#5 Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Championship

The in-ring chemistry between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley was on show at Hell in a Cell as the two wrestled in a solid contest. The Queen cheaply used the RAW Women's Championship to distract Ripley to gain control at the start, before The Nightmare fought her way back.

Most of the match was a stalemate, although Flair did use some of Andrade's trademark offense. It seemed like she would get the victory with the Figure Four Leglock, but Ripley survived.

The RAW Women's Champion eventually had enough and blasted her challenger with a piece of the announce table, which caused her to get disqualified. While Rhea Ripley did stand tall at Hell in a Cell, the result was not satisfying. While the action was good, the booking surrounding it wasn't.

Grade: B


#4 Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell

In the first of two rematches from WrestleMania 37 at Hell in a Cell, Seth Rollins took on Cesaro in an entertaining contest. The match started after he assaulted The Swiss Superman during his entrance and the intensity only picked up from there.

Cesaro and Rollins are capable of brilliance together, with their match providing further proof. It was pretty competitive, although the four-time WWE world champion was more on top. Cesaro got back in the contest, though, with a series of uppercuts that stunned his more established rival.

The Swiss Superman came close with a Sharpshooter, then a crossface. However, Seth Rollins was able to pull out the victory at Hell in a Cell with a roll-up. This did lack some of the fire their WrestleMania match had, which saw Cesaro gain an emphatic victory. Nevertheless, it was a solid showing.

Grade: B+
