WWE Hell in a Cell 2011 Results.



John Cena goes to Hell, the sub theme of tonight's pay-per-view. At the end of the night, he went to hell and was put out of hell as a new WWE Champion was crowned.

Hell in a Cell was not the best pay-per-view of the year, but it was not the worse either.

Sheamus defeats Christian
Opening up with Christian and Sheamus I thought was a very good idea. This was not a match that I was necessarily interested in seeing, but its one of those get it out the way matches. It was not too long, bro kick and Sheamus wins. Someone tweeted that Christian will probably state, one more match, that will be interesting.

Sin Cara defeats Sin Cara II
This match should was much better since they are no longer wearing the same ring attire. At first I was bored with it, but they gained momentum in the end and it was the original Sin Cara standing up for the victory.

Air-Boom defeats Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE Tag team Titles
Personally, I thought this match was nothing special. At one point, I thought that Ziggler and Swagger would get the titles, but personally I think it makes sense to keep them around Air-Boom. I rather see them lose the titles to a more established tag team.

Mark Henry defeats Randy Orton to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
In the first of two Hell in A Cell matches, Randy Orton gave Mark Henry everything he had. The two went inside and out the ring, and when Orton realized the RKO would not be enough, he had a confused look in his eyes. When he attempted to go for the punt that had previously won him world titles, it was Mark Henry intercepting him for the World Strongest Slam to retain the World title. After the match, Henry attempted to destroy Orton's ankle, but Orton would counter it and beat Henry with the chair continuously.


Cody Rhodes defeats John Morrison to retain the Intercontinental Championship
Before this impromptu match, Cody Rhodes revealed a brand new Intercontinental Title. He returned to the white belt that was once worn by Shawn Michaels and the Ultimate Warrior. Rhodes unexpected to perform was not ready for this match and many times throughout the match, he attempted to get himself counted out, but when forced to get back in the ring, Rhodes carefully picked his spots and gained the victory.

Beth Phoenix defeats Kelly Kelly to win the Divas Championship
After losing to Kelly Kelly at Summerslam and Night of Champions, Beth Phoenix knew that it was now or never. Throughout the match, Kelly Kelly used her speed as she did in her two victories. But with Natalya being in Beth Phoenix corner, we knew it would be a matter of time for her to get involved, especially since she has been a victim also. When the opportunity presented itself, Natalya hit Kelly Kelly with the "pipe-bomb" after she harassed her while she was on the receiving end of a submission move. This would allow Phoenix to execute the glam slam and win the Divas Championship.

Alberto Del Rio defeats John Cena and CM Punk to win the WWE Championship
After losing the WWE Championship two weeks ago, many thought that Alberto Del Rio was just a fluke. In tonight's match, Del Rio proved otherwise. Throughout the match, Del Rio was the target. However, he got a chair and used that to his advantage. When that was taken from him, his ring announcer would get involved and open the door and provide him with a pipe and the keys to the cell. After Del Rio received the keys, he locked Cena out of the cell, and beat Punk profusely with it and John Cena was forced to watch his WWE Championship slip through his hands.
After the match, and the cell was being raised, Miz and R-Truth, who had previously beat up the tag team champs back stage would run down and destroy everyone in the ring. As the cell was lowered, Truth and Miz  were allowed to do as much damage as they wanted. The entire WWE locker room and the local police came down but no one could get in the cell. After the door was unlocked, the two were arrested. As they were being escorted, Triple H shoved Johnny Ace out of his way as he ran to the two and beat on them until they were escorted out of the arena.

WWE Extreme Rules Post Thoughts.


Extreme Rules was the best Pay-Per-View I have seen by the WWE in years. I missed the Orton and Punk match, but from what everyone is telling me it was great. Kingston and Sheamus put on a very good match. When Sheamus first arrived, I thought he was pushed too fast, and I was not impressed. However, I saw that he had great matches with Kingston in the past, and Morrison. Kingston even looked aggressive in this match which really helps him a lot. This truly seemed like an extreme rules night and this in my opinion help set the night up for what we were about to see. When he leaped onto Sheamus to secure his victory, I was happy that I was treated to a great match.
Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio had a great match also. I thought that they had a potential show stealer at WrestleMania. This matched followed up very well. To see them go backstage seem like Vince McMahon meant what he said when he stated, "in order to move forward, we must go back a little" I had a feeling Rey would win this match, but I must say, he did not bore me with it.
Michael Cole and Jack Swagger vs JR and the King is not even worth writing about. For Cole to win again makes no sense at all.
Michelle McCool and Layla had a great match. Even with all the buzz around that McCool was leaving the WWE, she left giving the fans something to remember. Her and Layla actually went out and pull out everything. In the end, it was Layla winning and McCool leaving the WWE. As she got up, she was great by none other than Kharma. Formerly known as Awesome Kong in TNA, she came out and made a huge impact on the Divas division immediately. As if, being defeated by her former best friend Layla was not enough, Being driven straight to hell by a 200 pound behemoth put Michelle McCool in worse shape than she has ever been in her career. What was even better, a gang of WWE divas were in the locker room staring in awe as if they were all disturbed. Kharma in less than three minutes put the entire diva locker room on notice
Kane and Big Show defeating the Corre, being represented by Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson was no surprise. The fact that this was a lumberjack match was stupid. I understand that this was a filler match, just to give you a chance to catch your breath, but a lumber jack match?
John Cena vs John Morrison vs The Miz ended up being better than I thought. This is the fourth time this year that the Miz has been asked to live up to great matches that came before him. At the Royal Rumble it was the Ziggler-Edge match, Elimination Chamber, the Smackdown Chamber match, and WrestleMania it was The Undertaker-Triple H match. The Miz is one of my favorite superstars, therefore it was a big shock to me to see him lose the title. I really liked R-Truth coming out and interfering in this match. I think he and Morrison can put on some great matches. Perhaps they will be bouts for the number one contender?
Christian and Alberto Del Rios match in my opinion should have been the main event going in. The belt was vacated for goodness sakes. These two put all they had into this one. Del Rio really made up for his cold feet at WrestleMania. I thought the Step Ladder was really funny. When Del Rio was at the top of the ladder, I just knew he was going become champion, but the big surprise was seeing Edge come out in a Jeep, of all vehicles, and blow the horn to distract Del Rio which gave Christian time to rise above the occasion, knock Del Rio off and climb up to the top of the ladder, much as he did before, but unlike the rest, this time he would become for the first time in his career, World Heavyweight Champion. Seeing Edge out there and congratulating Christian on his big moment was like none other. I cannot wait to see how this will elevate Christian and his career in the WWE.
