5 Superstars rumored to be in a Hell in a Cell match that never had one

#3 Cesaro

The Swiss Superman looked like he might join Sheamus in the Cell, either as an opponent or partner.

In 2016, Cesaro worked a compelling, hard-hitting program with Sheamus. The concept was that the pair of upper mid-carders had demonstrated tremendous chemistry in the ring, and so they’d face off in a best of seven series. Not only bragging rights, but a shot at the Universal Championship was on the line.

Things took a turn, though, when the seventh and deciding match ended in a draw. General Manager Mick Foley deemed that there would be no tiebreaker -- let alone the rumoured Hell in a Cell match between the two. On the contrary, the two men would band together and get a tag title shot instead.

So, let’s add up the factors. Sheamus and Cesaro had worked a successful program. They were a fresh new tag team. They were being pitted against the longtime reigning champions— the incredibly popular New Day. Surely, they’d be a shoo-in for a Hell in a Cell match as a team, right?

As it turned out, they weren’t. While Sheamus had worked a Cell match previously and New Day would get their chance a year later, Cesaro still has yet to get in the cage himself.
