WWE Hell in a Cell
Aired On: October 3, 2010
Report by: Jason Powell & ProWrestling.net
Aired live on pay-per-view
Dallas, Tex. at American Airlines Arena
The show opened with a video package. The narrator spoke as if he was the Hell in a Cell structure…
Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Matt Striker introduced the show from ringside…
1. Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz vs. John Morrison in a Triple Threat, submissions count anywhere match for the United States Championship.
The Miz entered last and was referred to as the Kenny Powers of WWE by one of the announcers. Nice. Thanks for the DVR reminder, guys.
Miz said he was the mentor of Bryan and Morrison. He stressed that he never tapped out. Morrison sold at ringside early, which gave Bryan and Miz some alone time. Bryan applied Cattle Mutilation at one point. Striker told the other announcers to “look it up.”
At 7:00, all three men brawled in the crowd. Miz got the better of the situation by dropping Morrison on the guardrail, and then ramming Bryan through a guardrail of some type. They fought near the stage, where Miz tried to ram a crate into Morrison, but Morrison blocked it with his foot and then leapt over it and took a shot at Miz.
Miz came right back with with a Skull Crushing Finale on Morrison on the floor. Miz and Bryan fought on the stage. They both went for submissions and countered and hit a double clothesline. Morrison climbed the set. Cole said he looked like Spiderman. Morrison climbed onto a lighting right that was on top of fencing and dove onto both opponents on the stage.
At 12:40, Morrison applied a Texas Cloverleaf on Miz. Alex Riley ran out to break up the hold. Bryan ran Riley into a camera and apparently off the stage. Bryan applied the LeBell Lock at 13:25 on the stage. Miz tapped out moments later and the crowd popped. “Okay, I admit it, Daniel Bryan is for real,” Cole said after the match. He later told the other announcers that he needed to go check on Miz…
Winner: Still United States Champion Daniel Bryan
An ad aired for “Legendary”… Cole was still fretting over Miz’s health as the announcers set up the Randy Orton vs. Sheamus video package, which was then shown…
2. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus in a Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship
Cole said this would be the twentieth Hell in a Cell match in history. The live crowd was hot for Orton’s entrance and broke out an “RKO” chant after the in-ring introductions.
Sheamus and Orton fought on the ropes. Sheamus got the better of the exchange and rammed Orton into the cage. He took control of the match and removed a pad from the turnbuckle. He failed to slam Orton’s head into the exposed turnbuckle, so it will probably come into play later.
Orton regained control. He looked up at the exposed turnbuckle from his knees and then moved aside when Sheamus charged at him. Sheamus hit the exposed turnbuckle, but it didn’t play an important part in the match (yet). The announcers spent most of the match putting over Orton, but they did give Sheamus the edge in power.
The ring steps that came into play earlier in the match were brought inside the ring. Sheamus dropped Orton onto the steps at ringside earlier, and Orton sold a rib injury. However, Orton hit a snap slam onto the steps in the middle of the ring in a cool spot. He went back to selling the ribs a short time later.
Orton also sold a shoulder injury and the announcers pointed out his past problems. Sheamus set up Orton for an apparent Rock Bottom on the ring steps in the middle of the ring. However, he hit a backbreaker instead, so the ring steps never even came into play on that move.
Sheamus followed up with the Brough Kick for a quality near fall at 18:40. Sheamus went to ringside and pulled a chair out from underneath the ring. Sheamus slammed the chair over Orton’s back a few times and got another near fall.
