WWE Hell In A Cell 2016: Ranking Every Match From Worst To Best

6. Hell In A Cell - US Title: Roman Reigns (c) Vs. Rusev

Result: Reigns lands a Superman Punch to retain the title (24:35).

Rating: This was actually better than expected, benefiting from strong physicality and varied use of both the cell and weapons underneath the ring, even if it ran way, way too long for what it was.

It was ultimately totally predictable, but they did a good job putting Roman through the wringer and almost convincing that Rusev could actually win.

Still, Roman's boring, lazy last-minute revival really ended the match on a bum note, and showed the booking team haven't learned much from his failure in the main event picture. Shave 10 minutes off and this would be all the better for it. 6/10
