Full Card:

• Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy (Hell in a Cell match)
• Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (SmackDown Women's Championship)
• Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre vs. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins (Raw Tag Team Championship)
• AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)

• Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman (Hell in a Cell match for Universal Championship)

Despite having one of the most despised finishes in Hell in a Cell history, there was a lot to like about the 2018 installment.

The first four matches were simply stellar. Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy had a chaotic grudge match inside The Devil's Playground to kick things off followed by Becky Lynch besting Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship in the kind of quality contest you'd expect from them.

The Shield then had an absolute gem of a match against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre for the Raw Tag Team Championship. As if that wasn't enough, AJ Styles and Samoa Joe turned on the style as they always did with the WWE Championship for grabs, culminating in The Phenomenal One retaining his title.

The last three matches on the show weren't nearly as hot, but they were still serviceable and accomplished what they needed to. Unfortunately, the Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman main event fell short of expectations due to Brock Lesnar's interference, but his shock return was exciting enough to end the night on a high note.

While not the greatest WWE PPV ever, this was certainly the strongest Hell in a Cell card the company has produced yet, although Sunday's show has a real chance of topping it.
