There are some impressive stats coming out of Hell in a Cell

WWE Hell in a Cell boasted just six official matches heading into the show and, interestingly, only seven actually took place. Whilst the three Hell in a Cell matches dominated the show, there were also bouts between Elias and Jeff Hardy, and Slapjack and Bobby Lashley. There was even a match between R-Truth and Drew Gulak for the 24/7 Championship on the Kick-Off Show.

The Miz also successfully challenged Otis for his Money in the Bank contract. Miz is now a two-time Mr. Money in the Bank, almost a decade to the day that the former World Champion cashed in on Randy Orton.

There were several title changes and many stats that deserve to be documented coming out of last night's Hell in a Cell event. Let's take a look.


#5 Randy Orton's history inside Hell in a Cell

Randy Orton stepped into his eighth Hell in a Cell match last night and walked out victorious. Out of those eight matches, Orton has challenged for the WWE Championship on three occasions and won each time.

Interestingly, the WWE Championship has only changed hands inside the Hell in a Cell structure four times, and Randy Orton was the winner in three of those matches.

The Legend Killer is yet to lose a match inside Satan's Structure when the WWE Championship is on the line. The only other time that the WWE Championship changed hands inside the structure was when Alberto Del Rio defeated John Cena and CM Punk in a triple threat match back in 2011.

Orton's appearance in the cell also takes him to third in the list of Superstars who have competed in the most HIAC matches, behind The Undertaker with 14 matches and Triple H with nine.

#4 The Miz becomes two-time Mr. Money in the Bank at Hell in a Cell

The Miz managed to bribe Judge JBL into granting him a match against Otis for the Money in the Bank contract at Hell in a Cell. However, it was Tucker who turned on his best friend and cost him the match.

The Miz's win means he is now a two-time Mr. Money in the Bank. He's just the second man to win the Money in the Bank contract in a regular match, after Mr. Kennedy more than 13 years ago.

The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Randy Orton a decade ago to become champion. Now, the Showoff has already hinted that history could repeat itself following Orton's victory over Drew McIntyre in the main event at Hell in a Cell.

It's interesting to note that The Miz decided against cashing in his contract on the night that he won it. However, Mr. Money in the Bank has made it clear that his target is The Viper, which could be the storyline for Orton moving into Survivor Series.

#3 Otis loses his streak at Hell in a Cell

Otis was forced to defend his Money in the Bank contract at Hell in a Cell last night. While it was a heartbreaking defeat for the former member of Heavy Machinery, it's actually much worse than first thought.

In recent weeks, Otis has lost Mandy Rose to RAW, he was forced to split with Tucker when he was also drafted to the red brand, and last night his Money in the Bank contract was taken away.

While Otis had a rough night at Hell in a Cell, there is also a statistic that makes matters much worse. It was the first singles loss that Otis has felt in eight singles matches.

Otis' winning streak stretched back to July 2019, but it now seems that WWE has completely given up on the former Mr. Money in the Bank.

#2 Sasha Banks becomes a Grand Slam champion at Hell in a Cell

Sasha Banks has joined Charlotte and Bayley as Grand Slam champions in WWE, after she was able to lift the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship for the first time at Hell in a Cell.

Banks has now won the NXT Women's Championship, WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, WWE RAW Women's Championship, and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship, which puts her in an elite group.

It's worth noting that Banks also made history since she took the title from a woman with whom she previously held the Tag Team Championships with, making her the first woman in history to do so.

The Boss had never won a Hell in a Cell match, or taken a championship from Bayley, before last night's event. She has now managed to overcome both of these obstacles.

Banks walked into last night's show knowing that the odds were stacked against her. However, The Boss was the one who walked out with the title held high.

#1 Randy Orton equals Triple H's World Championship haul at Hell in a Cell

Randy Orton walked into his eighth Hell in a Cell match last night and walked out as World Champion. The feud with Drew McIntyre pushed Orton to the peak of his Legend Killer ways. Despite losing his last two championship matches against McIntyre, he was granted the third match by the champion himself.

McIntyre had several legends in his corner at Clash of Champions, but this time around he was forced to go it alone in the steel structure. In the battle of Claymore vs. RKO, it was the latter that came out on top.

This Hell in a Cell win now meant that Randy Orton equalled Triple H's World Championship haul at 14. It also takes him just two title reigns away from the record, which is held by both Ric Flair and John Cena.

The fact that Orton is now the only active name out of the three Superstars on the list means that he could now be closing in on WWE's biggest and longest-held record.
