#2 Brie Bella vs Nikki Bella, Hell in a Cell 2014
At SummerSlam 2014, Brie Bella garnered arguably the most high-profile spot of her career, booked into a feud with Stephanie McMahon. Promos from their angle got the main event spot on RAW more than once, and the match itself was quite good, particularly relative to expectations related to these two women’s in-ring talents.
The bout culminated in Nikki Bella turning on her sister to help McMahon to victory, thus setting up the feud between sisters that no one had necessarily asked for, but nonetheless presented some intrigue. The added stipulation of putting the loser into the victor’s servitude added an extra element of storyline implications to the match.

The Bellas didn’t put on a classic by any measure, and the storyline follow-up in which Brie turned heel and was less an assistant than a partner to her sister moving forward cost the program some of its drama. Nonetheless, the spectacle of seeing the twins battle it out at least delivered a unique spectacle.
