WWE WrestleMania 28 Results: Undertaker vs. Triple H Didn't Need the Cell

In what was one of the most anticipated matches of WrestleMania 28, Undertaker managed to extend his streak to a perfect 20-0 with his Hell in a Cell victory over Triple H. The match was a phenomenal brawl that told an even better story. In addition, the near-falls in this match were about as convincing as ever.

However, after the match, I was left wondering exactly why the bout took place inside the cell.

The most interaction Undertaker and Triple H had with the cage surrounding them was when they brawled around the outside of the ring in the early portion of the match. The fans in the first few rows of the crowd should be thankful for the cell because someone would have been hit by the sledgehammer Triple H threw.

I believe that the minimal use of the cell slightly hurt the match. Like I said, the match, especially the story told, was amazing. The fact that it was a Hell in a Cell match added to my personal expectations, though. Because they didn't use the cell much, I was left a bit disappointed in that regard.

Perhaps I wouldn't be disappointed had they fought in a regular No Holds Barred match, like last year. Sure, it would have also been slightly disappointing to have them wrestle under the same stipulation as last year, just with Shawn Michaels thrown in as guest referee.

Some would argue that the cell adds a certain mystique to the contest. I would have to agree. But it also comes with certain expectations that Triple H and Undertaker failed to live up to, to some extent.
