#2 Showed the true brutality of the Hell in a Cell

Hell in a Cell was not for the weak of heart.
Hell in a Cell was not for the weak of heart.

Both of the Hell in a Cell matches on the show were extraordinarily brutal. Tables, chairs, kendo sticks, ladders, sledgehammers, steel steps -- you name it, and between the two matches, they used it. While neither match was necessarily the kind of match that needed to happen inside the giant red cage, all four competitors used the fact that there are no rules to their advantage.

The main event between Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins ended with the champion apparently being disqualified for an exceptional amount of destructive brutality. While the Hell in a Cell has no rules, the referee deemed Rollins' actions (piling steel chairs and ladders on top of The Fiend and then using a sledgehammer to drive them into his prone body) simply too extreme to let the match continue.

Whether or not you agree with the idea of a Hell in a Cell match ending with a referee stoppage due to the excessive use of weapons, you have to agree that doing it does put over just how violent a match like this can force a wrestler to become.

Nobody came out of the hellish structure the same. Not the winners or the losers.
