A Modest Blog on improving Hell in a Cell

Columns, Features

The WWE is dropping the ball having their Hell in a Cell Pay Per View have the same card as the last show, Breaking Point. By putting on the same card twice, not only are they training the audience that they don’t need to spend money on the shows, but they are also over exposing the Raw card, since all but three matches on that show were of this brand. There is a simple means of fixing the Hell in the Cell card that the WWE didn’t take, which would keep Raw to one or two matches on the show, allowing the other brands to shine, without hurting the final product. That solution: War Games.

War Games in the Cell, with only one ring, would allow Raw to shine for this show without dominating it. They already have the perfect feud set up for this match type. Legacy with Big Show and Chris Jericho vs. D-X, MVP, John Cena and either Mark Henry or Batista would keep all the individual feuds fresh while still paying tribute to the demands of the show. An injury angle with Henry would get Batista in, if his return were saved, allowing that to be another selling point instead. With that, we’d get Punk vs. Undertaker in the Cell, Christian vs. Zach Ryder, John Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler, Hart Dynasty vs. Cryme Tyme, and Miz vs. Kofi Kingston. That’s a fresh card with several guys who aren’t usually on Pay Per View and then when the feuds were returned to for the next show, they’d have a rest and be draws again.
