Our main event of the evening was Drew McIntyre defending the WWE Championship against Randy Orton in a Hell In A Cell Match. After three months of these two men going head to head, this was yet another feud that felt fitting of the Cell stipulation. With two other Match of the Year quality titular matches earlier in the night, McIntyre and Orton were met with a daunting task to close the show.

This Hell In A Cell match featured more brawling outside of the cage than the previous two contests. We witnessed brawling before the match began as well as Orton escaping the Cell, leading to the two men fighting on top of the steel structure. The camera work on top of the Cell looked great and allowed this encounter to feel different from the earlier two Cell matches. The huge bump from the side of the cage by McIntyre was a memorable spot.

In the end, we witnessed a marvelous callback to their SummerSlam match with the backslide by Drew McIntyre. He followed with a Claymore Kick and then looked for one more, but Randy ducked and hit the RKO to win and claim his fourteenth world championship of his career. This Hell In A Cell match did not meet the splendid in ring and storytelling work of the two previous encounters, but it gave us something unique that took better advantage of the Cell and environment around the ring. This was a fine main event and title change for Orton to end this PPV.

Star Rating: ***1/4
