3 highs and 2 lows of Hell in a Cell 2018

Hell in a Cell 2018 has come and gone, and has left many WWE fans talking. It was a very good show filled with an awesome combination of brutality, excitement, and exquisite entertainment.

Last night, we saw Brock Lesnar return to WWE to wreak havoc inside Hell in a Cell. We also witnessed AJ Styles successfully defend his title against Samoa Joe in yet another instant classic.

Elsewhere on the show, Becky Lynch toppled Charlotte to win the SmackDown women's championship, Ronda Rousey squashed Alexa Bliss in a one-sided affair, The Miz and Maryse overcame the couple of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, and Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

However, there were a few things that left a sour taste in the mouth. With all that said, lets look at 3 highs and 2 lows from Hell in a Cell.

#1 Low: The 'red' cage

The new cell design

I know that WWE wanted to add in that effect of 'hell' to this year's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, which is why the official poster was surrounded by fire and Reigns and Strowman were seen as supernatural creatures.

However, the red cage structure didn't help much, and the traditional cell would've been a better option. The red structure didn't seem to fit the theme of the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view at all.

Furthermore, it was difficult to see through the red cage due to the new complex design, which is why it would've been wiser had WWE stuck to the original design of the cell.

#2 High: A night of great in-ring action

How sick can The Viper get?

There's no doubt about the fact that WWE's in-ring work has been off the charts lately, and Hell in a Cell was living proof of that. This year's cell matches felt brutal and entertaining, reminiscent of the Attitude Era.

Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton exceeded expectations in their cell match. Randy Orton pulling Hardy's earlobe was the most sickening act I've seen on WWE recently. Jeff Hardy's fall from the top of the cell was an OMG moment. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles showed just how talented and skilled they are in the ring by providing us with a solid championship bout

Although it was over-booked and Mick Foley botched a pin, the in-ring action of the main event was decent as well.

#3 High: Becky Lynch finally gets her moment

She did it!

Becky Lynch is one of the best women wrestlers on the planet. The WWE Universe really appreciates her efforts and have pleaded with WWE to give her a push. Her popularity is such that she gets loud positive reactions, even though she's portraying a villainous character on screen right now.

After months and months of scratching and clawing her way to a title opportunity, she finally dethroned Charlotte Flair to grab hold of the top prize in the SmackDown women division. Her ascent to the top has been a fairy-tale, and her triumph last night was really just the icing on the cake.

It'll be interesting to see the fall-out from their match, many fans are predicting a double-turn, with Charlotte and Becky switching roles.

#4 Low: The booking of Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe

These two deserve so much better

Daniel Bryan's win/loss record has been poor since his return from retirement. Aside from a couple of victories against Big Cass on pay-per-view, Bryan hasn't had much success on pay-per-view.

Furthermore, his rivalry with The Miz continues to play second fiddle to the rivalry between their spouses. Bryan has lost so many crucial matches at this juncture that many have begun to question his credibility

However, Bryan's booking wasn't nearly as disappointing as Samoa Joe's booking was. Joe took his rivalry with Styles to a level where a composed person like Styles got emotional, lost his cool, and had himself intentionally disqualified at SummerSlam.

His promos have been a constant highlight, and it looked as if he was one step closer to the WWE title. But unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be as Styles overcame the odds yet again to conquer Samoa Joe at Hell in a Cell.

#5 High: Brock Lesnar's return

Lesnar assaulted Reigns and Strowman

Just as it looked as if we'd seen the last of Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, The Beast re-emerged last night at Hell in a Cell, and made an immediate impact.

The over-booked contest between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman came to a conclusion when The Beast kicked down the cell door and proceeded to mercilessly attack the two competitors, forcing WWE officials to rule the match as a no-contest.

The Beast's return opens up a host of intriguing storylines. Lesnar's inclusion into the Strowman vs Reigns saga will definitely make for some interesting television. I'm extremely pleased with Lesnar's return, and I think that we are in for something special in the foreseeable future.
