WWE Hell in a Cell 2019: 3 obscure but important details you missed 

#1 Randy Orton gives Ali the props he deserves

Ali and Orton had a fantastic encounter at Hell in a Cell

Randy Orton took on Ali as part of a match that was announced mid-way through the show. Ali is one of the fastest rising stars in the company right now and he would have been aware that facing The Viper could be a turning point in his career.

Kofi Kingston's botch in the match with Orton meant that his career was derailed for a number of years so Ali knew that he had to be at the top of his game, so much so that it appeared that he managed to gain the respect of the man himself.

Even though Orton was the heel in the match, he showed his respect subtly by tapping Ali on the side of his leg after the match and then mouthing praise to the former Cruiserweight Champion. Orton later took to Twitter to state that Ali's reversal of the RKO was one of the best he had ever seen, which was since he managed to handstand out, but it wasn't enough to secure him a career-defining win over the former World Champion.

Have to give it to @AliWWE, one of the best counters I’ve seen. But in the end ... you know how it ends. #KeepWatching https://t.co/4mBAufPtXu
