These two teams stole the show last year.

This is the most recent entry on this list, the third ever tag team Hell in a Cell match. The New Day and The Usos were in a long rivalry, lasting around a third of a year, and all their matches ranged from good to stellar. The two teams stole SummerSlam from the Kickoff Show, leaving only one logical conclusion to this classic rivalry.

Jimmy and Jey Uso took a trip to the Devil's playground with Xavier Woods and Big E, with Kofi Kingston watching from outside. The four men inside the cell just battered each other to their absolute limits, showing everybody how great they are at wrestling.

Opening last year's pay-per-view, the Tag Team titles were once again the best part of the show. In a period where every show was putting on an excellent Tag Team Championship match, between The Usos vs The New Day and The Bar vs Rollins and Ambrose, this Cell match was probably the best one.

Xavier Woods was a star here, as he had been during the entire feud with the Samoan twins. Each team laid their offense in with flawless crispness and unimaginable brutality. It blew everybody's expectations completely out of the water. We knew it would be good, just not this good.

One of the Usos being trapped to the corner of the Cell with kendo sticks was one particular highlight in this incredible match that we will remember for years to come. But the performance of all involved, including Kofi and his expressions on the outside, raised the Bar of tag team wrestling in the WWE.

A bar that has not been reached yet on the main roster, since this match. The Usos won the match and the feud, regaining their titles after a Superkick rampage. This match was so good that it practically turned the evil Usos into babyfaces. Two teams that were involved in a bitter and personal feud, for the entire summer and more, suddenly earned a new-found respect for each other. That's what Hell in a Cell can do.
