5 Reasons why the WWE Hell in a Cell 2019 Main Event angered some fans

#2. The finish was confusing to many fans.

Many fans went home confused after the finish of the Hell in a Cell main event match.

Seth Rollins delivered a severe beating to The Fiend during the climax of the Hell in a Cell main event match, piling weapons on top of him and then striking the whole mess with a hammer.

Traditionally, Hell in a Cell matches are no disqualification affairs, so many fans were confused when the referee called for an end to the match, after Rollins ignored his orders and hit The Fiend with the hammer.

So, what happened? At first, most fans assumed that the finish was a DQ, but there were other ideas floating about on social media as well.

Did they announce a DQ or was it a mercy ending? Like a boxing official ending a fight before more damage was done? That's how I saw the finish.

WWE's official website tried to clear up the controversy with this explanation, which for many fans came too little, too late.

“Clearly sensing that a line was about to be crossed, the referee tried to stop Rollins from using the hammer. But The Beastslayer did it anyway, bringing the tool straight down on the whole pile, causing the ref to wave off the match while a crew of medics tended to Wyatt. Rollins, who was clearly on the verge of madness, made the mistake of straddling his fallen foe and quickly found himself ensnared in the Mandible Claw as Wyatt rose up from his back and continued his attack."

So, straight from the horse's mouth, it seems as if neither man won the match, but it shouldn't have taken several hours of speculation and an explanation on a website to get that point across to fans.
