WWE Hell In A Cell PPV Results (09/16): San Antonio, Texas

Kickoff Show:
The 2018 Hell In A Cell Kickoff Show opens up live from The AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The Kickoff Show begins with our new host Jonathan Coachman welcoming us to the show and introducing his panel, today consisting of SmackDown General Manager Paige, WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T, and Peter Rosenberg. They run the card down in short for a bit of hype before moving on to a video package and in-depth discussion for Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair. Next up on the docket is The Mixed Tag Team Match between Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella on one hand and The Miz & Maryse on the other.
We go backstage for an interview with Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins ahead of their Tag Title Match. Dean says that nothing changes tonight, and Drew and Dolph will just realize what everyone knows, and Seth brings up the idea that The Shield might end the night with all of The RAW men’s gold, but they are workhorses and this is just another chance to prove it.

Video package and panel discussion for Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton follows, and Paige announces that that match will kick The Main Show off. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe is next up for the standard treatment. Alexa Bliss vs. Ronda Rousey follows, and Bliss joins the panel by satellite from backstage. She vows to take the title back and even her fans don’t think she has a chance, but Ronda’s not at 100% tonight.
Alexa question’s Paige’s right to ask a question because she’s not RAW talent, but says that all the headlines will read “Ronda Rousey fails” tonight. She bails before David Otunga (who replaced Booker T at some point) can actually ask his question, and panel discussion follows. Next on the docket is Triple H vs. The Undertaker in Australia. We head to ringside for the first match of the night and it is for The SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
Tom Phillips welcomes us to ringside as fans continue to find their seats in the arena. He is joined by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton.
The New Day make their way down to the ring and get on the mic. Xavier Woods says that the kids are back in school, Big E talks about how the leaves start to fall, and Kofi Kingston says that he doesn’t care how basic you think it is, but it’s pumpkin spice latte season, baby! And that means your boys The New Day are once again, for the fourth time in a row, defending their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles. But not against any old team, oh no, tonight they defend against Rusev Day, and in honor of their illustrious opponents, they wrote a song to sing.

Aiden English interrupts and makes his entrance. He and The New Day have a throat-clearing contest, and then English sings his intro, and introduces his partner, Rusev. Out he comes with Lana as Greg Hamilton does the introductions. English is cut off when he asks rhetorically mid-song who will be champs when all is said and done.

We go right to the ring for the first match of the main show and it is Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell Match.
Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton (Hell In A Cell Match): The opening bell sounds and Jeff starts this one off fired up. The fight spills out to ringside where Orton makes a brief comeback. Orton goes to put a table in the ring, but Jeff does a baseball slide kick that knocks it into his face. Jeff hits a version of the Poetry In Motion on Orton up against the cage, and then he takes this back in the ring. Jeff hits the Hardyac Arrest in the corner, and then he goes up top to look for the Swanton Bomb. Orton gets up first and knocks Hardy down. They fight back out to ringside, where Hardy looks for a suplex onto a ladder, but Orton reverses and suplexes Hardy on to the ladder. They get back in the ring, where Orton repeatedly bashes Jeff Hardy with a steel chair while he’s down. The crowd tries to rally behind Hardy as Orton keeps him down. Orton takes a ladder in the ring and he lays Jeff in between the two legs of the ladder and stomps on him. Hardy finally fights back and drops Orton, then hits the double leg drop and a running dropkick. They run the ropes and Orton comes back with a spinning powerslam. Orton goes out to ringside to grab more weapons. Orton passes on the steel chair, and instead grabs a tool box from under the ring. Orton grabs a screwdriver and then gets back in the ring. Orton sticks his finger through Jeff’s pierced ear then he shoves the screwdriver into the ear hole and twists Jeff’s ear around. Orton twists his ear around, a lot, as the crowd groans in disgust.

Jeff goes up top for a Swanton, but Orton knocks him down once again and then hits the draping DDT from the middle rope. Orton’s back is bleeding lightly in several places now. Orton waits and lets Hardy get to his feet and he looks for the RKO, but Jeff escapes it and hits the Twist of Fate. Jeff immediately grabs a steel chair and puts it on top of Orton. Jeff goes up top and hits a Swanton Bomb on Orton with the steel chair on him, but Orton kicks out at 2. Jeff pummels on Orton and then arranges more weapons in the ring. Hardy puts two ladders side by side, a bigger one and a smaller one, and he lays Orton across the table. Orton appears to be bleeding from his leg now as well. Jeff climbs up and hangs from the top of the Cell by his hands, and he hangs from it like Monkey Bars. Jeff goes to drop down from the top through Orton, but Orton rolls out of the way and Jeff crashes through the table by himself. The referee calls for medics and wants the Cell door open, and he refuses to count for Orton pinning him. The referee finally gets down and counts the pin, and Orton scores the three count.

Paige then says that the referee’s decision is final, but he’ll get his rematch in Australia in three weeks. Joe then says that that is ridiculous and he should be champion right now, but if she doesn’t change the rules of the battlefield, he won’t be responsible, and he wants no disqualification, no count out, and there must be a winner. Paige agrees and says that there has to be a winner, and Joe says don’t worry there will be. Samoa Joe walks off.
