popped up the most was the possibility of Hardy climbing the cell itself and potentially jumping off onto Randy Orton (much like fellow daredevil Shane McMahon). As all of the action took place inside the cell, this dream was never realised.

Given the risks (and the fact that Hardy is in dire need of a break), it's understandable that WWE didn't want to risk his health with such a catastrophic fall. However, they could have relied on the cell in other ways throughout the match because, outside of Hardy's awe-inspiring table spot, this contest didn't make use of it at all.
