The 2009 Hell in a Cell was the inaugural Hell in a Cell professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brand divisions. The event took place on October 4, 2009, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It replaced the previously annual October PPV, No Mercy. This was the only Hell in a Cell event to feature the ECW brand, as it was disbanded in February 2010.
There were eight matches scheduled on the event's card, as well as one dark match that occurred before the live broadcast. The event featured what was known as a supercard, which featured more than one main event match. The concept of the event was that each of these main event matches would be contested as Hell in a Cell matches. The main events included D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) defeating The Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase), Randy Orton defeating John Cena to win the WWE Championship, and The Undertaker defeating CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Other matches featured on the event were John Morrison defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler, Mickie James versus Alicia Fox for the WWE Divas Championship, Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho and Big Show versus Batista and Rey Mysterio, Drew McIntyre facing R-Truth, and a triple threat match for the WWE United States Championship among Kofi Kingston, The Miz, and Jack Swagger. This event would also be the final time Jim Ross called as part of WWE's commentary team full-time for a pay-per-view event and began part-time commentary onwards. The pay-per-view drew 283,000 buys, up from the 261,000 buys No Mercy 2008 received.

In early 2009, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) ran a poll on their official website in which fans could vote on the name of that year's October pay-per-view (PPV), which would replace the previously annual October PPV, No Mercy. Hell in a Cell was chosen over No Escape, Locked Up, and Rage in a Cage.{{cite web|url=https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_33127.shtml|title=WWE News: WWE changes the names of two more PPVs; Report on WWE fan input leading to changes|first=James|last=Caldwell|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|date=June 27, 2009|access-date=August 3, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090630052934/https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_33127.shtml|archive-date=June 30, 2009|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-news/8234-wwe-seeking-feedback-on-ppvs/|title=WWE seeking feedback on PPVs|first=Adam|last=Martin|work=WrestleView|access-date=August 3, 2009|date=June 19, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090623072322/https://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1245448682.php|archive-date=June 23, 2009|url-status=live}} The concept of the event came from WWE's established Hell in a Cell match, in which competitors fight inside a 20-foot-high roofed cell structure surrounding the ring and ringside area and the main event match would be contested under the Hell in a Cell stipulation.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/inside/specialtymatches/hellinacell|title=Specialty Matches: Hell in a Cell|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|access-date=August 3, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050623014252/https://www.wwe.com/inside/specialtymatches/hellinacell|archive-date=June 23, 2005|url-status=live}} The 2009 Hell in a Cell PPV was scheduled to be held on October 4, 2009, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

The event included matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands,{{cite web|title=How Pro Wrestling Works|url=https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm|last=Grabianowski|first=Ed|work=HowStuffWorks|date=January 13, 2006|publisher=Discovery Communications|access-date=March 5, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131129050844/https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm|archive-date=November 29, 2013}}{{cite web|title=Live & Televised Entertainment|url=https://corporate.wwe.com/company/events.jsp|work=WWE|access-date=March 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218142749/https://corporate.wwe.com/company/events.jsp|archive-date=February 18, 2009}} while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Raw, SmackDown, and ECW.{{cite web|url=https://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_05_25_02.jsp|title=WWE Launches ECW As Third Brand|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|access-date=June 1, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081223101434/https://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_05_25_02.jsp|archive-date=December 23, 2008}}
The main rivalry from the Raw brand was between D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) and The Legacy (Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes). Triple H and Shawn Michaels reformed their tag team unit D-Generation X at SummerSlam in a winning effort against Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes (collectively known as The Legacy).{{cite web|last=Canton|first=John|title=WWE SummerSlam 2009 Review|url=https://tjrwrestling.net/review/wwe-summerslam-2009-review/|date=August 18, 2022|work=TJR Wrestling|access-date=June 19, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220922170300/https://tjrwrestling.net/review/wwe-summerslam-2009-review/|archive-date=September 22, 2022|url-status=live}} Their confrontations continued in the coming weeks before leading to a Falls Count Anywhere match that can only be won by submission at Breaking Point, which saw The Legacy get the victory.{{cite web|last=Caldwell|first=James|title=Caldwell's WWE Breaking Point PPV report 9/13: Ongoing "virtual time" coverage of Cena vs. Orton, Hardy vs. Taker, DX vs. Legacy|url=https://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PPV_Reports_5/article_35277.shtml|date=September 13, 2009|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|access-date=April 8, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090916181015/https://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PPV_Reports_5/article_35277.shtml|archive-date=September 16, 2009|url-status=live}} After one last major brawl between both teams the following night on Raw, it was announced later that night they would face one more time at the event in a Hell in a Cell match of their own.
The main rivalry from the SmackDown brand was between the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and The Undertaker. At Breaking Point, the two faced off in a submission match. Despite Undertaker successfully forcing Punk to submit with his Hell's Gate submission hold, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long declared that the hold had been banned "a long time ago" by Vickie Guerrero and restarted the match. Reminiscent of the Montreal Screwjob, Punk later locked in his Anaconda vise hold and despite Undertaker never submitting, Punk was declared the winner when referee Scott Armstrong called for the bell to be rang. On the September 18 episode of SmackDown, Undertaker kidnapped Long inside his limousine.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/09182009/|title=Consumed in controversy|date=September 18, 2009|last=Burdick|first=Michael|access-date=September 25, 2009|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091001113746/https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/09182009/|archive-date=October 1, 2009}} Released from a casket a week later, a startled Long announced a reversal on the Hell's Gate ban and that a rematch between the two would take place at the event in a Hell in a Cell match.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/results/|title=To hell and back|date=September 25, 2009|last=Passero|first=Mitch|access-date=September 26, 2009|work=World Wrestling Entertainment}}

Another rivalry from the Raw brand was between John Cena and Randy Orton over their vying for the WWE Championship; at SummerSlam, Orton had retained the title in a controversial fashion that saw him intentionally get disqualified before ultimately retaining the title; WWE owner, Vince McMahon, announced a rematch at Breaking Point; an "I Quit" match{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/08242009/|title=Three of a kind?|last=Adkins|first=Greg|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=August 24, 2009|access-date=September 21, 2009}} which was won by Cena. The following night on Raw, Orton received a rematch for the title from the night's guest matchmaker Trish Stratus at Hell in a Cell in the eponymous match.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/09142009/|title=Skinning the snake|last=Adkins|first=Greg|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=September 14, 2009|access-date=September 25, 2009}} On the final Raw, Cena competed in a gauntlet match against Chris Jericho, Big Show, and Orton. After Cena defeated Jericho and Show by disqualification, Orton came out as the last opponent. However, the cell began to lower as Cena tried to stop Orton from escaping. Orton almost managed to get free but was too late, becoming trapped inside the cell with Cena. As Orton attempted to get away, Cena blocked the door and the two brawled. Orton managed to get out and began climbing to the top of the cell as Cena chased after him. With nowhere left to run, Cena attacked Orton with an Attitude Adjustment on top of the cell to close the show.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/09282009/|title=Hell bound|date=September 28, 2009|last=Adkins|first=Greg|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|access-date=April 8, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091011110344/https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/09282009/|archive-date=October 11, 2009}}
On the final SmackDown before Hell in a Cell, DX, Undertaker, and Cena teamed up to face Legacy, Orton, and Punk in an eight-man tag team match. Undertaker won the match for his team after executing a Tombstone Piledriver on Orton.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/10022009/|title=SmackDown celebrates a decade|date=October 2, 2009|last=Passero|first=Mitch|work=World Wrestling Entertainment|access-date=April 8, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091014132842/https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/10022009/|archive-date=October 14, 2009}}

Batista made his return to the company following a torn biceps brachii muscle and joined SmackDown, where he came into immediate conflict with Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho and The Big Show. After several confrontations with the team, Batista announced his contention for the titles at Hell in a Cell with partner Rey Mysterio.

=Dark match=
Before the event went live on pay-per-view, Matt Hardy defeated Mike Knox in a dark match.
=Preliminary matches=
The first match was a Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk focused on The Undertaker's leg in the early going. Punk hit The Undertaker with a steel chair to score a nearfall. After Punk performed a step-up high knee in the corner, The Undertaker executed a Last Ride to score a near-fall. Punk then attempted to hit The Undertaker with the chair again but The Undertaker countered with a big boot. The Undertaker executed a chokeslam followed by a Tombstone Piledriver to win the title.
The next match featured John Morrison defending the Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler. Control of the match shifted between both superstars. Morrison missed the Starship Pain in the early part of the match, after which Ziggler dominated until Morrison countered a powerslam attempt into a DDT. Morrison then missed a Flying Chuck, after which Ziggler executed a German suplex. Ziggler attempted to delivered a Zig-Zag, but Morrison held onto the ropes and delivered Starship Pain to retain the title.
Next was the Divas Championship match between defending champion Mickie James and Alicia Fox. James dominated most of the match before countering a bridge attempt by Fox into a Mickie-DDT to score the pinfall and retain the title.
The next match featured Jeri-Show (Chris Jericho and Big Show) taking on Batista and Rey Mysterio for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. The challengers dominated the early part of the match, isolating Jericho from his partner. Batista executed a spinebuster on Jericho to score a near-fall, after which Jericho executed a Codebreaker on Batista to score a near-fall. Big Show then performed a chokeslam on Batista but Mysterio broke the pinfall. Batista speared both Jericho and Big Show on the outside. Mysterio then executed a 619 on Big Show but was struck with a Knockout Punch while attempting a West Coast Pop. Big Show then pinned Mysterio to retain the titles.
=Main event matches=
The first main event match was a Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship between champion John Cena and Randy Orton. Both competitors had control at different points of the match. Cena used the cell to his advantage when he slammed Orton twice into the cell wall. When Cena attempted to slam Orton a third time, the challenger pushed him into the wall instead. Orton then attempted to drive Cena onto the steel steps but Cena bodyslammed the challenger to the outside. Orton then executed his middle-rope DDT for a near-fall. Cena followed with an Attitude Adjustment but Orton kicked out. Orton hit Cena on the neck with a steel chair, followed by a pin attempt which Cena kicked out. Cena applied the STF to Orton but Orton managed to get to the ropes. When Cena attempted another STF, Orton pushed him off, knocking the referee down in the process. Cena applied another STF and Orton tapped out, but the referee was unconscious at the time. After Cena checked on the referee, Orton executed an RKO but Cena kicked out. Orton then delivered a punt kick to win the title.
The next match featured R-Truth against Drew McIntyre. R-Truth executed a dropkick and leg lariat in the early going before McIntyre executed a big boot and a clothesline. McIntyre attempted twice to executed the Future Shock but R-Truth countered each one until McIntyre threw him from the top rope. McIntyre followed with the Future Shock to score the pinfall.
Next was a triple threat match for the United States Championship between champion Kofi Kingston, The Miz, and Jack Swagger. The Miz and Swagger worked together to deliver a double clothesline and double Irish whip to Kingston. The Miz, however, attacked Swagger and executed his signature moves. Swagger hoisted The Miz on his shoulders for an electric chair and Kingston executed a crossbody on The Miz at the same time. Swagger delivered a belly-to-belly suplex on Kingston and covered him, but The Miz broke the pin. Kingston afterwards performed a Boom Drop on Swagger but The Miz broke up that pin too. Swagger attempted a German suplex on Miz but Kingston hit him with the Trouble in Paradise. The Miz then delivered a Skull-Crushing Finale to Kingston, but Swagger put Kingston's foot on the rope. Swagger executed a gutwrench powerbomb on The Miz, after which, Kingston executed another Trouble in Paradise on Swagger. Kingston then pinned The Miz to retain his title.
The final match was a Hell in a Cell tag team match between D-Generation-X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) and The Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase). Rhodes and DiBiase attacked DX during their entrance which led to a brawl outside the cage before the match even started. Rhodes delivered a Cross Rhodes on the entrance ramp to Triple H. Legacy then put Michaels inside the cage and locked the door with Triple H outside. Rhodes and DiBiase focused on Michaels' knee, performing knee breakers and ramming it into the steel post. Michaels fought back, delivering an atomic drop, chops and Sweet Chin Music to DiBiase. However, Legacy continued to dominate Michaels as Triple H tried to break the lock with a chair. Triple H then left, seemingly abandoning Michaels, but returned with pliers and opened the door, attacking Rhodes and DiBiase. Triple H then punched DiBiase using a chain and delivered a Pedigree on him, then left him outside the cage and locked the door. Triple H and Michaels finished Rhodes off with a sledgehammer/Sweet Chin Music combination to win the match. After the match, DiBiase entered the ring but was struck with a Sweet Chin Music, thus ending the show as DX celebrated their victory.
Aftermath
On the following episode of Raw, John Cena challenged Randy Orton to one final rematch for the WWE Championship at Bragging Rights, this time as a 60-minute Iron Man match. Orton accepted on two conditions: if Cena lost, he would leave Raw and that the match would be anything goes.{{cite news|last=Nemer|first=Paul|title=Raw Results – 10/5/09|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/4987-raw-results-10-5-09/|access-date=May 9, 2023|work=WrestleView|date=October 5, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091009220848/https://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1254798846.php?style=dark|archive-date=October 9, 2009|url-status=live}}
