WWE Hell in a Cell 2016: Analysing and Grading each match

Hell in a Cell was a much better PPV than Clash of Champions

Grade: 7.5/10

Given the five talented competitors involved, this was always going to be a strong bout. The tensions between Cesaro and Sheamus teetered throughout the match, but they were ultimately able to stay on the same page. The New Day were entertaining as usual in and outside the ring, but their act has grown a bit stale in recent months.

Still, this was a fast-paced, fun matchup that had fans convinced Sheamus and Cesaro were going to capture the gold. Ultimately, they didn’t, but the finish left the duo with reason for another opportunity. The DQ finish was a blemish in an otherwise strong story, as the New Day appeared too much like heels in their way of retaining the titles.

Despite the finish, this was a splendid match that set up a rematch in future and kept tensions between Cesaro and Sheamus at the centre stage.
