WWE Hell in a Cell is one of the most anticipated pay-per-views of the year as fans get to witness some major rivalries take place inside the demonic structure. Over the years, Hell in a Cell has given us some of the most brutal and memorable matches.
Last year’s event was no different, as fans witnessed an epic battle between Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch inside the Hell in a Cell for the RAW Women’s Championship. That wasn’t all, as fans were also looking forward to a huge match between Seth Rollins and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship.
It was also the last time Bayley lost her SmackDown Women’s Championship, while Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns teamed up during the night for a big tag team match.
In this article, we will look back at the winners of last year’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view and where they are now.
#9 Natalya defeated Lacey Evans at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
Only one match was contested during the WWE Hell in a Cell 2019 pre-show in which Natalya faced Lacey Evans. The two women almost competed for ten minutes, after which Natalya locked in the Sharpshooter on Evans to win the match.
Natalya is part of WWE SmackDown, where she is currently without any major feud. This will likely keep her away from this year’s Hell in a Cell event unless WWE plans to book a multi-team Women’s Tag Team Championship match for the event.
During the pres-how, Mustafa Ali and Randy Orton also had a confrontation, which led to a match between them later in the PPV.
#8 RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeated Sasha Banks inside WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
The first match of WWE Hell in a Cell 2019 main show saw Becky Lynch defend her RAW Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks in a Hell in a Cell match. This was a brutal 20-minute match that was filled with some big spots.
In the final moments of the match, Lynch delivered a Bexploder to Banks from the top rope onto multiple steel chairs before making her tapout to the Dis-arm-her to retain the title.
Lynch is currently out of action as she is pregnant. She relinquished her RAW Women’s Championship following the Money in the Bank pay-per-view this year.
Banks, on the other hand, is booked for a match against Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at this year’s WWE Hell in a Cell.
#7 Randy Orton defeated Mustafa Ali at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
Mustafa Ali and Randy Orton competed in a singles match at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019. While Ali was still new to the main roster, he did give Orton a run for his money. However, The Viper struck with an RKO to end Ali’s hopes of pulling off an upset.
Orton is currently in a heated rivalry with Drew McIntyre. Even though Orton has gotten a few shots at McIntyre’s WWE Championship, he has been unlucky at winning it.
However, both men will come face to face in a Hell in a Cell match during this year’s PPV, and we could end up seeing Orton become a World Champion once again.
Ali, on the other hand, was recently revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION. However, at the time of writing, he is currently not on the card for this year's Hell in a Cell PPV.
#6 Charlotte Flair defeated SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
While Bayley has held the SmackDown Women’s Championship for a year now, her previous reign came to an end at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019. During last year’s event, Bayley defended her title against Charlotte Flair.
Flair forced Bayley to tap out to the Figure Eight Leglock to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship for the fifth time in her career.
Flair is currently on a break from WWE. She will likely return to the company sooner than later. Bayley, on the other hand, will be defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks during this year’s show.
#5 Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns defeated Erick Rowan and Luke Harper at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
Last year’s WWE Hell in a Cell hosted a Tornado Tag Team match between Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, and Erick Rowan and Luke Harper.
The match went on for over 15 minutes and both teams did well to keep the action going. At the end of the match, Reigns hit Harper with a Superman Punch, followed by a Spear to pick up the victory for his team. Reigns and Bryan hugged after the match.
Both men are currently on WWE SmackDown, where Reigns is the Universal Champion and is a full-fledged heel. He will take on his cousin Jey Uso in a Hell in a Cell "I Quit" match for the Universal Championship this year.
Bryan recently returned to SmackDown and has not been involved in any feud, which means that he will likely sit out this year’s Hell in a Cell event.
#4 Shorty G (Chad Gable) defeated King Corbin at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
Chad Gable and King Corbin competed during last year’s WWE Hell in a Cell to bring an end to their extended rivalry. While Corbin tried the usual heelish tactics to win the match, Gable was able to roll up the former United States Champion to pick up the victory.
After the match, Gable requested the ring announcer to call him Shorty Gable. Shorty G is currently performing on the WWE SmackDown brand but seems to be directionless, much like his opponents from last year's Hell in a Cell, King Corbin. He will likely not compete at this year’s WWE Hell in a Cell PPV.
#3 Asuka & Kairi Sane defeated the Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross defended their titles against Asuka and Kairi Sane (The Kabuki Warriors) at WWE Hell in a Cell. Bliss and Cross were babyfaces at the time, while Asuka and Sane were heels.
At the end of the match, Asuka spat green mist in Cross’ face and rolled her up to pick up the victory. This marked The Kabuki Warriors' first and only reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
Asuka has since gone on to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, which led to her becoming the RAW Women’s Champion. Sane, on the other hand, has left WWE to move back to Japan.
While there are no active rivalries for Asuka, there’s still a chance that she’ll be booked for a RAW Women’s Championship match at WWE Hell in a Cell.
#2 The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) & Braun Strowman defeated The OC at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
United States Champion AJ Styles and his OC stablemates Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson faced The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) and a partner of their choosing at WWE Hell in a Cell.
Viking Raiders revealed Braun Strowman as their partner, and fans got a fun match at the event. While Strowman and his partners dominated The OC, the three men used weapons to attack The Monster Among Men, which led to the match ending in disqualification. The Viking Raiders and Strowman were awarded the victory.
Strowman has since become the Universal Champion once and is currently on WWE RAW, where he is in a rivalry with Keith Lee. Ivar of The Viking Raiders recently suffered an injury that required surgery and will be out on a hiatus. As a result, his tag team partner Erik, who is a part of RAW, is currently without a direction.
#1 Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs. ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt ended in a referee stoppage at WWE Hell in a Cell
The main event of last year’s WWE Hell in a Cell saw Seth Rollins defend his Universal Championship against ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt inside the demonic structure. The WWE Universe was looking forward to this match and the arena was bathed in red lighting.
Rollins hit The Fiend 11 Stomps and a Pedigree during the match, but the latter kicked out from every pinfall attempt. Out of desperation, The Architect used several weapons, which forced the referee to end the match without a winner. After the match, The Fiend rose once again to attack Rollins and lay him out with a couple of Sister Abigails and The Mandible Claw.
Rollins is now a heel in WWE, where he has been drafted to SmackDown. He is playing the role of The Messiah and seems to be working well as a major heel in the company. Rollins is part of a bitter rivalry with Rey Mysterio and his son.
Wyatt, on the other hand, has been drafted to WWE RAW, where he has aligned himself with Alexa Bliss. Both Superstars are doing a terrific job at building their story and partnership.
Currently, neither Superstar is booked for a match at this year’s WWE Hell in a Cell.
