Hell In A Cell was live last night from Dallas, Texas. Two big main event matches inside the cell, as John Cena faced Randy Orton in one and Dean Ambrose faced Seth Rollins in the other. The WWE Intercontinental Championship, WWE World Tag Team Championship and WWE Divas Championship were also all on the line. Sadly, no WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match, as I'm sure Brock Lesnar was very busy at home, watching football and collecting his big part time worker paycheck. If you missed last night's show on WWE Network for only $9.99, then you came to the right place as I'm about to recap the card for you.
- The Hell In A Cell pregame show kicked off with MizdowTV.....yes you read that right, MizdowTV. The Miz's stunt double, Damien Sandow, hosted his own version of MizTV. The Miz is letting Sandow host the show out of the kindness of his heart. Sandow introduces The Miz as his guest. Miz talked about how he'll defeat Sheamus tonight and take home the United States Championship. Sandow says Miz is his inspiration, talks about all of Miz's accomplishments and considers Miz his best friend. Miz says Sandow is a damn good stunt double and he's proud to call Sandow his friend. Miz and Sandow share a manly hug as Sheamus appears on the titantron. Sheamus says Sandow should get on his knees and kiss Miz's ass goodbye and if this was a movie then he's going to give away the ending. Sheamus "brogue kicks" the camera.
- Mark Henry vs. Bo Dallas: Henry squashes Dallas with an avalanche in the corner and puts Dallas down with the "World's Strongest Slam" for the pinfall. Dallas throws a verbal temper tantrum after the match. Henry tosses Dallas into the ring barrier to shut him up.
