Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are the only ones expected to face off inside the namesake structure as they meet for the third straight PPV event. Plus, the Raw ...
Happy Corbin (No Holds Barred): Moss returned to SmackDown on the brand's final show before Hell in a Cell. Having recovered from a brutal attack by Corbin, Moss gained retribution on his former teammate with help from a steel chair. Mustafa Ali: Ali has been desperately trying to get Theory in the ring for a title match, with Theory constantly evading and using his power as Vince McMahon's protege to put Ali at a disadvantage. Lynch won the rematch, making the Hell in a Cell match a triple threat. Omos & MVP: Like Rhodes and Rollins, Lashley and Omos wrestled at both WrestleMania and WrestleMania Backlash. They also met in a cage match on Raw, which Lashley won when Omos threw him into the cage, causing it to break and allowing Lashley to be the first man to get both feet on the floor. The other big match features two of the biggest superstars on the roster battling it out when Bobby Lashley faces Omos and MVP in a handicap match. Plus, the Raw women's title is on the line when champion Bianca Belair battles both Asuka and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match.
Welcome to Bleacher Report's coverage and recap of WWE Hell in a Cell 2022. The HIAC stipulation was set to be used just once on Sunday's show, ...
- At one point, Asuka hit a series of strikes and a German suplex on Lynch that looked incredible. Having only one match in the cell feels like a bit of a waste when that is the name of the event. It was already lowered around the ring during the pre-show, so it would have been perfect. It's hard to even find anything to be critical about with this one because it felt like everything worked exactly as it was supposed to. The most impressive part of this performance was how well-balanced it was. The first few minutes saw Belair had individual sequences with both opponents before we got to see all three women fighting at once.
WWE Hell in a Cell featured a Cody Rhodes-Seth Rollins Hell in a Cell match, Bianca Belair vs. Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Title and more!
Cody got his hands on the sledgehammer, Rollins avoided Cody and back into the ring with Rollins hitting The Stomp for a two count. Cody with a kick to the leg, then he tripped up Rollins with the bullrope and Cody hit a superkick. Cody got a hold of the sledgehammer and hit Cody in the head with it! Rollins set up the ladder in the corner of the ring, Cody blocked a Powerbomb attempt and Cody hit the Cross Rhodes for a two count. Cody hit Rollins with the cowbell in the head for a two count. Corbin hit Moss with a chair shot to the ribs and a chair shot to the back. Rollins got his hands on the steel steps, Cody left the ring and Rollins hit Cody on the right arm with the steel steps. Theory with a necksnap against the top rope, Ali came back with a kick and a tilt-a-whirl into a DDT. That was great. Balor with a running dropkick to the knee, then a kick to the leg and Balor wrenched the leg against the ropes. Corbin went over the barricade into the crowd, Moss followed and Corbin hit a clothesline over the barricade. Priest tossed Balor out of the ring, Edge tagged in and Edge hit Balor with a running forearm to the face. Styles with a forearm to Edge, then Styles up top and he hit a Phenomenal Forearm on Edge for one…two…but Priest pulled Styles out of the ring to break up the pin.
It had to be too, since this was close to a one-match show. Bianca Belair retained her Raw Women's Championship in the opening bout, defeating Asuka and Becky ...
Lynch then hit a Manhandle Slam on Asuka, but Belair came back in and chucked Lynch out of the ring before pinning Asuka for the win. As they battled, Lynch managed to plant Belair with a Manhandle Slam, but Asuka interrupted the pin for a great false finish. As Omos was preparing to give Lashley a double-arm Chokeslam, Cedric Alexander, who's had tension with MVP and Omos, jumped in the ring from the top rope. The finishing sequence began when Lashley was in the ring with MVP. Lashley knocked Omos off the ring apron, then speared MVP. Lashley went for a pin, but Omos broke it up. Edge tried another Spear on Balor, but Balor countered it into an Inside Crade (which was sick). Balor landed a Slingblade on Edge and attempted another Coup de Grace, but Ripley stood in front of Edge, which prevented Balor from the move since the men can't touch the women in the match. From there it was an extended heat session, with the Judgement Day beating down Liv Morgan and then Finn Balor as the good guys built to a comeback. Rollins then kicked Rhodes in the gut and attempted a Pedigree, but Rhodes slipped out and landed a Pedigree of his own for another nearfall. It was largely built around a steel chair, which Corbin and Moss whaled on each other with, but didn't give the crowd what they were chanting for the whole match -- tables. Rollins hit Rhodes with a Superkick and then Powerbombed Rhodes through the table for a two count. Rhodes then brought out a cowbell, a weapon synonymous with his dad Dusty. The cowbell is in the middle of a long rope, with handles on either side for each person to strap around their wrist. Rollins attempted a Frog Splash through the table, but Cody rolled off and Rollins crashed through alone. Between the opener and the closer, though, was a lot of fluff.

Seth Rollins cosplayed as Dusty Rhodes in a hilarious moment. Hopefully he wasn’t giving these spots away so early into his return because he expects to be out for a while. WWE Hell in a Cell 2022 from Chicago, Ill. advertised a Hell in a Cell match between an injured Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in Part 3 of their current feud. They even chanted “thank you Rollins.” As predicted earlier, it was indeed Rollins who went through the table. Fans quickly broke into a “we want tables” chant. Lashley later absconded a replica WWE Championship and celebrated with it. Bobby Lashley teased he was going for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship while posing on the turnbuckle. Tonight’s Hell in a Cell broadcast faced stiff competition from Game 2 of the NBA Finals. “I never ask why, I just wait for the rough part to end. At one point, MVP said “even though your name is Bobby I got brains like Heenan.” WWE may also be without Cody Rhodes moving forward, who suffered a partially torn pectoral muscle. Rhodes defeated Rollins in their previous two pay-per-view matches.
Rhodes showed a gruesome injury before the match begun, which led to an immediate hush among the crowd in the Allstate Arena in Chicago. Rhodes went on to gut ...
“The presumption everyone had was he’s working Hell in a Cell tonight and from there we’ll see. Top AEW star Bryan Danielson, whom Punk mentioned in his emotional promo, reportedly suffered an injury. AEW must crown an interim AEW world heavyweight champion in the process. The gimmick initially helped boost Raw viewership before numbers settled back to normal against stiff competition from the NHL playoffs. WWE’s Kayla Braxton reported Rhodes had torn his pec “completely off the bone,” though was still expected to compete. I don’t know that 100 percent [if] that is the injury.
Rhodes and Rollins worked a legitimate injury into a remarkable display of pro-wrestling toughness.
Rhodes kicked a sledgehammer out of Rollins' hands, landed two consecutive Cross Rhodes and domed him with the sledgehammer to win the match. Rhodes and Rollins had a hall pass to take things easy with the severity of Rhodes' injury. A throwback to stipulations in the era of Dusty, Rhodes and Rollins abused each other with the rope and cowbell while both were tied in. The polka dots and bull rope were a welcomed addition to the match. Rollins landed the Cross Rhodes on the fan-favorite only for Rhodes to return fire with the same move.

Rhodes and Rollins closed out Hell in a Cell with a banger, but credit also goes to the three women who opened the program. Balor countered Edge's spear and had him laid out for a fight-ending Coup de Gras. Ripley stood in between Balor and Edge long enough for her Judgement Day leader to crush Balor with a spear for the victory.

Rollins and Rhodes were clearly keen to stick to their plans for the match at all costs, though. That's why I was hoping that he'd get a win here to showcase him a bit, plus give Theory something to do (find a way back into Vince McMahon's favor after letting him down by losing the match). Bless this Chicago crowd for getting really into some of these matches that just don't have the umph to make most people care. I love that this faction has given Rhea and Damian Priest something to do that's different and keeps them in the spotlight week after week. My favorite part of this match was when Liv Morgan and Rhea got to mix it up because, honestly, they're both incredibly talented and showed it. This was surprisingly a lot of fun and well done. A six-man (six-person?) tag match has the potential to break down into a chaotic mess, at any point of time. Anyway, this is a lot like the match the two had last month, except MVP was there to take the loss this time out. I also wish Morgan/Balor/Styles would come up with a name for their group: The Fabulous Threebirds, Fullofit Club, The Happy Campers. The name choices are endless. If you want to watch a replay of Hell in a Cell, you'll need the streaming service Peacock. While the streaming service does have a free tier, you will not be able to watch the WWE event through that. Sure, I laughed a bunch when Owens was screaming "Elias" in Ezekiel's face, but this was a weird match. Also, Kevin Owens took on Ezekiel in order to prove that Ezekiel is actually Elias, but in the end, did it really prove anything at all?
Cody Rhodes is supposed to face Seth Rollins inside Hell in a Cell at tonight's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view at the Allstate Arena outside of Chicago.
Bring it on; I want it all." That's the only way I can stay the best in the world. "I think I'm the best wrestler in the world," he continued. "We haven't crossed paths in the ring. Everything that I heard was that he was working tonight. He wound up getting replaced by Drew McIntyre, but was still at the arena and chased Rollins off after the match.
Here are the winners and losers of the WWE PPV as it happens on Peacock.

The show also saw Bianca Belair battle Asuka and Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship.
Theory is said to be WWE’s standout star for the future, and it’s not hard to see why. Calling back to Corbin’s own attack on him, Moss trapped his foe in a chair and threw steps on to it for good measure to ensure there was a decisive end to their no holds barred match. Styles was forced to sit out a latter portion of the match suffering heavy bleeding from an injury, with Edge spearing Balor for the win. Asuka has been a major miss for the company for much of the last year, while Belair is so effortlessly smooth. The Canadian ended victorious thanks to a Stunner. There would be no fairytale to Ali’s night however - after battering his opponent’s injured knee, Theory hit an A-Town-Down to retain his gold. The Visionary, ever the troll, came to the ring resplendent in the polka dots made famous in WWE by his opponent’s father, the late Dusty Rhodes. The affair even temporarily became a bullrope match as the homage continued. A sense of anticipation built in the arena as Rhodes made his entrance, a gasp audible as he took off his jacket to reveal the very obvious injury which he’s said to have suffered whilst weight training. In fairness, Owens’ pure fury at the ludicrousness of it all has at least always been at the heart of their feud, which probably enables the light relief to continue for longer than it might. Somewhat peversley, the two seemed to revel in being able to build their match around it - as you would in natural combat of course. The loss of Rhodes will be keenly felt. At the climax, Rhodes turned the tables by channelling Rollins’ mentor Triple H, delivering a sledgehammer shot and a Pedigree on his way to victory - secured in the end by a Cross Rhodes.
WWE's Hell in a Cell takes place tonight inside Chicago's Allstate Arena and the show's match order has made its way online via Fightful Select.
Asuka vs. - Raw Women's Championship: Bianca Belair vs. WWE will continue its pay-per-view schedule next month with the Money in the Bank premium live event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on July 2.

- the minute-to-minute wrestling was thrilling, no matter that it didn't move the needle much story-wise. For a show lacking so many marquee superstars, you barely felt that absence thanks to the committed performances from the working roster and shocking lack of frustrating finishes - the latter basically a miracle for a WWE show at this point. Even as gimmick-themed events continue to be a bit of an oddity in WWE - only one Hell in a Cell match on the card, really?
Cody isn't human, Belair shines once again, Owens owns Ezekiel, Ali is hometown chump.
Thus, Hell in a Cell has to be termed a qualified success. And yet, little effort was put into building up HIAC as anything more than a B-show. WWE Unified World Champion (or whatever he’s called) Roman Reigns hasn’t defended his title since WrestleMania 38. They delivered a red-hot opener and white hot main event that made you feel.
Here's where Vince McMahon goes next. 10. Baron Corbin Getting Repackaged. Cody Rhodes Drew McIntyre WWE Money In The Bank WWE.com.
Losing that 'No Holds Barred' brawl to Madcap Moss at HIAC should spell the end for this current version of Corbin. Characters are about to get the repackage treatment, new title contenders will emerge, heel turns could rock the women's scene, and old factions may become new again before too long. Some may argue that this was unnecessary, but Cody's entire story since returning has been built around a never-say-die attitude and willingness to go the extra mile as tribute to his father's legacy.

Lynch then hit a Manhandle Slam on Asuka, but Belair came back in and chucked Lynch out of the ring before pinning Asuka for the win. As they battled, Lynch managed to plant Belair with a Manhandle Slam, but Asuka interrupted the pin for a great false finish. The match went up a gear when Asuka and Lynch were in the ring. One of Lynch's rollups got countered into an Asuka Lock, which the crowd initially bought as a possible finish. As Omos was preparing to give Lashley a double-arm Chokeslam, Cedric Alexander, who's had tension with MVP and Omos, jumped in the ring from the top rope. But it played into the following sequence: After they sent Asuka out of the ring, both Belair and Lynch were hopping around on one leg each, selling their respective ankles. The finishing sequence began when Lashley was in the ring with MVP. Lashley knocked Omos off the ring apron, then speared MVP. Lashley went for a pin, but Omos broke it up. Lashley then put MVP in the Hurt Lock for the win. None of it was remarkable in any way, except for one fun spot where Omos shoulder charged Lashley through the barricade on the outside. Omos beat Lashley down, then tagged MVP in for a quick bit of offense. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins have wrestled two classics since Cody's return at WrestleMania. On Sunday they shoot for three as they clash in the main event of WWE Hell in a Cell 2022. Owens was fanatical, yelling at every chance "It's ELIAS!", and in general making a spectacle of himself.
Will the EST retain? Can the American Nightmare three-peat inside Hell in a Cell? Here's the current announced plan for the premium live event.
- Bianca Belair (c) vs. Elsewhere on the card, Ezekiel (not Elias) faces Kevin Owens in a match that should, at the least, be humorous. ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) can access more than 3,000 servers spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. Who knows how soon the WWE content will filter over. You might want to check out a VPN if you can't watch with the service you normally use. Peacock is now available on most of the best streaming devices. That includes shows like 30 Rock, The Voice, Battlestar Galactica, Law & Order: SVU and This Is Us. That said, don't expect this to last forever. Rhodes won the last two, and this time he's facing Rollins in the titular stipulation match. Bianca Belair is defending her title against both Becky Lynch and Asuka in a Triple Threat match. Still this show kinda feel like another afterthought PPV. Roman Reigns isn't defending either of his championships, and neither are The Usos (though they just beat Riddle and Nakamura on SmackDown). Cody Rhodes has been reported (by Dave Meltzer) to have a torn pec injury from weight training.
