The Hell in a Cell match featured some crazy moments that had fans watching at home stare at their screens in disbelief. Lashley and McIntyre’s rivalry has received criticism for their lack of innovation and repetitiveness. However, this match proved why two big dudes beating the cr*p out of each other is best for business.
McIntyre realised the weight of the situation and that he had everything to lose in this match. He came out of the gates with an early flurry, taking Lashley off his game. MVP slid his cane into the cell for Lashley to regain control, but McIntyre would not take that lightly.
Battering him with an Air Raid Crash on the steel steps, a reverse Alabama Slam on a steel chair, a spinebuster followed by a nasty powerbomb, a Futureshock DDT and a Claymore, but McIntyre still couldn’t put the champion away. It only took one interference from MVP for the All Mighty to take advantage and beat McIntyre.

Lashley took to Twitter to rub salt in McIntyre’s wounds. With this loss, McIntyre cannot challenge Lashley for the WWE Title anymore, and his place in the main event is at risk. Will there be some respite for McIntyre on Raw, or will Lashley continue to mock him for his embarrassing loss.
