WWE Hell in a Cell's After Effects: Six Things We Learned

Last night, "Hell in a Cell" PPV returned for the second year in a row and, like last year, delivered six matches. Although no belts changed hands throughout the night there was crucial storyline development. 

So what did we learn last night? 

Edge stands strong and spears even better

Edge and Swagger had little time to prepare for their match, as it was announced moments before that they would be wrestling tonight. Despite the late notice, Edge managed to come out on top and spear Swagger for the win. 

Michelle McCool still on top

Natalya challenged Michelle McCool for the unified Diva’s belt but was unsuccessful in winning.

This win further puts Michelle McCool above all the other women wrestlers in the company, and push’s down Natalya who is still yet to win the women’s belt, since joining the main roster in 2008.

Daniel Bryan won’t give up

Daniel Bryan has had a controversial start in WWE since his debut series one of NXT in 2010. Only months later, he was fired for breaking PG rules on Monday night live Raw.

Bryan returned at Summerslam and went on to win the U.S title from the Miz at WWE Night of champions. Last night, he defeated John Morrison and the Miz to retain the U.S title.

Randy Orton remains in No. 1 place

Sheamus was unsuccessful in his rematch for the WWE champion against Randy Orton.

This puts Orton strongly and comfortably on top of the Raw brand, whilst Sheamus continues to sink.  Could this mean that Orton is the new poster boy for WWE?

John Cena’s poster days could be torn up 

John Cena and Wade Barrett agreed to wrestle at the PPV under the conditions that if Cena lost, he would join Nexus and if Barrett lost, Nexus would disband.  

To the excitement of John Cena haters around the world he lost the match and now has to join Nexus.

John Cena’s overdue heel turn could be just around the corner and his poster days could be in the trash.

The beginning of the end for the Undertaker?

The Undertaker and Kane’s rivalry has been going on since it was revealed that Kane was the attacker who left the Undertaker in a vegetative state. 

Kane has claimed that the Undertaker has become weak whilst Kane has grown stronger and now has become the stronger brother.

Kane’s claims were proven right when he defeated the Undertaker last night.
