Ranking The 28 Greatest Hell In A Cell Matches In WWE History
21. Mark Henry Vs. Randy Orton (Hell In A Cell 2011)
Mark Henry went a long way in 2011 toward reshaping the historical opinion of his career that he had forged with previous lousy matches, failed pushes, and an overinflated contract. Something clicked within him that prompted the best work of his career. He won the World Heavyweight Championship from Randy Orton and faced him inside the Cell for the rematch. They built really well to a great near fall of Henry kicking out of the RKO, with Henry dominating and then Orton making his big comeback. The Cell kept Henrys offense from dragging, as it tended to do even in a career year, and the storytelling was top notch as they inched toward Orton hitting his finish, Henry kicking out, and then Henry reversing the Punt into the World's Strongest Slam for the win.
