The 2018 WWE Hell in a Cell match between Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton is best remembered for the screwdriver incident, but the riskiest spot in the match actually came at the end.

For those who are not aware, Orton twisted a screwdriver through Hardy’s stretched earlobe midway through the match. The sequence lasted almost two minutes, including Orton grabbing the screwdriver from a toolbox, before Hardy struck his opponent with a low-blow.

Later in the match, Hardy set Orton up on a table and climbed to the top of a ladder in the middle of the ring. The three-time WWE World Champion then swung back and forth from the top of the WWE Hell in a Cell ceiling before attempting to hit a splash on Orton.

The Viper moved out of the way of the splash at the last moment, meaning Hardy went crashing through the table.

The referee ordered that the WWE Hell in a Cell structure should be raised in order to let Hardy receive medical treatment. However, Orton had one last goal to accomplish: defeat his opponent.

After a disagreement with the referee, Orton finally covered Hardy to pick up the victory.

This Hardy spot was not only a lot safer than Mick Foley’s ceiling-to-canvas fall, but it was also part of the WWE Hell in a Cell script.
