Hell in a Cell was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced annually in October by WWE since 2009. The concept of the event came from WWE's established Hell in a Cell match, in which competitors fought inside a 20-foot-high roofed cell structure surrounding the ring and ringside area. The main event match of the card was contested under the Hell in a Cell stipulation.{{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.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}}{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1245448682.php|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 2014 event was the sixth Hell in a Cell and was held on October 26 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, marking the second Hell in a Cell held at this venue after the 2010 event.

=Main event=
In the main event, Dean Ambrose faced Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match. Ambrose climbed the cell before the match began, and Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury emerged and tried to coax him down. Mercury and Noble climbed the cell but Ambrose attacked them with a kendo stick, allowing Rollins to climb the cell and attack Ambrose. Both attacked each other until they fell off the side of the cage and through the announce tables (similar to Mick Foley's famous 1998 incident). Both were placed onto stretchers until Ambrose recovered and attacked Rollins. The match officially started when both participants entered the cell. Ambrose sat on a chair while taunting Rollins and berating him for his betrayal. Ambrose performed a Diving Elbow Drop through a table on Rollins. Ambrose attempted to put Rollins through cinder blocks but Rollins avoided it. Kane sprayed a fire extinguisher at Ambrose through the cell, allowing Rollins to perform a Powerbomb through a table on Ambrose. Rollins executed a Curb Stomp on Ambrose for a near-fall. As Ambrose attempted a Curb Stomp on Rollins, the arena lights cut out and Bray Wyatt's lantern appeared in the middle of the ring, spraying out smoke and projecting an image of a ghostly specter while Wyatt was heard reciting an incantation. Wyatt emerged from the smoke and executed a Uranage Slam on Ambrose, who was then pinned by Rollins for the victory. After the match, Wyatt executed a Sister Abigail on Ambrose and laughed maniacally until the event ended.
Reception
The event received generally positive reviews. James Caldwell of Pro Wrestling Torch rated the Bella match and the Divas championship match between AJ Lee and Paige with 2 stars each, saying that Brie Bella's loss "[made] the babyface seem weak", while calling the Divas championship match a "solid match", but at the same time asking "Now, where do they go with A.J. and Paige after putting an end to their game of hot potato with the title?", referring to the title changes that the two exchanged at SummerSlam and Night of Champions. Caldwell didn't rate the Rollins vs. Ambrose match, stating that it was a "chaotic match fitting the feud", but with "a questionable TV-style finish to a main event.
Aftermath
The next night on Raw, Big Show and Mark Henry faced Gold and Stardust for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Henry turned heel when an argument ensued between him and Show when he executed the World's Strongest Slam on Show, thus costing themselves the match. After the match, Henry executed three World's Strongest Slams on Show.{{cite web|last=Tedesco|first=Mike|title=WWE Raw Results - 10/27/14 (John Cena vs. Seth Rollins)|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/51368-wwe-raw-results-10-27-14-live-results-from-san-antonio/|website=WrestleView|date=October 28, 2014|access-date=October 28, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028065107/https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-wrestling-results/wwe-raw-results/51368-wwe-raw-results-10-27-14-live-results-from-san-antonio/|archive-date=October 28, 2014|url-status=live}} On the November 3 episode, Henry and Show faced each other which Show won by disqualification after getting hit with a chair. The two continued the feud as both of them were on opposing teams of Team Cena/Team Authority at Survivor Series (Show on Team Cena, Henry on Team Authority).{{cite web|last=Tedesco|first=Mike|title=WWE Raw Results - 11/3/14 (Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins)|url=https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/51473-wwe-raw-results-11-3-14-live-results-from-buffalo/|website=WrestleView|date=November 4, 2014|access-date=November 4, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141104052258/https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-wrestling-results/wwe-raw-results/51473-wwe-raw-results-11-3-14-live-results-from-buffalo/|archive-date=November 4, 2014|url-status=live}}
Randy Orton, who was Curb Stomped by Seth Rollins on the Raw prior to Hell in a Cell, managed to get his retribution the next week. Orton turned face after he attacked Rollins with an RKO. In the process, he was no longer associated with the villainous stable The Authority. On the November 3 episode of Raw, Orton lost to Rollins in the main event. Orton was eventually attacked by fellow Authority member Kane, injuring him (in kayfabe) and leaving him to bleed. This was done so Orton could take leave to begin production on The Condemned 2: Desert Prey.
Meanwhile, with The Authority unhappy following John Cena's win to earn another shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Triple H challenged a team captained by Cena (including himself) to a traditional Survivor Series elimination match at the eponymous pay-per-view. Later that night, Cena faced Rollins in the main event. Cena won by disqualification after Kane got involved. This triggered a massive brawl involving the entire locker room, although Cena still stood tall in the end.
