Hell in a Cell 2018 was every bit of heinous, barbaric, and unforgiving as it promised to be, and the creative team made some right choices to bring more anticipation towards the future.
Since the event is generally known to alter careers of the superstars that enter the unforgiving structure, Hell in a Cell had its moments which took the audience in-attendance, and at home by surprise.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyse the 5 shocking moments that happened at Hell in a Cell 2018.
#1 Becky Lynch decimates Charlotte Flair and wins the SmackDown Live Women's Championship
In what was a pretty gruesome encounter between the two former best friends, Becky Lynch laid it all on the line and emerged victorious by pinning Charlotte Flair to win the title that had eluded her for a long, long time.
Both superstars delivered a fantastic match, with lots of intense and amazing spots. Since Charlotte was working this feud as a babyface, the fans were literally shocked that the Relentless Lass Kicker dethroned the Queen to win the title.
Becky worked Charlotte's arm for a significant proportion of the match and brought her A game to win the SmackDown Live Women's Championship.
With the timing and placement of the match being so perfect, the match was engaging enough to shock the fans with an unpredictable finish.
#2 AJ Styles defeats Samoa Joe in controversial fashion
There's no denying that AJ Styles and Samoa Joe if provided with enough creative freedom can bring some intriguing narrative between the ropes while complimenting each others' styles.
Something of such stature transpired at Hell in a Cell. Both superstars delivered a good match with Samoa Joe brilliantly enacting his heel persona.
However, The Phenomenal One's victory in controversial fashion ended The Destroyer's hopes of walking out of Hell in a Cell as the WWE Champion.
The moment came after Samoa Joe successfully locked AJ Styles into the Coquina Clutch which led many fans to believe that The Destroyer will finally have his moment.
The WWE Champion countered the heinous submission by pinning The Destroyer in controversial fashion, this was possibly done to extend the feud till Super Show-Down.
#3 Daniel Bryan loses yet again
Considering how WWE has booked Daniel Bryan, it seems likely that The Beard will most probably settle the score with The Miz at a later date.
The It Couple entered the arena with a lot of promise, but after defeating Bryan at SummerSlam through a collective effort, a lot of fans thought that the night will end with Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella seeking redemption.
However, the night didn't end well for Bryan and Bella. Both superstars tried everything in their feud to bring fire to this personal animosity.
While WWE completely protected Daniel Bryan, Maryse pinning Brie Bella brought another loss to his record against The Awesome One.
Since the feud is most likely to continue, the fans were, however, completely surprised by how things transpired as The Miz and Maryse were successful yet again in defeating Bryan and Bella.
#4 Randy Orton attempts the most heinous act in recent memory and delivers a classic with Jeff Hardy
There's no doubt in my mind that Randy Orton is possibly the most sadistic of villains in the history of professional wrestling, and he has only just begun.
His feud with Jeff Hardy was downright personal since the beginning, and WWE settling it inside Hell in a Cell was only a justification that things were about to get intense.
With The Charismatic Enigma laying all on the line to dismantle The Viper, the latter did something nobody really expected, and in a way went too far from what was expected.
Randy Orton took out a screwdriver from inside the ring and used it as a weapon to twist Jeff Hardy's ear, in what looked a pretty disturbing and deranged move by the Viper.
Since the match was solely based on Orton's attempt to delete The Enigma, there's a sure possibility that WWE might tap into this heinous act by The Viper and bring in Brother Nero.
#5 Brock Lesnar shocks the world by interrupting the main-event
Possibly the most shocking moment of the night came in the main event of Hell in a Cell that saw Roman Reigns defend his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman.
With both superstars locked inside the cage with Mick Foley as the Special Guest Referee, the fans were expecting an all-out war, and while they did deliver a fantastic match, The Beast Incarnate's shocking entry stole the show.
The fans were literally surprised by Brock Lesnar's return as he destroyed both superstars and stood tall in the middle of the ring to end the night.
Considering how things have transpired recently, it seems like The Beast is still not done with the company and could be returning back to win the Universal Championship, yet again.
Something of this stature has the audience intrigued, and will possibly provide more answers when Monday Night Raw comes rolling tonight.
