Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks at WWE Hell in a Cell 2016 in the first women’s match ever to take place inside WWE Hell in a Cell.

It was reported by Top Rope Wrestling before the match that Flair’s request to hit a moonsault from the top of WWE Hell in a Cell was rejected by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

Ric Flair confirmed to Busted Open Radio that two “huge spots” were removed from the match, including a moonsault, but he did not confirm whether or not the risky move would have been executed from the top of the WWE Hell in a Cell structure.

“They took two huge spots out of the match, during the match, because they were afraid Sasha was going to get hurt. If the original plan had been, there were two things and I don't want to say what they were, but you can only imagine. One of them involved a moonsault.” [H/T Cageside Seats]

As of the time of writing, The Queen’s match against Banks remains her only appearance inside WWE Hell in a Cell.

Banks competed in another WWE Hell in a Cell match against Becky Lynch in 2019, while she is currently preparing to face Bayley inside the cell at the upcoming WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
