3 reasons why Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton was the best match at Hell In A Cell

Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy managed to steal the show with their Hell in a Cell bout this Sunday. Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy were involved in a great feud from the last one month. Both the wrestlers had carried their storyline well and managed to enthrall the audience into supporting them. And at Hell in a Cell, it was quite evident that both the wrestlers delivered.

The Viper managed to beat The Enigma Jeff Hardy in a 25-minute affair which saw some breathtaking sequences and near pin-falls. Both the wrestlers delivered to the best of their talents and end result did not disappoint any. Here we look at the 3 reasons why Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton was the best match at the Hell in a Cell PPV.

#3 Returning heel Randy Orton

Randy Orton returned from his long hiatus as a heel and had the entire crowd cheering his heel turn. After delivering one of the best promos in the history of WWE, Orton immediately found himself feuding with Jeff Hardy. The Enigma, who was at that point of time in a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship, found himself at indefinite brutality from the hands of the Legend Killer. It never felt like Jeff Hardy was out of the title picture because the feud was built so well around two of the best wrestlers of WWE.

Truth be told, it's been really long since we saw The Viper in action. Randy Orton is a born heel and we saw a glimpse of it recently in the HIAC match. It's always fun to watch the sly smiling Viper preying upon his opponents. The match involved everything that could have made the audience slightly out of its discomfort zones. Especially the screwdriver segment. Randy Orton as a heel in any match is always great to watch and this match wasn't all about RKO's outta nowhere.

#2 It wasn't just about the Cell

It was brutal in

very definition

This match was the first of the two matches that were scheduled for the night. Even though this was a non-title match, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton used all the props possible to make their match more interesting. There were ladders, chairs, tables, not a lot of RKO attempts, and quite fascinatingly there was a screwdriver which was used to pull off one of the most disturbing segments in the WWE's PG era.

#1 All the chants during the fight

Was the ending botched?

The audience poured into the heel-babyface drama. What made this match more interesting was the involvement of the audience. Both the wrestlers came out with a pop and every chair shot saw the audience cheering for their favorite wrestler. The audience chanted "Delete" repeatedly as Jeff Hardy ran and jumped off the chair to drive Randy Orton onto the steel cage. Fans tried to rally Hardy a number of times during the match. "Holy Sh*t" reverberated inside the arena at Jeff Hardy's failed attempt which saw him falling face-down onto the tables for a pinfall.
