4 recent WWE feuds that deserved a Hell in a Cell match at the PPV and 4 that did not

#3 Randy Orton vs. Sheamus did not deserve a Cell match at WWE Hell in a Cell 2010

This did not fit the stipulation at all

Similar to Randy Orton's feud with Mark Henry in 2011, the Viper's WWE Championship program with Sheamus a year earlier culminated inside Hell in a Cell. The stipulation was not needed at all, with a simple No Disqualification Match being more appropriate for the occasion.

The events leading up to Hell in a Cell 2010 weren't even that intense. Sheamus got disqualified during their SummerSlam match for simply touching the referee, while Orton won the WWE title from the Celtic Warrior in a 6-pack Challenge at Night of Champions. Their Cell match was decent but unnecessary.

What makes this match so baffling is that WWE had a way more intense feud on RAW at the time, one which deserved a Hell in a Cell match much more than Orton vs. Sheamus.

#2 John Cena vs. Wade Barrett deserved a Cell match at WWE Hell in a Cell 2010

The stage was set perfectly

The fact that WWE put Randy Orton and Sheamus inside Hell in a Cell, while booking John Cena vs. Wade Barrett in a standard singles match at the pay-per-view, was ridiculous. The issue between Cena and the Nexus had reached a point where something had to give. The stakes of their match were high, as Cena had to join the group had he lost.

There was even a stipulation that if the Nexus got involved, the group would be forced to disband. This is the kind of thing that Hell in a Cell is supposed to be for. Cena and Barrett could have had an insane brawl inside the Cell, possibly even cementing the latter as a main event star in WWE.

The finish may be why this didn't happen inside Hell in a Cell, with Husky Harris costing Cena the match. However, WWE could have gotten to that point even with the Cell, with the Nexus attacking the production crew and raising the Cell for the interference to happen.

This made so much more sense as a Hell in a Cell match than Orton vs. Sheamus ever would have. Wade Barrett would have been much better off had he defeated John Cena inside the Cell.
