WWE Hell in a Cell 2013 Will Surpass Fans' Expectations

This Sunday night, World Wrestling Entertainment will produce Hell in a Cell, live from the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

After two consecutive pay-per-view events in which fans were largely unsatisfied and disenfranchised by the product they were sold, the company is under immense pressure to deliver an event that lives up to the lofty price tag.

Failure to do so by repeating the same mistakes from Night of Champions and Battleground, two shows that have been rendered largely inconsequential thanks to events that have unfolded on Monday Night Raw immediately afterward, could lead to tremendous fan discontent.

Luckily for the company, it has gone out of its way to put together a show that has potential to be one of the most noteworthy of 2013.

The main event of the show, despite being the third straight clash between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton over the WWE title, has the added element of the Hell in a Cell. The gimmick brings with it a sense of importance as, typically, only the most heated rivalries conclude within the confines of the cage.

The inclusion of Shawn Michaels as guest referee and the potential involvement of Triple H and The Big Show adds drama to a match that otherwise may have been a tough sell as the main event of a third consecutive pay-per-view.

In the World Heavyweight Championship match, John Cena returns from two months on the sidelines following surgery to repair a torn triceps and will challenge Alberto Del Rio for the title. Cena's return, several months ahead of schedule, gives the show a huge bump in terms of star power and adds another buzz-worthy element to the event.

The expected conclusion of the CM Punk-Paul Heyman saga and the addition of a triple threat tag team match for Cody Rhodes and Goldust's titles round out a card that, on paper, has every chance to be one of the best of the year. 

Cena is an elite performer who rarely disappoints on a big stage. Del Rio has been one of the best workers in the industry all year, making the likelihood that the World title match disappoints very low.

Bryan and Orton have, on a number of occasions this year, consistently delivered near-classic matches. Their best was their No Disqualification match from Raw a few months back, but both the Night of Champions and Battleground bouts were above average.

There is little reason to believe that Sunday's match will be an exception.

The members of The Shield have been responsible for a number of Match of the Year candidates in 2013, one of which came against Cody Rhodes and Goldust on the October 14 episode of Raw. Their match with the Usos came very close to stealing the show on the Money in the Bank Kickoff show, as well.

Added at the last minute, the match again has a very good shot at surprising fans and being the best of the night. Unlike the WWE title match, which has the potential for overbooking, and the World title match that is faced with a returning Cena that may not be at his best, there is no real question mark surrounding the tag title bout. 

For the sake of the company and its relationship with its fans, the show needs to deliver and do so spectacularly. 

With so much potential for storyline development and angle advancement, as well as outstanding wrestling, fans will leave Hell in a Cell far more satisfied and have their expectations exceeded more than they have the previous two pay-per-view events.
