Hell in a Cell 2018: Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella vs The Miz & Maryse, winners, video highlights & analysis

Since WWE SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan has had back up in the form of Brie Bella, who has attempted to negate the effects of Maryse. After The Miz defeated Bryan a month ago after interference from the former Diva's Champion, the two couples were put in a tag team title match at Hell in a Cell.

Maryse teased starting the match with Brie but then ran over to The Miz, tagging him in.

The Miz got a cheap shot in when Maryse distracted Daniel Bryan, allowing Miz to connect with a big boot before beating down his long-time rival with a flurry of fists. Bryan would eventually get the upper hand and would chase The Miz away with an attempted Yes Lock.
