Hell in a Cell was rather surprisingly headlined by the third meeting between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre, who finally got to main event a pay-per-view as the WWE Champion. Their bad blood was evident from the get-go, not even waiting until they were inside the Cell to start fighting.

This was a pretty methodical contest, operating at Orton's preferred pace while McIntyre fought valiantly. There were some great moves, like the Scottish Terminator's suplex through a table at ringside. The Viper even tried to leave Hell in a Cell out of frustration, before McIntyre chased him down.

Orton climbed to the top of the cell, with his opponent following soon after. They fought for a while before climbing back down the side, at which point McIntyre was sent crashing through the announce table. This turned the tide of the match into The Legend Killer's favor, as he ended an urgent final sequence with an RKO and the pinfall to win the WWE Championship.

While this was the weakest of the three Hell in a Cell matches, the WWE title main event had its fair share of memorable spots. Randy Orton was typically great. This was a vintage performance from the 14-time World Champion, as he ended Drew McIntyre's first world title run in WWE.

Grade: A-
