Hell in a Cell has been billed as one of the most brutal pay-per-views of the year and as the company debuted the red version of the historic structure, it hard not to look at the structure a little differently.

Eight matches were officially scheduled to take place at the event and once again WWE delivered. It was a fantastic show that now has the WWE Universe waiting on eggshells for Monday Night Raw to find out where the next piece of the puzzle will go.

Despite this being a fantastic advert for WWE, there were a number of botches as part of the show once again and here are some that you might have missed.


#4 Charlotte and Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch challenged Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Championship but it felt as though the steam had already been taken out of these two women since their match was very botchy.

Charlotte and Becky went for the International spot at the beginning of their match and instead of going for the sleep and leap part of the spot, Becky looked to take Charlotte down and The Queen didn't seem as though she was ready for the takedown because it took a few moments for her to maintain her grounding and move forward with the move.

This wasn't the only botch in the match since both women seemed to be backing off from one another throughout which lead to a number of tense moments. The match picked up towards the end, but it was hard to get past some of the sketchier moments from two of the best women's wrestlers in WWE right now.

#3 Mick Foley's fast count

Mick Foley was a strange late addition to the Hell in a Cell match between Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns as the special guest referee, but The Hardcore Legend almost called the bout to a close much quicker than he should have when he almost counted the pin after one of the first biggest moves of the match.

Mick counted the three count before correcting himself to say it was only two when Braun hit Roman with a chokeslam inside the first few minutes.

Mick hasn't been in a ring for a while and it appears that he was unaware that he was counting much faster than he should have so he was then forced to alter how fast he was counting for the rest of the match.

#2 Alexa Bliss didn't want to take out her friends

Alexa Bliss challenged Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell and it was actually a much longer match than expected. Bliss took the fight to Rousey, who was humanized by the fact that she walked into the match with injured ribs.

Despite the injury, the two women put on an interesting bout before Mickie James and Alicia Fox decided to get involved on the outside. It was the two former Divas Champions that caused the biggest botch of the match when they failed to collect Bliss when she rolled towards them. The timing from all three women made the botch look much worse than it was, but interestingly it was the only real sour point of the entire match.

#1 Jeff Hardy falls through a table despite Orton not being there

Jeff Hardy took on Randy Orton inside Hell in a Cell and it was one of the most brutal matches on the card as The Viper once again went after Hardy's ear with a screwdriver but received a number of chair shots for his efforts which left him bloodied by the end of the bout.

The end of the match came when Hardy looked as though he was going to leapfrog over a ladder, but instead decided to climb across the roof of the cage and drop through the table that Orton was on. Awkwardly, it seems as though either Hardy held on for too long or Orton moved too quickly since Jeff went on to fall through the table even though he looked down before he dropped and there wasn't anyone actually there.
