WWE reportedly axing Hell in a Cell premium live event

The Hell in a Cell premium live event concept is reportedly "completely dead" under WWE's new regime and 's reign as Head of Creative. The match concept first started in 1997, with the classic cage match between and The Undertaker at In Your House: Badd Blood. The pay-per-view surrounding the stipulation, however, kicked off in 2009. While the yearly show has given us many memorable Cell matches (like this year's Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes), the show has also witnessed some of the worst matches in the stipulation's history. The show has also resulted in the effect that the match type has on a feud. has told GiveMeSport that WWE's Hell in a Cell premium live event concept is now "completely dead". "The show itself, I think is completely dead. That match, from what I understand means a lot to Hunter, just think of the classics that he's had in there. Roman Reigns & Jey so they've been feuding for six weeks, they got to be there now because the calendar says so... That's not going to happen anymore."
