Hell in a Cell was a stacked pay-per-view despite the fact that just an hour before the pay-per-view began there were just four matches officially announced for the main card. WWE was able to add a number of bouts to the event at the last minute and in the end, aside from the ending to the show, the crowd in attendance was fully behind every match that was presented.

There were just two title changes on the night, and both were in women's matches that were announced in the last few days. Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins both retained their Championships inside the steel structure, even though both endings were very different.

In total there were nine matches on the night and anyone who watched the show live will know that there were some interesting stats that were made as part of these matchups.


#5 Becky Lynch finally defeats Sasha Banks

Becky Lynch defeated Sasha Banks in her first-ever Hell in a Cell match last night, and it was a win that meant much more than just retaining her Raw Women's Championship. Lynch and Banks included a number of throwbacks to the first-ever Women's Hell in a Cell match back in 2015, but Banks was unable to pick up the victory she longed for inside the structure.

That being said, Banks has quite a record against Becky Lynch in one-on-one matches, which boded well for her heading into this event, but The Man was able to force Banks to tap, which was her first-ever victory against The Boss in a one-on-one match.

Heading into the show, Banks was undefeated against Lynch when they collided one-on-one, but inside Hell in a Cell Lynch was able to end The Boss' streak.

#4 Tamina Snuka's title drought comes to an end

Tamina Snuka was a shock Championship winner last night at Hell in a Cell, but sadly her victory won't be making any headlines coming out of the show since she was pinned by R-Truth later in the show to make him a 20-time 24/7 Champion.

The one thing that Snuka will be happy about coming out of Hell in a Cell is the fact that her title drought has finally come to an end. Snuka has gone nine years without a Championship in WWE following her debut alongside The Usos back in 2010. It's the longest title drought of any wrestler on the current WWE roster.

There are many other women in the company that still await a Championship reign, and the likes of Rosa Mendes and Stacy Keibler were able to have lengthy careers without winning Championships, but Snuka has the longest record of the active roster. Last night, even though Tamina's title reign was short, it meant that she was no longer on the list of female wrestlers who were yet to lift a title in their lengthy careers.

#3 The third no-contest ending to a Hell in a Cell match in history

The Hell in a Cell concept is designed to end feuds in a way that the superstars can then move on knowing that there was a definitive full stop to their rivalry, but in recent years this hasn't been the case. There is no escaping Hell in a Cell, and there is no way that a superstar can get disqualified, which makes it the perfect match, but WWE has decided to tweak this somewhat since Hell in a Cell has become an annual event and now there is a way to continue a feud afterward.

Last night Seth Rollins was able to retain his Universal Championship when the referee called for the bell because The Fiend wasn't reacting to any of the abuse that Rollins was handing out. In boxing and MMA the referee can call the match if he doesn't feel that a competitor is defending themselves and it appears that this was the case last night.

This is the second no-contest ending in two years since Brock Lesnar burst into Roman Reigns' Hell in a Cell match against Braun Strowman last year and attacked both men. Before 2018 the only time that Hell in a Cell had ended controversially was when Kane took on Mankind on Raw back in 1998.

#2 Charlotte Flair is a 10-time Champion

Charlotte Flair was able to force SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley to tap to The Figure Eight as part of last night's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, which gave The Queen her 10th Women's Championship in just four years.

Aside from the 24/7 or Hardcore Championship, Charlotte Flair has now amassed the most title reigns in the shortest period of time. This is a statistic that WWE should see as much more problematic than something that should be celebrated.

Flair has been at the top of the pile in the Women's Division since she defeated Nikki Bella at Night of Champions to become Divas Champion back in 2015. Over the past few years, Charlotte has been able to capture the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships a number of times and even break Trish Stratus' long-time record quite easily.

Flair has been the most decorated female wrestler in the company's history for a long time now and it appears that WWE is looking for her to hit her father's 16-time Championship record before 2021 so that she can retire young and happy.

#1 Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns remain undefeated

Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns teamed together to take on both Luke Harper and Erick Rowan at last night's show after what has been an interesting storyline surrounding the attacks on Roman Reigns, which took place heading into SummerSlam earlier this year.

Reigns found out that Rowan was the man responsible for the attacks when video evidence was brought to light, and Bryan turned his back on his former tag team partner when it was made clear that he wasn't a fan of liars. This then led to a match between Roman and Rowan at Clash of Champions, but Luke Harper returned to WWE and helped Rowan pick up a much-needed win over The Big Dog.

Their feud has continued following Clash of Champions and at Hell in a Cell, it was Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns who picked up the victory, which means that the duo remains undefeated as a tag team. They are now 5-0 when they team together as a duo, and 8-0 when they are part of a much bigger team together, which includes five on five matches.
